Where do they get these ideas?

Mr. President,
Yesterday, Deputy Treasury Secretary Robert Kimmitt used your tactic of laws-are-made-to-be-broken if I-said-so routine.
The UAE port sale required a 45-day review of the Dubai ports deal. According to the Senator who drafted the bill, it is mandatory and yet Kimmit continued to claimed "We didn't ignore the law," "We might interpret it differently." and finally "We do not see it as mandatory." You are just such a shining beacon for so many people to follow junior. The phrase "The means just the ends because I know best" must be carved on the West Wing walls.
Would you let a snake watch your hamsters junior? I didn't think so. So why would you let the steel, aerospace and electroplating industries set the carcinogenic limit for the pollutant they generate called hexavalent chromium? Hexavalent chromium is the chemical pollutant that made Erin Brockovich famous.
I'm hearing there was a little hanky-panky with the numbers the Chromium Coalition collected, analyzed and distributed. The numbers were only collected from newer plants. The statistical calculations were manipulated. And the reports were hidden.
You know what they say about statistics junior? They say figures don't lie, but liars can figure. Now a federal court is forcing OSHA has to back peddle and pretend they care about pursuing the health of factory workers.
According to the Reuter's article, David Michaels, who heads the project on scientific knowledge and public policy at George Washington University and was a senior author of the report that exposed the issued, hopes something good could come out of this.
"I'm hoping that the entire system rethinks the role of industry in providing scientific data," he said. "I'd like to see rules that say ... if industry participates in regulatory proceedings, they have an obligation to provide all relevant data, not just the data that supports their position," said Michaels.
Where would somebody get the idea that information should be "cherry-picked" to solely support their position junior?
"Don't fly with me"
Condi's boyfriend Hugo Chavez has a long memory. He remembered how the FAA canceled Venezuelan flights 10 years ago. According to UPI Hugo wants to prohibit Continental, Delta and some American Airlines flights from flying into or out of his country. Can you get Condi to send him a belated Valentine's gift? I know he is kind of sweet on her.

Thank you again for taking the time to write.
