All you ever wanted to know about new EPA head Steve Johnson

"The change in attitude at EPA in recent years, including the naming of [Steve] Johnson as deputy administrator, led the CropLife America Political Action Committee, the political arm of the organization representing crop protection chemical manufacturers, to make its first ever endorsement in a presidential election - in favor of the Bush-Chaney ticket - this year."

From the Delta Farm Press last November. Weird article. It starts out with a long story about how Johnson accidentally walked out of a store with four stereos when he only paid for two, and the store security guard tried to stop him from returning the extra two. The security guard then becomes a metaphor for the "old" EPA. (I wonder: Does chronic exposure to RoundUp affect one's spelling?)
