"I love the Mississippi Delta. It's where this erstwhile liberal greenie began her education in real-world conservation -- the kind most often tagged 'community-based.' But the voice of the Delta is missing from the environmental-liberal-administration response to the Gulf oil spill, no matter how loud those Cajuns shout. . . . This is what Bill Maher, pipsqueak of righteousness, had to say about it: 'F*** your jobs. . . . " -- speechwriter Joan Chevalier, writing at WashingtonTimes.com.

"[A]ccording to The Huffington Post, Obama's lack of experience is immune from criticism because he attended Ivy League schools, 'was a serious and successful student,' is a well-traveled, published author, and has a diverse background.

"I have known Joan for almost two decades. She possesses immense integrity and courage. She is also a splendid writer. Readers have said this about her: 'A writer of sinewy prose.' 'Wise, funny forceful.' 'Elegant.' 'A breath of fresh air.' 'I shook my head in wonder many times.' A business partner wrote 'Astonishing. It's just not the formidable intellect; it's the grace of spirit and warmth.' Joan knows what it means to "ride for the brand" and does so with unalloyed grit and determination."

"Joan is perhaps the best most perspicacious and acerbic writer on land, natural resource and energy issues in the United States. She is a superb researcher, a discerning analyzer of character and can pinpoint a charlatan a league away. She has a rich sense of humor and understands the market place. In my book she gets 5 stars. I know of only one peer to her talents."
