Biden s selection of Jennifer Granholm as Secretary of Energy is a good choice. A hard worker, a great communicator, and a champion of renewable energy.
The BAU everyone is adamant is about to occur – will not. Sure, change is not going to be fast enough for most round these parts, but this lady is no dinosaur nor a rich crony.
Hard working experienced people. I reckon Joe s doing alright building a team considering everyone s expectations are so low.

More significantly, the appointment of Granholm may signal an intention to re-orient the Department of Energy to actually be mostly about energy, rather than being a deceptive name for the keeper of the nuclear weapons stockpile.
Not a good day at the office for Mallard today. $333k cost to the tax payer so far, plus a further $37k in legal fees and the accused apparently has a case against parliamentary services. I think this is going to cost the tax payer a lot more half a million. This really irks me when my taxes go towards defending MP s for saying stupid things. The funds could have fed a few families at Christmas.

Jester: the accused apparently has a case against parliamentary services.
That is true but nothing to do with Mallards activity nor did Mallard have anything to do with the cause of the accused being let go by Parliamentary Services. Try harder Jester.
