I think Duncan is a bad pick, and I have plenty of reasons why. But Leslie, my wife/friend/lover/philosopher points out the following: 1) Bush is going 2) Things will get better 3) It's OK to criticize, we're headed towards a more open government--and Obama, while not perfect, at least will defend his choices. So I am waiting for the defense. On the other hand, Leslie (again, wisely) notes that it's no offense to criticize the President, that this new guy might even welcome it. Hokey smokes, we might even become America again. I’m one of those left-handed all-or-none buttheads who catastrophizes everything, so take this with a grain of salt….
