WASHINGTON D.C. - In a shocking turn of events, a manatee has been mistakenly elected as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency. The mix-up occurred when a clerical error led to the sea creature's name being included on the ballot. Despite protests and confusion, the manatee has taken office and is already making waves with its unique approach to environmental protection.
Upon being sworn in, the manatee, affectionately named "Manny the Manatee," made a bold promise to provide seaweed for all. In a press conference, Manny declared, "Seaweed is a vital resource for our oceans and I believe that every living creature should have access to it. I will ensure that seaweed is distributed fairly and equitably to all marine life."
While some are skeptical of Manny's ability to lead the EPA, others are embracing the change with open arms. Environmental activists have praised the manatee for its dedication to marine conservation and its commitment to promoting seaweed as a sustainable food source.
However, critics have raised concerns about Manny's lack of experience in environmental policy and his inability to communicate effectively with humans. One political commentator quipped, "I'm all for diversity in leadership, but I'm not sure a manatee is the best choice to head the EPA. How will he even sign executive orders with those flippers?"
Despite the controversy surrounding Manny's appointment, the manatee remains steadfast in his mission to protect the environment and ensure a seaweed-filled future for all. Only time will tell if Manny's unconventional leadership style will be a success or a flop, but one thing is for certain - the world of environmental protection has never been more interesting.
