Well, not those Feds.

Southwest Airlines chairman Herb Kelleher was named Thursday to the board of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas for a one-year term.

Each regional Federal Reserve bank has a nine-member board that includes representatives of commercial banks, the public and members appointed by the Board of Governors in Washington.

Alright Herb! The Dallas Fed could probably use a little levity these days.

However, I don’t think they allow smoking in those Fed meetings.

This could pose a problem.
