Acrid Opinion #6,573,492 : That James Watt bears a striking resemblance to the south end of a north-bound horse is no coincidence; Ronnie "if-you've seen-one-redwood-you've-seen-them-all " Reagan deliberately appointed Watt for the express purpose of needling the environmentalists and anyone else with an I.Q. over 50.

#R:hou2a:-13200:uicsl:16300020:000:415 uicsl!preece Oct 3 10:27:00 1983 I have a theory: Presidents hate to do anything that looks like bowing to pressure. If he kept his nose clean for a couple of months the President would be able to get rid of the embarrassment without acknowledging being embarrassed. James Watt knows this, so he goes out at regular intervals and does something outrageous so that the President has to not fire him again. scott preece pur-ee!uiucdcs!uicsl!preece
