Stevens Indicted
Posted on July 29th, 2008 by John
Heh-heh. Hee-hee. BWAHAHAHAHHHHAHAAAAAAHHHAAAAAA! Heh-heh.
No one answered at Stevens’ Senate Office in D.C. and the answering machine recording said that the office was closed. In a call to his Anchorage campaign office, the staffer who answered responded, “What?” when asked for a comment on the indictment, followed by a long silence. The staffer would not give further comment on whether or not the office knew that the indictment was handed up today.
Hee. Oh, yeah. You can read the indictment HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH here. Stevens was a corrupt fool, and not even very good at that. It could only have happened to a nicer guy.
EPA Battens Down the Hatches

An EPA chief of staff issues gag order to employees:
“Please do not respond to questions or make any statements,” the June 16 e-mail said, advising staff to direct questioners to senior staff members cleared to answer questions from outside the agency.
Robbi Farrell, chief of staff of the EPA’s compliance assurance division, sent the e-mail to 11 managers in the department.
The e-mail was posted on a Web site of the Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility. The group, an alliance of state and federal environmental professionals, labeled the communication a “gag order”…
EPA press director Roxanne Smith rejected that characterization, saying the e-mail was about efficiency, not secrecy.
The memo was a response to a May 2007 audit by the Inspector General’s Office that found the EPA did not respond earlier to IG reports on problems with water enforcement and other issues, The Associated Press reported. The audit, however, did not make any recommendations governing communication between staff and the Inspector General’s Office.
The agency has become a toothless collection of aparatchiks in service to the Bush Administration’s relentless corporate cronyism.

That he may never more false title plead,
Nor sound his quillets shrilly.”
