But I recognize that more often than not Internet anonymity means pointless trolling.<BR/><BR/>I just didn't bother to register for a name because I had no intention of becoming a regular here. So "drive-by" is correct; hopefully I have not been cowardly or a troll.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12392119.post-17518207828535454692008-11-13T07:24:00.000-08:002008-11-13T07:24:00.000-08:00When you choose a name that IDs you from all other...When you choose a name that IDs you from all other Anonymous donars, I might consider rereading. Usually, I unceremoniously delete Anonymous comments.

They are all members of the transition team that will help select the eventual members of the Obama Cabinet and other key posts.<BR/><BR/>Moreover, in a kind of glass houses way, is it not odd for you to be critical of the idea of recycling old hands from previous Administrations? Or of West Wing inhabitants having prominent fathers?<BR/><BR/>Last, to point out a factual inaccuracy, Secretary Christopher is not leading the State Department transition. More credible news sources, relying on, you know, the actual press release, are reporting that Tom Donilon is in fact the one handling State transition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
