"I agree with your premise, Bookworm; it will be interesting to see who raises what concerns about this appointment."
Ummm....bookworm's 'premise' was to rub this cabinet choice in the noses of liberals that he believes to be uniformly a bunch of granola-eating, Prius-driving, pot-smoking, welfare-taking losers.
Yes, this is an interesting choice, but why bother responding to a closed-minded ideologue like bookworm?

REI runs the department of the Interior?
Does this mean I can return a half eaten pizza at the patio for a full refund now?

Good one! I guess what I really care about now is that there be no change in the Golden Age Passport (or, as jstan calls it, the "Golden Turkey"), since I'm only a few months away from mine.
By the way, the reason I didn't comment about this on the political thread, the way I usually do, is because the identity of the Secretary of the Interior should matter to climbers generally, not merely to those who thrive on political "discussions."

Hey, bookworm, what planet does this thing called Hannity live on? I can't get it here on Earth. Can you beam it down? Or send it with Ron the next time he's coming our way.

Hey TM Jesse,
Maybe she'll help open our National Parks to more Americans rather than lock them up as scientific relics fenced off to visitors.
what the fuk dude a few weeks ago yer all for keeping a few Pt. Townsend local climbers from climbin on some piece of crap front country rock with a trailer park below it, due to native American interests. Yet, on the other hand you want to open the national park system’s backcountry to every obese Winnebago clad ermerican?
Please explain?

Well, you think Big Jim hauled Bobby's azz up Mt Kennedy for nothing?
OK, let me rephrase that: do you think Big Jim got George Senner, Bill Prater,
Dee Molenaar, and Barry Prather to haul Bobby's azz up there for nothing?

Bruce Babbitt was pretty good. this nominee is lackluster and yet another enviro-disappointment from this presidency.

ms55401, did you read that long article posted above? She doesn't sound half bad. Her heart seems to be in the right place, I just hope she has the political skills and deep knowledge of resource management and land laws needed for this position.

Apparently, and pathetically, Repugs can't find much to criticize in the qualifications of this Cabinet pick, so all they have left is to try and criticize liberals on a pick they actually support. The very definition of partisan politics.

As an REI vendor since 1994 or so, I do know that the old purchasing agents have been replaced by IBM-Sterling, which does the whole buy/sell thing electronically. However, there have been many, many problems with the software and its operation. For example, about two weeks ago the automated invoicing system broke down for a few days. Now, whether or not REI farmed out their purchasing department in order to be able to fire their purchasing agents is unknown to me at this time. Another good question is whether or not the Sterling system was set up to leverage the small vendors out of the REI family? Sometimes if you're paranoid enough, you begin to detect evil intentions where there is merely technical dysfunction. All I know is that since 1994 there's never been any problems for me doing business with REI, not until this new software ordering and invoicing system was implemented a little over a year ago. These changes certainly do indicate the emergence of a less folksy, more corporate REI.
