quiz: identify the one good word in his opening paragraph:
In the last Democratic debate, Joe Biden declared that he would nominate a woman as his vice-presidential running mate. That felt right at the time. But times have changed. Biden needs to go much, much further: At the Democratic convention he needs to name not just his vice president, but his entire cabinet. And it needs to be a totally different kind of cabinet — a national unity cabinet — from Democrats on the Bernie Sanders left to Republicans on the Mitt Romney right. Why?

That is a vmic Thomas Friedman Bold Idea (tm). It is strong, forthright, fresh and new, also unnecessary, unworkable and so self-important as to be faintly insane.

the important thing is that the GOP and republicans would really notice the pre-emptive compromise by Biden and the Democratic party, and realize that they, too, should act in a bi-partisan way from now on. we could look forward to a new era of total partnership between the parties, wow!

i never thought anything would get through to mitch mcconnell's cold heart, but i think a cabinet made up of half republicans and half democrats would really change him, i do!!

the slogan that comes to mind was suggested to me by the environmental innovator Hal Harvey. Harvey didn’t know he was suggesting it; he just happened to sign off a recent email to me by writing: “Respect science, respect nature, respect each other.”I thought — wow, that’s a perfect message for Biden, and for all of us.
I thought — wow, that’s a perfect message for Biden, and for all of us.
so the answer to this sounds like between 0 and 2 seconds.
