- algaeturd, on 12/11/2008, -7/+189This administration is responsible for the deaths of literally hundreds of thousands of innocent people. Do you really think they give a ***** about animals? Really?
- wrobson, on 12/11/2008, -8/+160Does this guy do anything good?
- socialpyramid, on 12/11/2008, -7/+145Scientists? We don't need no stinkin scientists around here. --Bushies
- fugazied, on 12/11/2008, -7/+103This will make Palin happy.
- Verdavivo, on 12/12/2008, -5/+78Bush's legacy - what an ass.
- inactive, on 12/11/2008, -2/+69Can Obama just fix this with a stroke of his pen? That's what I've never understood about these last minute orders... is there any reason why the next president doesn't just reverse this stuff?
- skoubydoo, on 12/12/2008, -2/+55Dear Bush,
GO AWAY! - GrigoriSom, on 12/12/2008, -2/+51No.
- inactive, on 12/11/2008, -3/+47All Obama has to do is reverse this. The question is will he do it.
- MacBookForMe, on 12/11/2008, -10/+49"This action eviscerates key protections that have helped safeguard and recover endangered fish, wildlife and plants for the past 35 years," said John Kostyack, Executive Director of Wildlife and Global Warming for the National Wildlife Federation.
- maddvibe, on 12/11/2008, -4/+42Can't wait until this administration is out! Thank goodness that is right around the corner.
- TBombadil, on 12/12/2008, -1/+36I'm so pissed that pretzel didn't finish this ***** off. He really is a monster.
- ObtuseGoose, on 12/12/2008, -2/+37Worst. President. Ever.
'nuf said. - inactive, on 12/12/2008, -3/+38bush is a true piece of *****!
- amyjane1, on 12/12/2008, -2/+36I'm sure she's polishing up her guns right now...warming up the helicopter...
- kristinsj, on 12/12/2008, -6/+38The Endangered Species Act isn't about telling states what to do. It's about providing some overarching protections for our ecosystems. Fish and wildlife don't live in states.
- stephhicks68, on 12/12/2008, -1/+31Seriously! What is he thinking!!! Jan. 20 cannot come soon enough.
- SmilinChris, on 12/12/2008, -0/+27...and then he drove to my house and kicked my dog. :(
- TyrannousDotNet, on 12/12/2008, -1/+26YAY! no more endangered species!!!....wait.
*****. - ChuckDees, on 12/12/2008, -3/+28Cant "God" just say abracadabra and make some more animals?
- mizzaxx, on 12/12/2008, -2/+26If you think about it, though, it's important to have a broad governance on these things... Many species migrate, and if they're endangered in one state and migrate to another, they could then be hunted.
- inactive, on 12/12/2008, -2/+26Have I mentioned yet tonight how much I hate these people?
- dupswapdrop, on 12/12/2008, -3/+25George Bush the biggest A-hole in all of history!
- tgc1, on 12/12/2008, -1/+23Yeah, when he's sleeping he can't ***** anything up.
- humanstruggle, on 12/12/2008, -6/+28Why do we let this guy continue to eff our country in the a?
- tbhurst, on 12/11/2008, -8/+29Dugg for using eviscerates (among other reasons).
- bchristie, on 12/12/2008, -2/+21Another win for the "moral majority."
What a joke. - RickyBarnes1960, on 12/12/2008, -4/+21The thing about living organisms in general is, once a life is gone it is gone. Even though new life is similar to what came before it, each life is unique, priceless and, of course, irreplaceable. In light of that truth, the default position in environmental and species protections ought to be more than we need rather than less. If we put our own progress as a species at risk, it seems likely the reward for doing so is still greater than pressing forward at full steam. There is a good argument for putting the burdens of our own needs on ourselves rather than always onto the environment. It always seems true that, no matter how great our need of the resources of the Earth's environment, the need for a hands-off approach or, in the least, a very gentle-handed approach to the environment is greater.
One thing is certain, scientific conclusions ought not ultimately depend on the direction of popular opinion. There is no "majority rule" in fact and consistent logic. Those are standards not dependent on what one "feels" is true or on what is most popularly held to be true. In science, at least ideally, a thing is either true or it is not quite independent of one's wishes. Scientific conclusions also ought not be dependent on policy or political winds. As so many have observed, the style of thinking characteristic of the U.S. presidential administration of the last eight years has been one that doesn't seem to value authentic fact and consistent logic - science, but rather what is the most politically expedient. All in all, the Bush administration's abysmal disrespect for rational science - a symptom of cultural trends we are hopefully escaping - presents an opportunity for the next administration to build quite a reputation by showing its respect for what is true over what is not, its deep regard for consistent reason opposed to irrationality, and a competence for cleaning up the messes of others while still making profound progress in the development of U.S. culture and of the species in general. We ought to thank the previous administration for the opportunity to illustrate the "right stuff" of better thinking and better action.
Of course, it will be an awful disaster if the new administration perpetuates the cultural disregard for authentic truth and good reasoning. We shall see. - jdmiday, on 12/12/2008, -2/+18'Independent scientists'. Fixed that for you.
If you'd like, I'm sure some 'Bushies' could find some 'Independent scientists' to corroborate Intelligent Design and the lack of climate change.
/Dick Fingers - hbyrne, on 12/12/2008, -5/+20No surprise here. This is going to be a looong holiday season with the nincompoop still running the country.
- IAmTheGuy, on 12/12/2008, -0/+15Then Cheney would have been in office. Granted he probably wouldn't have gotten reelected, but those two years would have been awful.
- Sconathon, on 12/12/2008, -1/+16You're right about that. We should get rid of medicine while we're at it. Only the strong should survive.
- TBombadil, on 12/12/2008, -5/+19yeah dude, have you any idea how many Iraqis have died?
- SuperZero111, on 12/12/2008, -3/+17One bridge > entire population of rare frog?
- inactive, on 12/12/2008, -2/+15palin is a moron.
- lordbeaker, on 12/12/2008, -0/+13Some can be reversed right away and some can take years to undue. It doesn't matter to the ones popping in the last minute orders as they get paid regardless of the outcome.
- SawButter, on 12/12/2008, -2/+15Dear Bush,
GO TO JAIL! - jdmiday, on 12/12/2008, -0/+12He must work out...
- locojones, on 12/12/2008, -0/+11A new administration could freeze pending rules. But if the regulation is final before the next president takes office, reversing it would require going through the review and public comment period again, which could take months and sometimes requires years.
- StrangeFamous, on 12/12/2008, -6/+17Well said. Nature needs all the help and representation it can get.
- Chompy, on 12/12/2008, -2/+13Meh, Obama's going to be in office in 39 days. He's gonna be all CONTROL-Z on this nonsense.
- jeffbw, on 12/12/2008, -0/+10Because Nancy Pelosi is a member of his club. For centuries people are going to wonder how this slime got into power, and then they will be all the more astonished at the fact that he was allowed to remain in power despite disaster after disaster after disaster.
- DeFex, on 12/12/2008, -0/+10they did a long time ago. now they work for the corporations.
- PhantomPhoenix, on 12/12/2008, -0/+10That dastardly fiend!
- 2of8, on 12/12/2008, -2/+12About the source: I don't have the time to find a primary source right now, but at Wikipedia, the number of casualties is at 221,732 worldwide (scroll to the bottom)

/noone will get that, and I won't care. - method7670, on 12/12/2008, -0/+9Next up the EPA will get the axe.
- cridz7, on 12/12/2008, -4/+13You, sir, are foolish.
