Could You Fill Out This Job Application?

The seven-page, 63-question intrusive and extensive list of queries, first obtained by the New York Times and confirmed as legitimate by the Obama Transition Team, offers a revealing glimpse into both the Obama team's determination not to repeat the mistakes of its predecessors (Any nanny issues? Any discriminatory club memberships?) as well as the new era on which Obama will lead ("Please provide the URL address of any Web sites that feature you in either a personal or professional capacity, e.g. Facebook, My Space, etc.").

Does it really matter if they "repeat the mistakes of its predecessors"? America has just elected a person, to the highest office in the free world mind you, that not only can't get a security clearance based on his associations, but couldn't work for his own administration. And since when is it important what associations one has, for example? I thought those sorts of things didn't matter.

Does it matter if someone stands guard of the chicken coop making sure the foxes don't get in if that someone standing guard is, himself, a fox? Especially when the farmer is so willingly capable of swallowing the fox's slick speeches about how he's not a fox and to even suggest such a thing is speciesist and is so hung up on human guilt that he'd never entertain making such an accusation, no matter what his eyes and his gut tell him, in the first place.

Loved the bit about Freddie and Fannie. Pretty much excludes every Democrat currently drawing breath. Yeah, I know. I know. I keep forgetting the twin mottoes of "Do As I Say, Not As I Do" and "Okay For Me, But Not For Thee" on the Democrat Party's official seal.
