People should stop picking on vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin because she hired a high school classmate to oversee the state agriculture division, a woman who said she was qualified for the job because she liked cows when she was a kid.
If she can talk national security and foreign policy because she can see Russia from her state (its not just Cindy McCain saying it, Sarah herself said it again in the Charlie Gibson interview), surely her friend can be agriculture minister because she liked cows as a kid. :)That's from an oped by Timothy Egan, which has a lot more interesting stuff which you should go read but I just wanted to put it here to say: Move over, Sharad Pawar. Please go take back your reins to the BCCI from Mr. Lalit Modi, if you please but the Agriculture ministry will be better served by my friend, Amit, who has written 100+ posts on cows, and so is eminently qualified to be the Minister of Agriculture of India.
