    There should be minimum requirements for these positions instead of the president appointing whoever the fuck he wants. For example, the secretary of health should have expertise in health. The attorney general should be a lawyer.

      That seems like a good tenet, but it goes against my presumption that I could do a better job than these idiots without that expertise. I could overcome that feeling to be pragmatic about enacting such a requirement, but then we would still end up with someone like Mehmet Oz or Phil McGraw as health secretary.
