Salazar is in the position he is in because he is a willing dupe, don't expect his replacement to be any less so.
The same is true with replacements of sec of state and all other cabinet level positions. We can howl to high heaven about Kerry and even if his nomination were stopped, the next nominee would be equally moon batty liberal.
Not a chance. The new SecDoI will be far worse as Obamugabe is unconstrained by reelection.
Heavy sigh...
I know this is pedantic, but it's a pet peeve of mine. To "beg the question" means to evade the question, not to elicit the question. Think "beg off". There was a time when any respectable news editor would never have made a mistake like that.
this is UN's dangerous agenda of removing infrastructure (dams) to return land to wilderness . Saving fish is the fake reason. Once destroyed is will be too expensive to rebuild.

We are so screwed.
Remember this is the “reality based community”, the self proclaimed party of Science with a Kapital W.
There was a recent quotation [don’t remember who] that said every movement starts off with good intentions, becomes a business and ends up a scam.......Like this one
Well—It all worked for Stalin, didn’t it?
“Truth is treason in the empire of lies” - Ron Paul
Obama’s perversion of truth and fact rivals that of Orwell’s Big Brother right down to the Ministry of Truth, the US media, who will willingly put anything down the “memory hole” that contradicts the current party line.
“coercive manipulation, sublimating science to political priorities, censorship, and scientific misconduct.”
Didn’t they accuse Bush of doing this?

Ya think?????
I published an article for "Operation America" on FR in 2001 (now here discussing the flawed technical bases and real motives for enviro-racketeering in the Klamath basin. Nothing has changed except that the green goals are bigger than ever. It will be of some tragic irony to see what happens to the tribes that served as foils for this gambit when that river floods. Interestingly, although the fishery will be damaged by removal of those dams, a good flood would at least break up some of the gravels that they need to spawn. There was an easier way to get that done that might even make money, but nobody seems interested.
I have been involved in this issue for more than a decade and Spady is right on the mark. The EIR was shocking. The scientists would come to one conclusion in their official panel report and the writer of the EIR would completely and glaringly misstate what they had said to support their dam removal agenda. Our County has indicated that it will proceed with a lawsuit I they continue with the document.
There is also another issue. The Upper Basin water is heavily nutrient rich from the millions of years of migratory birds using the shallow lakes. The dams currently act as settling ponds to remove organic matter and clean up the water. If dams are removed, the quality of the water will take a nose dive. The high summer temperatures will also create algae blooms that will remove the dissolved oxygen in the water. Between water quality and sediment, I believe there is a pretty good chance that dam removal could extirpate coho salmon and likely impact steelhead, Chinook and sturgeon as well.
Also, if you or anybody else is aware of a specific keyword for articles that expose and/or showcase what might otherwise be classified as "junk science" in a different context. In any case, if there's not a keyword for these types of articles, might I suggest "politicalscience"? Descriptive don't you think???
