Good-old-boy network lives

It would appear that the president is taking advice from a past generation of mothers who told us "take the cod liver oil because it is good for what ails you."

Most of our previous presidents filled positions with candidates who were qualified through education and experience. Our current leader seems to feel that being a loyal friend of George W. or inner circle members satisfies the criteria for leadership.

Sending John Bolton to the United Nations is like sending a demolition crew to remodel a house. "Bring it on" strikes again.
