The Bush Administration will find it hard to restore a respect for the rule of law at the lower levels of these agencies. It will need to demand wholesale transfers in order to break up existing rings of regulatory zealots.

But there is one thing it can do, and should do. Now. Tomorrow... ...White House personnel needs to get off the dime and begin to staff the senior level of the field bureaucracies.

Any ideas on WHO Dubya should appoint for these positions?

Sorry to disagree with you but in my opinion Hugh built his case well then sliced his approach shot.

White House personnel needs to get off the dime and begin to staff the senior level of the field bureaucracies. Wise appointments could quickly tame the worst abuses of law and regulation and at the same time could begin the effort to reclaim some key constituencies in the West. The political geography does not favor the President out here. But it is a political dynamic that only gets worse when the Administration does not bother to fix what it could even as it plans longer term relief where its hands are presently tied.

You know as well as I do what really needs to happen here.  Take a meat cleaver to these agencies. Don't buy into the federal bureaucracy.  Chop em up and dissolve them.  As long as a massive federal government and government financed NGOs exist, we are going to continue to have problem.  Sure we can man the federal bureaucracy with our boys, but that only works until the next hick from Arkansas comes along who's content to frolic in the collective cesspool.

Gut the federal agencies today.  Defund the NGOs immedidately.  Nationalize all lands purchased with federal grants and return them to the states.  Issue an EO striking down the Heritage River's act.  If I'm not mistake it was a Clinton EO that created that devils brew in the first place.  It was a flawed concept from the start.

Hi, DO - I am no golfer, but I assume that this is a bad thing. ;)

Not for those positions, RonD; but here's his *choice(s)* for protecting us at Justice.
Be sure to read carefully so maybe you'll understand Dubya's reasoning.
Lord knows, I sure in the hell can't make any sense of it.

Corporate lawyer gets nod as U.S. attorney
Posted on 09/05/2001 08:41:54 PDT by Donald Stone

A corporate defense attorney with an academic bent and few political connections, Thomas M. DiBiagio didn't expect to return when he left the U.S. attorney's office in Baltimore last year after a nine-year run prosecuting violent street gangs, deadly carjackings and brazen bank robberies.

But in DiBiagio, colleagues say, a mild-mannered demeanor masks the gut instincts of a seasoned prosecutor. First approached this winter about serving as Maryland's U.S. attorney, he couldn't refuse the chance, in his words, to try to make the office a "first-rate, independent and aggressive law firm."

The White House announced yesterday that President Bush will nominate DiBiagio, 41, of Parkton, to be the state's top federal prosecutor. His name is expected to go today to the Senate, which must confirm the appointment. But the nomination is not considered controversial, and DiBiagio could begin the job in an interim role within weeks.

Nor outside of the Fox News Network does any media outlet seem to care. Fox's William La Jeunesse owns the beat and has scooped all the other networks time and time again on these stories. If he doesn't win an Emmy it will be because of environmentalist criticism of the stories selection but not of the accuracy of the accounts.

From "FOX News Bios":

William La Jeunesse joined FOX News Channel’s (FNC) Los Angeles bureau as a reporter in March of 1998, where he also contributes reports for FOX News Edge, the network’s affiliate news service.

Prior to joining FNC, La Jeunesse spent three years as an investigative reporter for KTVK-TV (IND) in Phoenix, Arizona and before that served in the same capacity at KNSD-TV (NBC) in San Diego, where he won two Golden Microphone Awards and an EMMY Award, and KTSP-TV in Phoenix, where he received five local EMMY Awards.

A graduate of Syracuse University, La Jeunesse began his journalism career at the Arizona Republic, where he spent five years writing investigative pieces for the daily. He was named the Arizona Press Club Journalist of the Year in 1989 and the UPI Western Region Journalist of the Year in 1987 and 1989.

I rarely watch TV (even FOX!) - so I do not know this guy. Is anybody out there familiar with his work?

My post looks all garbled. Hope it came through for everyone else.

When a golfer tees off on moderate to long fairways, he hits that shot and possibly another before he can expect to hit one to the green. The shot that should hit the green becomes the approach shot. Hugh hit a great shot or two for good position just off the green. But when it came time to put it close to the hole, he blew the shot IMO.

Don't fix government, simple downsize it. Eliminating the departments who are abusing the power is the best way to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Looks good to me. I use Internet Explorer. Are you using Netscape? (Sometimes that makes a difference.)

Thanks for the golf info! I understand.

We should also elect LOCAL officials; governors, attorneys general, sheriffs, et al, who will pledge to fight for the rights of their constituents against the unwieldy Feds.

We should also lobby Congress to take back the power from unelected officials. Rep. JD Hayworth from AZ tried to introduce a bill to do this, but the party leadership never gave it a hearing.

Thanks for the ping and Bump.

William La Jeunesse asks; "What really happened at the 30 mile fire?
Well, investigators from two federal agencies are trying to find out
One of the questions they're asking is this. Did a policy to protect fish endanger firemen?

District Ranger John Newcom says, "We have Chinook Salmon, we have Steelhead, we have Bull trout, um all three of those species are in the Chewuch and they all are a consideration as we fight fire.

William La Jeuness: "A consideration but not an obstacle insists Ranger John Newcomb. But two veteran fighfighters with intimate knowledge of this fire and the river that ran through it tell a different story...
