From Inside the Beltway: Don't listen to what I say - watch what I do

23. OH

what I meant with the Federal Register was that there are laws he has signed that upset me and his appointments, like Kenny-boy Salazar the ranching Sec of Interior... that really made me upset given what that guy stands for and what he did as Sec. with the president's blessing.

I agree that the Register is a diary of sorts for the Congressional transactions, though. I was just trying to artfully indicate the laws he has signed... mostly involving environmental/wildlife stuff that seems to slip by most everyone in the country unless you live out here where it's in your face all day every day.

It would be nice if "official" entities who come out here for river trips and jaunts through the National Parks actually troubled themselves to inquire about or listen to someone in the know about what they are looking at and why it matters that so many of us here are concerned. Instead they show up with a very large entourage of SUVs and buses running all of us off the road should we happen to be using it at the same time, completely removed from having to be in any kind of communication with we the unwashed locals and leave litter all over the place. Happens more often than one might imagine. It really does color the attitudes of the locals and their political world view since that's what they see when these critters show up on their doorstep. And the offenders are clueless about how they present themselves, which is why we end up with so many stupid policies regarding the wilder places.

Oops, it's warm enough to go outside, I have some errands to run (have to go down the mountain to town), I'll try to get back on soon.
