7. Climate Czar
EPA is too small. If Obama is going to do a "moon shot" and break the US dependence on fossil fuel, who could better lead the charge?

8. He wouldn't take it. I'm sure Obama would love him to do it but ...
I really don't think Al would take it.

3. Just think. If Nader had supported the Democrats, he could have a job like that
and maybe actually make a difference rather than being an obstruction in the road to progress.

6. Meh...
He decided to go the racial slur route. Might as well join the Republican Party if you ask me. Fuck him.

19. Cool, glad you found it...
I will say this. Shepard Smith is one of the few tolerable people on that network.

10. hell yeah!
Edited on Wed Nov-05-08 11:35 PM by CreekDog
and i'm sure they'll be elevating EPA to Cabinet Status --it's just an agency now.

(they have the numbers in congress to do it and a president who will agree)

13. Anybody see the 6pm airing of Countdown?
I think the 7pm airing displayed a picture of RFK when mentioning the possibility of RFK Jr as EPA head.
