Block Bolton

I signed Care2 Connect's petition last night to block John Bolton's permanent appointment to the UN position.

Bolton is a disaster and it's so typical of this White House to sneak these things in when the general public is focused on other bigger snafus of foreign policy. Meanwhile, they're caving left and right inside the Senate, the premise being now that we've managed to turn the Middle East into a roiling snake pit of violence, we need consistency at the UN. But like I said to my two GOP lackeys in the Senate, if you must have a crony in the position, at least get me one that has some diplomatic ability.

We still have time to complain on this one but if you're unlikely to remember to write your Senators, click over and sign the petition. It couldn't hurt.
