					<description><![CDATA[&lt;i&gt;If he’s a complete leftist tool, why is he so angry at Biden? I don’t think it’s quite as straightforward and simple as you say.&lt;/i&gt;

He&#039;s angry because he can&#039;t continue to pile on Trump as the worst person ever based on his &quot;unethical&quot; hiring practices. Of course being so focused on nepotism he misses the bigger picture, which is corruption and incompetence regardless of family connections. Lois Lerner, Comey, Brennan et al were just out and out corrupt, but no problem there because nepotism wasn&#039;t involved. Yes, the hell with him.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Heading an government ethics office does not make one an ethicist, Neo. Shaub is an attorney whose bio indicates no special interest nor training in ethics. The law is ethical in name only, as you know. 

Shaub is a bureaucrat, pure and simple.

Ezekiel Emanuel, brother of Rahm, claims to be a medical ethicist, but there is nothing ethical about him. He basically claims that most lives are not worth living post age 75 and is flirting with age-related euthanasia...&quot;to help the more needy, the more worthy&quot;.
He is just slightly short of being a Che Guevara, another MD who liked ending lives.

One needs to choose one&#039;s ethicists with care. Most academic bioethicists are leftists, as I discovered when investigating formal training therein after my retirement. 

Which is why I support the National Catholic Bioethics Center and read its publications.

Shaub&#039;s motive with his comments? Who knows?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What we actually need in the federal government is a serious system of examinations for recruitment and promotion to nearly all civilian positions. 

We also  need to extend to administrators nearly plenary discretion to dismiss employees - three signatures from your chain-of-command and you&#039;re gone.  Terminated employees who could demonstrate to a review board by a preponderance of the evidence they were dismissed for one of a half-dozen impermissible reasons would be due an indemnity and would trigger proceedings against those who signed off on their dismissal.  It&#039;s important that discretion be limited in filling positions to those who meet impersonal standards; it&#039;s not necessary to have federal employees&#039; feet nailed to the floor to assure professionalism.  

And, while we&#039;re at it, transparent systems of compensation is a must.  So is limiting compensation per worker in the public sector to a fixed ratio of compensation per worker in the private sector.  Of course, we&#039;ll never get either.]]></description>
