Arianna has another update on the safety of our mines. It turns out that Richard Stickler, the Mine Safety Czar (aka Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health), could not get confirmed by the Senate (twice!) when it was in Republican control because of his poor record in mine safety. An industry executive, and not a mine safety expert, Bush went around the Senate and appointed him anyway in a "recess appointment" when Congress was out of town.
Worst. President. Ever.
