Some new houses

If you look at the blog directly below this one, you'll see the new 'house' that we've built at WKTI with our new studios. Out on the LipsYard back patio, a Robin has been very busy building its new 'house.'

Repeatedly singled out for meddling, was the White House Office of Management and Budget. Topics of controversy include the watering down of climate change documents, industry language being inserted into EPA power-plant regulations, and scientific advisory panels' coclusions about toxic chemicals going unheeded.
