Diving into the job -- boots first
With a Texan leaving the White House, we thought we'd be losing some of the cowboy-country stuff that moseyed into the federal bureaucracy eight years ago.
For example, get a load of this hypothetical that crept into the federal code in January 2001 -- just days before President Bush's inauguration.
In ethics rules for federal employees, it offered this hypothetical guidance:
"Example 8: The head of a cabinet-level department may contribute one
of her worn-out cowboy boots to the campaign committee of a Senatorial
candidate to be auctioned off in a fundraising raffle for the benefit of
the candidate's campaign."
We're not sure if former Interior Secretary Gale Norton ever took advantage of the rule.
But have no fear, collectors of cowboy kitsch.
It's still relevant thanks to the nomination of boot-wearing Coloradan, Sen. Ken Salazar, to be Interior Secretary.
With all the (expletive) kicking that President-elect Barack Obama has asked Salazar to do, he'll wear out a pair in no time.

Easter is family time! I resent having interlopers witness my ritual mortification at the hands of my sister and children. That’s private. Hey, look, kids, a train! I wonder if it will crash, foreshadowing the course my life is on now.

Have you ever thought about adding just a little bit far more than just your thoughts? I mean, what you say is essential and every thing. But its got no punch, no pop! Possibly if you added a pic or two, a video? You could have such a more effective weblog should you let men and women SEE what youre talking about as an alternative to just reading it.
