About Me

Name: Dot Calm

Like Granny D, I have watched my own beloved country change, and I am angry beyond words about what I see. 

I grew up seeing America as the equivalent of the movie good guy, the hero in the white hat who came to the rescue of those in need around the world. 

I have watched in silent horror as the corporations, the captains and the kings of industry, used a comparatively small outlay of cash to buy the Republicans to use as their shills. 

George W. Bush is the puppet cowboy-king of shills, the proverbial emperor with no clothes. 

Every day, I watch these evil men legalize, legitimize, and institutionalize robbing the poor to pay the rich. 

They are carving up America like a giant carcass and doling out choice chunks of its meat to themselves and their cronies. 

Since the Democrats have been sipping at the same corporate teat where the Republicans have been gorging for the past generation, the fascists are free to do their worst; there is no longer any opposition. 

There is no one left to stand up for the rights of the American people, the Constitution, or the democracy, which I fear will be replaced by a fascist dictatorship in my lifetime. 
 

Wake up, America!

This is a list of ambassadors of the United States to individual nations of the world, to international organizations, to past nations, and ambassadors-at-large.

Ambassadors are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate.

An ambassador can be appointed during a recess of the Senate, but can serve only to the end of the next session of Congress unless subsequently confirmed by the Senate. 

Ambassadors serve "at the pleasure of the President," which means that they can be dismissed at any time.

An ambassador may be a career foreign service officer or a political appointee.

In most cases, U.S. ambassadors who are career foreign service officers serve a tour of approximately three years in a foreign post.

Ambassadors who are political appointees will customarily tender their resignations upon inauguration of a new President.

As embassies fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of State, ambassadors answer to the Secretary of State.
