Via The Hill:

A former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official who resigned earlier this year for comparing his work to crucifixion has found new employment with a leading green group.
The Sierra Club on Friday announced that Al Armendariz would be joining the groupโ€™s โ€œBeyond Coalโ€ campaign next month as a senior representative.
โ€œAs a third generation Texan, Iโ€™m proud to be taking on this new role to help protect Texas,โ€ Armendariz said in a statement released by Sierra Club.
Armendariz stepped down as EPAโ€™s Region 6 administrator in April after a video surfaced of him comparing his work enforcing of environmental laws to the way ancient Roman conquerors used terror to keep order.
โ€œIt is kind of like how the Romans used to conquer the villages in the Mediterranean โ€” theyโ€™d go into a little Turkish town somewhere and theyโ€™d find the first five guys they saw and theyโ€™d crucify them. Then that town was really easy to manage for the next few years,โ€ Armendariz said during a 2010 meeting in Texasโ€ฆ
