Anonymous Democratic officials are telling the Associated Press that Obama's transition team is looking to tap Patti Solis Doyle to become Cabinet secretary in the Obamistration. Solis Doyle, sister of 25th Ward Alderman Danny Solis, was fired from Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign in February, and went on to join the Obama campaign as Joe Biden's chief of staff. Solis Doyle is reportedly interested, but is "[worried] about the effect it would have on her two young children." Now we love Chicago as much as anybody (naturally), but we're still thinking perhaps our President-Elect should expand his Cabinet pool a bit to include people more than 1 degree of separation from a Daley.

"T" for "Texas": The folks at Republican Market, which is billed as "your premier source for infantile, xenophobic, racist and barely literate Republican and patriotic merchandise on the web" were selling buttons at last weekend's Texas Republican Convention that read, "If Obama is President... will we still call it the White House?" Showing that they were equal opportunity offenders they also sold buttons reading, "Press 1 for English. Press 2 for Deportation" and "I will hold my nose when I vote for McCain." These are the kind of people who could benefit from hearing this song in a constant loop.
