Fools The Rule Us Reprise

Richard Windsor received the Scholar of Ethical Behavior certificate from the Environmental Protection Agency for 2010, 2011, 2012 based on his email conversations with environmental activists and Obama administration officials.

He also was certified for completion of training courses in the management of e-mail records, cyber-security awareness, and a counter-terror initiative that urges federal employees to report suspicious activity.

He doesn’t exist. It was an alias that Lisa Jackson, former head of the EPA and now an environmental adviser to Apple, used.

What kind of bizarre ego would a leader have to allow the awarding of such honors to her pseudonym?

It certainly reveals the value of having an EPA certificate of cyber-security awareness. It seems that the standards they have for “ethical behavior”are based on agreeing with the boss.

Mailbox Will Be Back On Brookside Road

The mailbox that had long graced Brookside Road in Springfield, Delaware County, is just temporarily gone.

According to the Lansdowne Post Office that now oversees Springfield mail delivery, the box will be returned to  “near the stores” but not to its original place in front of the former post office building.

Hep C, Hipsters And Tats

Hep C, Hipsters And Tats — A recent article in the New England Journal of Medicine estimated that the number of people in the United States infected with the  Hepatitis C virus is between 3.2 and 3.5 million.

The disease may go for years without  symptoms but if left untreated
producse chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and cancer. About 85 percent
of people infected with the virus develop such things. Hep C, Hipsters And Tats

And what are the primary causes of the disease? Intravenous abuse of drugs and tattooing.

Just something to consider when making unforced lifestyle choices.

Hat tip Dr. Theodore Dalrymple.
