Do Not Pass Go, Do Not Collect A Presidential Appointment

Slate's Timothy Noah is a very deft and funny writer (though pride of place yields to his late wife Marjorie Williams, who was, bar none, the toughest chronicler of Washington I have ever read), and so it's worth it to read his Do Not Appoint List, up on the web today. I don't know that I think it's full of revolutionary picks; many of the folks he highlights probably aren't really plausible picks for the jobs he considers and rejects them for anyway, but as a literal blizzards of names blankets Washington, it's nice to see someone issuing some vetoes, rather than recommendations.
