Now tagless for your comfort.

It looks like the FDA is reconsidering the appointment of a male veternarian as head of the Women's Health Office

Even though they back peddled on this, my rage knows no bounds. WTF? Have they learned NOTHING about agency appointments????

No they have not.

The Bush administration is seeking to appoint a lawyer with little immigration or customs experience to head the troubled law enforcement agency that handles those issues, prompting sharp criticism from some employee groups, immigration advocates and homeland security experts.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also, they've announced that OSHA will be headed by an incontinent monkey, as their plans to nominate a garden slug proved too controversial.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Brown's getting OSHA?

Huh. I thought his incontinence was still a secret.

Nah - I'd call what he did pissing on NOLA.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Brown's getting OSHA?

No, he's the one who was too controversial.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Huh. I knew that Paris Hilton wasn't as rich as we might think (she's as heiress, but hasn't inherited yet), but I just read that her parents were famously cash-strapped. True?

According to Wikipedia, the grandfather hasn't died yet, so its likely the parents haven't gotten their full inheritance either.

On the other hand, Wikipedia also says:

In 2005, Rick, Kathy, and their two younger sons moved into a 1930s Bel-Air mansion, which they purchased for $10,000,000 USD. The family also maintains a $6.3 million home in The Hamptons on Long Island, New York.
