Speaking of the EPA, Brad Plumer passes along a Philly Inky profile of Stephen Johnson, the Gaius Baltar–esque head the EPA, appointed by President Bush in 2005. For more tales of incompetence that will astound and amaze you, read Plumer's survey of the scene at Interior and the job cut out for incoming Secretary Ken Salazar.
Bonus environment feature! Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees" performed by Radiohead's Phil Selway and Ed O'Brian with up-and-comer Liam Finn and artists-who-need-no-introduction Johnny Marr and Jeff Tweedy. Sounds nice!
