(The Best Years in Life) Newly released documents and emails from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) show the agency's top commissioners directed staff to lower radiation test results for years in defiance of federal EPA rules. In addition, the state officials and the EPA knew about the agency violations but choose to take little or no action.

    • [[The picture, above, is from TERRA, and of the Salton Sea in Southern California. It shows the extent of the eutrophication-fed algea blooms--and the attendant fish die-offs-- that occur in the Sea. There is no outlet to the Sea, and it has, for decades, received the fertilizer and pesticide-laden run-off from the surrounding Imperial Valley agricultural enterprises.]]

      They're having a record drought now in Texas. An LATimes article about it said that one farmer said the previous year he had drilled four new wells and they all dried up before the year was out. (!!)

      The aquifer was already in deep trouble years ago, when I was in college, but with this drought and the winds...and with zero concern about the future generations...Texas may become a wasteland.

      And Gov. Perry says he's going to run for the presidency in 2012.
