Lowered Johnson

Prepare for your opinion of EPA Administrator Johnson to be further reduced 2

This excellent article in The Philadelphia Inquirer about EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson did something I thought was impossible: lower my opinion of him.

It shows how, in case after case, Johnson put political loyalty above science and common sense—a fundamental abdication of his job.

Suffice it to say that, more than ever, I’m looking forward to Jan. 20, 2009.

For those not familiar with Stephen Johnson, see these posts.

Andrew Dessler is an associate professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at Texas A&M University; his research focuses on the physics of climate change, climate feedbacks in particular.

    asdfOne who is "faith based" has made a decision to give more credence to beliefs than to data.
    It should surprise no one when we elect a faith based president we get an administration that puts religious (and political) beliefs and goals ahead of what facts tell us.  
    Don't you suspect the Founding Fathers understood this?  Isn't it likely that was a big reason for attempting to separate church and state?
