(How can I not promote this? Here we have a candidate for office talking straight, talking forcefully, and speaking the truth on a subject that has become sine qua non at LO. Can't you just hear this kind of non-parsed language from the floor of the US Senate? Take it to Gordo, Steve! - promoted by torridjoe)
Gordon Smith's recent remarks on the Klamath fish kill underscore a persistent theme. Gordon Smith doesn't take facts seriously. He doesn't take science seriously. And ultimately, he doesn't take his job seriously.
Smith said that the fish kill occurred 18 months after the water diversion - when it was actually only six months later. He said there was no evidence that the water diversion caused the fish kill - ignoring the study by the California Department of Fish and Game.
