White House Refused to Open EPA E-Mail

The New York TImes reports White House Refused to Open Pollutants E--Mail. "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 (MA vs EPA) ruling that required it to determine whether greenhouse gases represent a danger to health or the environment, the officials said."

I don't even know where to begin.

Stewart just picked this one up on The Daily Show.

Of course you know where to begin. Impeachment. While it's hardly sufficient, it's the only option short of armed insurrection. The problem with armed insurrection of course is that we have most of the guns down here, owned (alas) by most of the people who still think that Bush isn't an incompetent fuckwit.

Now do you understand why I'm liberal(ish) AND armed?
