Ship of Fools

After the intitial shock wore off, having read the headline - "Of Course: Obama’s Commerce Department Nominee is a Global Warming Fanatic" - and coming to terms with the fact that Barack Obama and accompanying loons can indeed find a correlation between commerce - or the destruction thereof - and "global warming,"  I came to accept this as almost making sense.

But then I read further and found out that Obama's nominee is the "co-founder of the liberal environmentalist group Natural Resources Defense Council."  The Natural Resources Defense Council being an advocacy group calling for the destruction of the human race for its own good, before it's too late and the human race self-destructs.

An environmental advocate. 

Call me old-fashioned, but shouldn't a Commerce Secretary have some background in commerce?

But then I try to remember, the guy who nominated him has no background for his position either.

And it shows.

That is indeed old-fashioned thinking. Obama and the people in his administration think commerce is something to be controlled, not promoted.
