In this case, it seems pretty obvious Mr. Brown just doesn't have the expertise or experience to head FEMA,
My concern was it would be subsumed in this very unwieldy bureaucratic entity, ... Most people (now) think what happened was what was predicted would happen.
Genuine dialogue, not rhetorical bomb-throwing, leads to progress.
Ranchers need clean water for their stock, farmers need it for their crops, every employer needs it to stay in business, and every living thing needs it for life... The law needs to be clear to protect water quality and the rights of landowners.
I support allowing gay couples to marry because of - not in spite of - my values. And many of those values are the same ones deeply held by those who do not believe in gay marriage.
I brag on the Democratic Party. We're libertarian on social issues, it's live and let live. Fiscally, we're conservative and responsible, and were environmentally conscious.
It's my belief that, like every other American, gay and lesbian couples should be able to make a lifetime commitment to the person they love and protect their families.

Truth be told, I'm much more comfortable in a pair of hiking boots or with a rack of climbing gear than in front of a laptop.
On the mountains mistakes are fatal. In politics, mistakes are wounding emotionally, but you recover. Personally, wilderness helps me get back in touch with natural rhythms, helps me reflect and, in the process, restore my creativity.
We really don't have a policy [on climate change]. There's a lot of rhetoric and not a lot of action.
