Is this Sylvia Burwell?
Or is this? Or vice versa?
Okay. I’m confused. I admit it when I am. One of the ladies above is the new nominee for Secretary of Health & Human Services. The other is a trans-gender teacher who is presently fighting for his/her public school job. You know. I was working on two posts and then I lost track. Sorry.
Anyhow, whichever one is Sylvia, the most up to date news about his/her credentials comes to us from National Review:
Obama’s Next HHS Secretary Doesn’t Really Have Health-Care Experience
Sylvia Burwell, whom President Obama is expected to nominate to replace Kathleen Sebelius as the secretary of health and human services, has a long professional career in business and consulting, but lacks substantial professional or political experience with health care.Her résumé, according to Dan Diamond of the Advisory Board, only includes a stint as a board member at the University of Washington Medical Center. “Burwell’s track record in health care is not well-established,” Diamond writes in a briefing for the Advisory Board, a health-care consulting firm.
Her predecessor, Secretary Sebelius, served as Kansas state insurance commissioner for eight years, giving her control over, for instance, regulating health insurers and approving or rejecting the premiums they set.
Burwell’s private-sector experience has been with McKinsey, where she did consulting for financial services firms, and the Gates and Walmart Foundations, where she held executive positions. In the public sector, she’s worked on the budget and economics side of things, working for the National Economic Council in the Clinton White House and, most recently, running the Obama administration’s Office of Management and Budget…
I’m sure he or she will be every bit as effective as his/her predecessor, who closed out his/her own tenure very appropriately, with a final stupid lie.
Sebelius Two Weeks Ago: ‘I’m in’ for ‘Round 2’ of Obamacare
Obama said he’d heard of the secretary’s intention to leave in early March. Maybe untruth is the newest form of addiction. Maybe we need billions for a new kind of rehab program.
Just gets worse and worse. But after all, transgenders have rights too.
More than us lowly, backward Christians, it appears.
Another funny atheist line is the one about how religion is only for weak-minded simpletons who can’t handle reality. However, they fully support the mental illness of those who would willingly pay to surgically mutilate their own genitals to pretend they are a different sex, to the point that we have to get laws passed to enforce the fantasy. Yeah, they’re brave warriors. Anyone who says different is a homophobe.
You’re an animal, Tim. Have you no sense of decency?

Mutilating our genitals on a narcissistic whim is completely covered by a penumbra of the Constitution, which everyone who knows the capital of Bolivia figured out long before you emerged from your racist, sexist, homophobic caveful of disgusting white men.
Whichever one is Sylvia is a Harvard grad, I’ve heard, so I am reassured.
Me too.
Uh, how was the trip to the Mainland? Did what needed to get done get done?
You might want to cruise the comments of the past several weeks’ posts. You’re held in high regard here, and at least a couple tried to impress you. Including me. [simper]
