Snark of the day

I owe Greyhawk a beer.

WaPo: Obama Picks Shinseki to Lead Veterans Affairs.

Why I like this pick: if Shinseki says he needs, say, 650,000 (random number) additional hires in the V.A. he'll get them. There can be absolutely no argument made against this - in the media, on Capitol Hill, or elsewhere.

Downside (as all Army vets who've emailed me on this have pointed out): V.A. berets.

Gold.
