You nailed it. So-called 'Civil Service Reforms' have been a disaster for all Americans not on the take.

This bureaucrat should be grateful he's escaping with his hide intact; most of his ilk deserve a public horse-whipping, not a pension.

[brityank]

Thanks for the info; makes you want to ... !!

Something to keep in mind when you confront these slimeballs and the money they steal -- "We only provide it for a specified purpose." -- Meanwhile, that frees up the other funds they would have had to allocate to bring more actions against the government. They are truly despicable.

[Grampa Dave]

Great find. This is only the tip of the iceberg!

The really big and hidden donations are the enviral card carrying federal employees pushing, creating and implementing the Druid agendas of these enviral scumbags while we are paying them. Then come the envirual injecting professors at our state universities and colleges. We pay them to be professors, and they brain wash generations into hating capitalism and buying into the watermelon enviral agendas.

He probably just got a better job offer, and decided a little political grandstanding would make him a semi-celebrity at his next wine-and-brie social.

He did. It was proven months ago that he signed a deal with a private company THREE WEEKS before his grandstanding resignation, which he blast-faxed to every environmental group and media outlet he could get the phone numbers for.

[Timesink]

Oh, excuse me, that was Eric Schaeffler I was talking about; he's mentioned further down in the article.

The Center for Biological Diversity has been working to protect the Mexican spotted owl and its old-growth habitat for over 10 years. While much has been accomplished, the struggle to preserve our remaining old-growth and stop the spotted owl's slide towards extinction is far from over .

Dr. Robin Silver of the Center for Biological Diversity petitioned to have the species listed under the Endangered Species Act in 1989. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife agreed that the petition was warranted, and the owl was listed as Threatened in March, 1993.

Sounds to me like they are leaving before Bush gets around to throwing their lame assets out the door.

...we band of few.

The few, the proud, the brave

[BOBTHENAILER]

WOW. Thanks a million.

[BOBTHENAILER]

This article is the best news we've had today.

I agree wholeheartedly, and there will be more to come.

[BOBTHENAILER]

You nailed it. Better to leave and make a big stink than to be resigned to pickin' your feet in Poughkipsie (sp).

[BOBTHENAILER]

He did. It was proven months ago that he signed a deal with a private company THREE WEEKS before his grandstanding resignation, which he blast-faxed to every environmental group and media outlet he could get the phone numbers for.

Typical leftist slimeball.

Did you see that PETA is now after references to God, inasmuch as he gave us dominion over all the earth.

This sh!t will never stop, thank GOD. The more they press it, the more the sheeple wake up.

[VOA]

That makes him one of a number of senior career officials across several
environmental agencies who have quit since the Bush administration took over.
They include senior lawyers from the Environmental Protection Agency, a state
director for the Bureau of Land Management, scientists with years of experience and top bureaucrats in Washington.

Any scientist who stayed in the EPA during some part of the Clinton/Gore administration,
then decides that Dubya's administration is creating a hostile work environment...
should just GET THE H-LL OUT!!!

And good riddance to this rubbish, especially the "bureaucrats".
I have much more respect for prostitutes than for bureacrats. Prostitutes work for a living.

[BOBTHENAILER]

There is a slight difference between prostitutes and bureaucrats. Prostitutes get screwed for a living, bureaucrats screw us for a living, and we pay for it.
