American Thinker: Rats leaving sinking ship: DOE loses a crony capitalist
With Republicans controlling the House of Representatives and able to subpoena officials, certain Obama administration officials are heading for the hills. The New York Times reports on the latest exodus of Obama appointees. This time the Department of Energy is losing acting Undersecretary of Energy Cathy Zoi:
A trio of top officials, including acting Undersecretary of Energy Cathy Zoi, are stepping down from the Department of Energy, Secretary Steven Chu announced in an agency memo set to be released today.
Zoi, who also serves as assistant secretary for energy efficiency and renewable energy (EERE), will be leaving the agency on March 10 to head to a private-sector post in California.
Who is Cathy Zoi and why would anyone be interested in her career?
She was the “ex-CEO of Al Gore’s Alliance for Climate Protection and, while in government service maintained major investments in “green ” companies that benefited directly from her decisions”, reported Christopher Horner at Pajamas Media back in June, 2010 / . Among those investments, according to Horner are:

It’s only a start.
In Britain, their version of “Mr. Wizard” is being vilified by the global warming activists for his stance on AGW.

Ship should be the “Rainbow Warminger”
Anthony,
Some scientists are going to fight to the bitter end no matter how much it hurts their reputations.
It sounds like Cathy Zoi still has an interest in the green stuff. ;->
they should still subpoena her …
They can run, but they can’t hide.
That the story by Horner never made serious headlines remains a mystery,
but one day they will have to take the stand.
I suspect they don’t want to face House hearings. Waxmans pals are getting a dose of Waxman medicine.
Too much light on the warming hoax and they run.
Dr. Andrew Weaver the lawsuit trigger happy scientist is getting a whiff of global warming today in Victoria, BC: 25cm of SNOW!
http://www.timescolonist.com/technology/Heavy+snowfall+snarls+traffic+closes+schools/4331625/story.html?cid=megadrop_story
By 10:00 they already had 25cm… and
“A snowfall warning remains in effect, calling for accumulations of five to 25 centimetres over the region. Winds will pick up later in the day and, while the temperature is supposed to drop to -3 C, the wind chill could make it feel as cold as -25C.”

it’s a religion of peace and pocketbooks……….
Well I’m all in favor of a review of the conflict of interrest situations in all of those departments; and like enron, some big mucky mucks should do some quality jail time; as well as paying full restitution.
I’m sure plenty of the rats will be furiously polishing the brass hoping it will keep the ship afloat, though.
Any chance of a bigger copy of the image?
The current one looks a little pixelly as my backdrop.
One with “Rainbow Warminger” would be cool too
Top stuff.
p.s.
hope she gets her just desserts. And Gore too, please.
Oh, beaver dam! Does she HAVE to come to California???
President Obama goes from community organizer in Chicago to POTUS (Bill Ayres notwithstanding).
Obama appoints Rahm (no crisis should go to waste) Emanuel as his Chief of Staff.
…..
Obama names Bill Daley (kid brother of current Chicago mayor Richard Daley), as his new Chief of Staff (1/6/2011), after Rahm’s resignation.
Rahm Emanuel elected mayor of Chicago (2/22/2011).
Chicago politics at it’s best, not sure how it will play out on the World stage,
stay tuned.
One can HOPE our POTUS is not in over his head.
I’m afraid for us, Chicago (corrupt) politics may work in a city……..
I wonder what music the band playing…. (Titanic?)
flicka47 – with AB32 still in place California is, alas, just about the last place in the country (aside from maybe a couple postage stamps in the Northeast) where she can still sell her rent-seeking act.
I believe that the band went under playing “Autumn”, if that’s any help
Under Ronald Reagan we had Bob Hope and Johnny Cash.
Under Obama we have no Hope and no Cash.
Has to be the Titanic.
Huge.
“Unsinkable”.
Hit an iceberg.
Pendleton is expecting 4 inches of snow tonight. If this keeps up, the entire area will have to plant WINTER wheat instead of spring wheat. Interspersed with peas to fix nitrogen in the soil. But that is not news. The news is that Portland, the dog that wags the tail of Democrats, is shivering as well. What’s that I hear? A slow drip, drip, drip? That’s Democrats crying about their last vote.

Legend has it they played “Nearer My God to Thee ”
I dunno, I couldn’t get tickets.
Besides Titanic went down by the bow; not the stern.
When I look at wattsupwiththat.com at 8:30 PM EST, 2/23/2011, Al Gore is mentioned in 4 of the stories that are visible on the front page. What an unhealthy obsession! Look, I don’t like the guy either. Never have. I understand that dropping the G-bomb is good for riling up the “there’s no AGW” crowd, but maybe it would do the “skeptic” side some good to focus more on the scientific evidence and less on the personalities.
(And I’m not even talking about the comment sections. I’m just talking about the main bodies and headlines of the stories.)
