Tooting my own horn

MANIFESTO

I feel a certain pride in Spencer Ackerman's effusive statements ("inspired choice" and all that) about the selection of Eric Shinseki as Obama's Veterans' Affairs Secretary, since I suggested Gen. Shinseki for the post before the election was even held.

(I also suggested Richard Danzig for Secretary of Defense, but that seemed like more of a no-brainer. Anyway, it looks like Danzig will assume the post before the end of 2009.)
