Rick Perry to Head Dept. of Energy

Don't worry. I'll shut the DOE down in an orderly fashion.

Yeah, it's the one agency that Rick Perry famously forgot, but it's also an agency he said he would close down.

Yes, the left is having a lot of fun with the irony, but I think it's a good pick. As someone who wants the federal government to be less intrusive in my life, I want the people at the head of federal agencies to be predisposed against using their power rather than being thrilled with their ability to inflict regulations on us.

So far, I'm pretty impressed with the Cabinet nominees.
