There’s a car in the parking lot of my office with a bumber sticker that reads “If you aren’t completely appalled, you must not be paying attention.” Well today, I am appalled.
According to an article in today’s New York Times,
The White House in December refused to accept the Environmental Protection Agency’s conclusion that greenhouse gases are pollutants that must be controlled, telling agency officials that an e-mail message containing the document would not be opened, senior E.P.A. officials said last week.
The document, which ended up in e-mail limbo, without official status, was the E.P.A.’s answer to a 2007 Supreme Court ruling that required it to determine whether greenhouse gases represent a danger to health or the environment, the officials said.
WTF??????!!!!!!!
Apparently, this is the White House equivalent of sticking one’s fingers in one’s ears and screaming “lalalalalalala, I can’t hear you!!!”
Pathetic … and yet perfectly representative of this entire stupid administration. November cannot get here soon enough.
