Yesterday, the Obama administration appointed James Costos, HBO's vice president of global licensing and retail, as the United States ambassador to Spain, making good use of his intimate knowledge concerning vampire-human relations and the migration patterns of Dothraki hordes.
The appointment probably has more to do with Costos' fundraising efforts on behalf of the Democratic Party, but those skills can't hurt. Former movie studio executive Rufus Gifford and soap opera producer Colleen Bell are also up for nominations, so if anyone would like to make wild speculations about the power of the government-entertainment complex, now would be the time.
