Almost got it right in the theater of the absurd

 

I know Mr. Walsh was speaking to the absurd, but he wasn’t far off.

Instead of a polyamorous genderqueer indigenous furry on the Supreme Court, we get a drag queen LGBT activist who’s into ‘puppy play’ as the new  Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy at the Department of Energy named Sam Brinton or Sister Ray Dee O’Active depending on the venue.

In all fairness, Brinton does have dual Master’s degree in engineering systems and nuclear science and engineering from MIT.  So he’s got a background in nuclear engineering, which is good (and unexpected).  As long as the education and background are there, really don’t care what happens among consenting adults.  

My concern is that he’s 32 years old and has been working as a lobbyist for a nuclear waste startup, which immediately says to me that there is a conflict of interest.
