More Cabinet Appointments

Barack Obama nominated Colorado senator Ken Salazar to be his Secretary of the Interior. What, another Senate vacancy to be created? Forget the filibuster-proof majority; the Democrats won't even have a quorum!
Tom Vilsack, the former governor of Iowa, is tapped to be Secretary of Agriculture, which seems fitting, but I have yet to understand the logic of Obama naming outgoing Illinois congressman Ray LaHood as Secretary of Transportation. But I'm sure we'll find out.
Still no Secretary of Labor nominee, I don't like that . . .
