My thoughts too....I was initially encouraged when I saw REI but then seeing the banker/oil engineer in her past sort of tempered my enthusiasm.

She has to immediately stop the wofl hunts and DEMAND that it be based on science and not ranchers bullshit rhetoric...

I never thought there would be a worse Sec of Int after James Watt, but Salazar has been an unmitigated fucking disaster...

i simply do NOT understand how Obama's thought process works when picking these people...
