[ As speculations abound over who President-elect Barack Obama will name to key cabinet positions, we look at some of the central figures advising Obama, many of whom are leading candidates for posts in the nextadministration. We speak with Jeremy Scahill, author of the new piece “ThisIs Change? 20 Hawks, Clintonites and Neocons to Watch for in Obama’s WhiteHouse,” and David Corn, author of “The Agents of Change on Obama’sTransition Team.” ]

A year ago, when Barack Obama said it was time to turn the page, hiscampaign declaration seemed to promise a fresh start for Washington. I, forone, failed to foresee Obama would turn the page backward. Thepresident-elect's lineup for key governing positions has opted forcontinuity, not change. Virtually all of his leading appointments arerestoring the Clinton presidency, only without Mr. Bill. In some importantways, Obama's selections seem designed to sustain the failing policies ofGeorge W. Bush. ]

Happy Thanksgiving
Yeah -- that went out to da List!
Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
We won't be heading up to Harlem until sometime after 6 PM.
None of this farmer's hours of Noon Dinner around here! I swear, back in the day, our grandfathers would have had a heart attack if they didn't get fed dinner every single day on the dot of noon.
Supper had more leeway, as in summers they tended to work from sun up to sun down, so supper came after that.
Love, C.
