My only issue with RFK, Jr., is his anti-vaccination opinions on autism.
Oh, lord, really? That's disturbing and disappointing.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I don't see that as relevant to the EPA. I might quibble with him about wind farms on Cape Cod but otherwise I think his work with the Natural Resources Defense Council is solid.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
My only issue with RFK, Jr., is his anti-vaccination opinions on autism. He might not be too bad as EPA head, though.
Personally, I think his radical anti-vac stance (and basic lack of scientific comprehension it indicates) makes him disqualified for any position related to public health, EPA head included.

Last night I as I was falling asleep, I started to wonder if Nate Silver is going to predict the fall of the Galactic Empire, and if he will plant the seeds for the next empire to take its place.

I suppose he's too old, but I wish we could have Bob Bergland [link] back as agriculture secretary. He was great -- anti-big agriculture, hardworking, willing to speak unpleasant truths and pretty funny. (Okay, I once had a crush on the Secretary of Agriculture.)
As Jessica says, the problem with an anti-vaccination stance shows a basic lack of understanding about how science works, which is scary in almost any major government position.

Perzactly. And he also called folks who don't believe in global warming "terrorists" and I've had enough of that kind of name calling from my federal officials, thankuverymuch.
