Yes! And it is all so charming and amusing. With smilies too ... what's not to like?

Peace, love and fluffy kittens riding on pink unicorns!

Do you two sit at the same table at snack time too? :smile:

To be loved and appreciated by Ceeboo is a truly indescribable experience.

(I'd have to move to Spirit Prison to deploy the appropriate similies.)

But back to Rick Perry, perhaps ...

Are you flirting with me? :redface:

I'll confess that I am a tad flattered, but perhaps a PM would have been a better choice?

(That was a little awkward)

He's completely unqualified for the position, and he ran for president on a platform that including abolishing the department. He's the last person that should be running the Department of Energy. Sad. If Republicans are on-board the Steve Bannon plan to destroy American government institutions, then why not simply work with Trump to abolish the Department of energy, and all other departments they hate, instead of putting a completely unqualified person in charge, presumably in hopes that he will drive it into the ground?
