Speaking Of The Hammer
When I read this story, all I could think was WTF? I mean WTFF?
The White House is looking at a list of cost-cutting candidates to head the Office of Management and Budget, and Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, may be on it.
Would that be the same Tom Delay who said that there was no fat left in the federal budget? That "cost-cutting candidate"? That appointment would indicate that the administration is completely unserious about cutting spending (not that there hasn't been abundant evidence of that over the past five plus years).

this is an administration that neither manages nor budgets,
it would make sense to try and Hire Rep DeLay for this job.
it's along the lines of Hiring Mike Brown for FEMA.

If you want to balance the budget, hire the man who did it last time -- John Kasich (former Republican Congressman from Ohio).

Apparently previous indicators were missed, so the Administration is looking for a poster child.
