I'm so disappointed in the Energy Secretary pick.

I wanted him to pick Palin. She is an expert on energy, after all.

1. I think Obama's going to make her the head of the USDA

[ashling]

5. At least she would be an eksillunt turkey inspector

nothing gets by her!

[pinkpops]

2. she can see the aurora borealis from her front yard

3. Also too

8. Oooh, pretty picture with pinkish-purple light!

It reminds me of some of the paintings I saw years ago at the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, by a school of Russian painters, circa 1900, which played with the light of the far north.

Regrettably I never remembered the painters' names, nor have I seen anything about their art anywhere else over the years. A shame -- their work just blew me away.

10. Spectacular Photo!

4. The sad thing is that a few days ago I was googling "Secretary of Energy" and one suggestion was...

"secretary of energy Palin"

Apparently there are lots of people searching for that. I weep for my country.

6. I was sort of hoping he'd pick her for the head of homeland security.

After all, she can see Putin's head as it floats over the Alaskan border. :crazy:

7. I know!! With Palin on watch, we have never been attacked by Russia

She MUST be doing something right

:sarcasm:

[SeattleGirl]

9. Obviously, Obama is too dumb for words if he missed on THAT pick!

:silly:

[Political Tiger]

11. She's too busy protecting us from Russia

Putin better watch himself! Sarah's on his trail!

12. Terrible pick

Chu seems like such an elitist. What with all his book-learning and all.

[Shiver]

14. I know, seriously!

And you know he is sooooo going to be lording that Nobel Prize over them every single day.

:rofl:

[sofa king]

15. Welcome to DU, Jay!

I've heard it said in jest that the one thing Nobel-winning scientists have in common is they're all excellent at raising money. That also might come in handy once we find out how truly broke we are.

(I expect we'll find that out around January 23rd.)

13. ROFL,, Putin is rearing his head!!!!
