I 
was quite pleased with the results of yesterday’s elections in the US, but one race I was quite interested in wasn’t decided until today, when it was announced that seven-term Representative Richard Pombo had lost to challenger Jerry McNerney. I don’t live in Pombo’s district, and I don’t know much about McNerney, but I do know this: Richard Pombo hates the environment.
I don’t mean that the greasy little weasel (with links to Jack Abramoff, of course) doesn’t care about the environment, like, say, the President. I mean that he hates it like it broke into his house and stole his Bible, and he seems to consider it his personal mission in life to attack the environment whenever possible. This is the guy who once proposed selling off National Parks. (His staff also tried to scrub references to Pombo-Abramoff links from Wikipedia, which is amusing and typically Pombo.)
Suck on your defeat, Pombo. Suck on it good and long. I hope a tree decides to fall on you.

Ah, Pombo. Living far, far away from the magical world of California, I’ve not had to endure any direct impact from his negligence, but I remember having a good laugh some time back when it was reported that he had paid members of his staff actively monitoring the Wikipedia article concerning him and “cleaning up” any negative information.
I don’t know anything about this McNerney fellow, though it looks like he’s an engineer, and I’m all for technocrats, so up with Jerry.

Goodbye, good luck, lose forty pounds (maybe fifty), lose the ’stache (you look cheesy and sleazy, bro’), try the county commission, maybe dog catcher, get a real estate license, and thanks for all the fish.

Maybe a course on political science at the community college? “Endangered Species and the Political Process,” JC101. Twenty five hundred bucks.
