Ezra Klein is disappointed  that Tom Vilsack, former governor of Iowa, is being floated as a possible Secretary of Agriculture. John Schwenkler is curt:

...if you expected anything else, then I've got a few gallons of E-85 to sell you. As has been the case in any number of other instances, the kind of "I read Michael Pollan!" talk that gets folks like Ezra and Alice Waters all excited was just that - talk - and all those who fell for it should be taking a lot more cynicism with their morning coffee.
