You couldn't trust these two guys to run a hotdog stand properly. They are there for one thing only: to see to it that environmental peotection does not interfere with the business interests of companies priviliged by the Bush administration.

Poppycock!

That’s rather ignorant to assume that everyone appointed by a president is his puppet. Does everyone Sarkozy appoints go around squeezing breasts in public? Does everyone Putin appoints randomly kiss the stomachs of young boys? I think not! *harrumph*

I’d also like to know what you believe the function of the EPA is after a natural disaster. Not to mention the functions of the state and local governments. I’d also like to see how any branch of government runs a hotdog stand.
