First things first..

Well,it's over,and we won!..(I use the term 'we' as a means of distinguishing them,from us),and it's time to get down to the business of,..business.

Healing the wounds endured by both sides of the aisle,reaching out to the other side,and building a bridge between our ideological philosophies.

In that respect,the second most important decision President-elect Obama has to make,(first being the appointment of the White House dog),is the selection of his Chief-of-Staff.

Everything I know about politics,I learned from watching 'West Wing',..so trust me when I tell you that the President's Chief-of-Staff is the designated hitter for the Oval Office.

So today,when I learned that Rahm Emanuel had accepted that position in the Obama administration,I lickity-split on over to Google,and did a little vetting of my own.
It's my job..

Turns out,the guy has a reputation for being doggedly ambitious,fiercely argumentative,and decidedly 'old school' when it comes to the subtle,and not so subtle machinations of politics..
A freakin' raptor,poised to swoop down,and gorge upon the bloody entrails of the freshly slaughtered Republican carcass!

..works for me.
