- absurdist, on 11/27/2008, -4/+31January can't come soon enough. Bush can still do a hell of a lot of damage in the time he has left.
- captainsky, on 11/26/2008, -5/+28Ridiculous!
- Swift2, on 11/27/2008, -5/+23Jail would be too good for this sociopathic president -- worst president ever.
- localzuk, on 11/27/2008, -0/+17What a bizarrely named organisation, they are called the 'Environment Protection Agency', yet they are continually fighting to allow greater levels of pollution...
- buddamus, on 11/27/2008, -4/+17Its all about money, you let me pump Co2 into the air, I will accidentally leave a large sack of money on your desk
- Dralha, on 11/27/2008, -0/+13The political objective of all this is to ***** things up as much as possible for obama and the democrats. That way, it'll be harder for them to salvage America from the disaster called the republican party.
- maxmorris, on 11/27/2008, -2/+14Whats the use of an institution like EPA if they (maybe) make decisions like these??
- apastafarian, on 11/27/2008, -4/+15MY name is Bush and I am the bringer of death!
- denizen42, on 11/27/2008, -2/+13Indeed.... sociopath to the last drop!
- nosecohn, on 11/27/2008, -0/+9We've got all these businesses, lobbyists and other narrow interests wanting to relax environmental restrictions for personal gain, and the only thing standing in their way is the EPA. Why in the world would they want to relax the rules? Could it be that "Environmental Protection" isn't really their agenda???
- inactive, on 11/27/2008, -0/+9I hope that either you live on the coast, so your house floods, or that you have a farm who's crops will fail and die spectacularly in the next few decades.
- Rockkybox, on 11/27/2008, -1/+8In the earth's mantle
- Rockkybox, on 11/27/2008, -0/+7Haha I love the way everyone's using sociopathic now
- DatDudeWiggs, on 11/27/2008, -4/+11Nuclear power FTW!
- secrity, on 11/27/2008, -1/+7This administration is acting like white trash who ***** up the inside of the trailer just before they move out.
- inactive, on 11/27/2008, -0/+6I wasn't aware that the air was theirs to pollute.
- Swift2, on 11/27/2008, -0/+5Oh, Pierce was a disaster, and Buchanan, and Johnson after Lincoln -- but they were, I think, swept up by very large forces. Bush and his cronies didn't have to do what they did. They didn't have to abolish the 4th amendment, or abnegate the Geneva treaties -- which were passed by the Senate, so they're our laws -- and he didn't have to commit aggressive war in Iraq with a subterfuge of lies. Gee, torture and invasion, spying on the populace without warrants or probable cause. He's right up there in with the wicked ones -- oh, and can we forget that he's brought us right to the abyss of a terrible Depression? Add that in, and he's in a class of his own.
It's academic, of course. Whether he's worse than Pierce or Buchanan or Harding or Hoover is great material for college bull sessions. I think the moral, military and economic disasters on his watch put him in a class of his own. - 2of8, on 11/27/2008, -4/+8Stupid, stupid, stupid. Please stop.
- nmessick, on 11/27/2008, -0/+4Are you people Idiots! Did you even read the article before posting your ECO crap! All they are doing is okaying allowing power companies to operate a few extra hours a day to meet the demand for electricity thats not being met because we refuse to build more power plants. How about brown-outs... thats a great idea... you'd all find a way to blame someone else for that too. The plants won't emit anything they are not emiting now. Your own stupidity is why your cause is not taken seriously.
- inactive, on 11/27/2008, -0/+4Oh, my mistake. I guess, then, since the air is no one's to be policed, you won't mind me pumping cyanide gas into your room while you sleep. I suppose it could technically be construed as murder, but I'm sure the judge will let me off when I explain to him that I was merely pouring chemicals in the air, which, as you've made it clear, no one has the right to police, and your untimely death was just an unfortunate side-effect of my actions.
- bsmang, on 11/27/2008, -0/+4I really hope that jizz ends up in jail, forever.

Look out world, Dubya is managing to be almost as much as an ***** in the transition period as he was in the other 8 years. - Rockkybox, on 11/27/2008, -0/+3I wouldn't be so annoyed if you copied one of my comments sometime, feeling left out; wait is this a person or just a script?

http://www.bearhaven.com/family/cousin/barbara.htm ... - theenmachine, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2I'm no eco-geek, but it's plain to even me the EPA is trying to legally legitimize what they are arguing is a language loophole, which is counter-intuitive with the whole 'protection' aspect of the EPA's original purpose to begin with and why people here are calling them on it. It's hypocrisy, and the benefits finger points blatantly at dirty energy-producing companies who would escape expensive mods and emit more tons per year. There are reasons for emissions limits. Bad for companies but good for people.
- fiatjustitia, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2Finalreminder, just because it doesn't affect you in the particular region you live in doesn't give you an excuse not to care about it.
Lung cancer rates in areas with high pollution are markedly higher than regions that don't have as much pollution. I know you think it's cute to say ***** to "piss off hippies" but people are dying from lung cancer because of this, and it's not cool. - tylerjames, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2It's certainly Orwellian, isn't it?
Keep quiet about it though, or they'll send you to the Ministry of Love - freediverx, on 11/27/2008, -5/+7Sooo, where are we storing all the nuclear waste?
- waldo21, on 11/28/2008, -0/+2Did you even read the article?? It doesn't even address CO2.
By the way CO2 is NOT air pollution... - DarthPoo, on 11/27/2008, -1/+3Dammit, do you want electricity or not?
- DarthPoo, on 11/27/2008, -0/+2Maintaining their bureaucracy is their agenda.
- theenmachine, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1It's been China's strategy for years.
- rkymtnwoman, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1brownoutsmmmm
remember when CA had all those terrible brownouts that summer that pissed em off bad enough to dump Gov Davis and do a special election? And then Ahnold the son of the nazi brownshirt was thrown in there with all those 150 loons running for Gov? Ahnold the son of the nazibrownshirt who makes God delusion movies about himself didn't seem such an unreasonable choice, did he?
I wonder if you in CA realize that Ken Lay- Bush's best pal was CEO of the energy company at that time? And did you know that employees have actually admitted the brownouts were fabricated? And I wonder, have you had anymore of those terrible rolling brownouts since Ahnold managed to get into office? - nmessick, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1Its Ridiculous that you posted... did you even read the article. If you did you'd understand that the headline is really totally misleading with whats actually happening.
- Witchdoktor, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1Tragedy of the Commons....
- Dszerox, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1Nah nah nah, we take the waste, make munitions and then fire those munitions at people in other countries, problem solved! Yay government!
- liquisoft, on 11/27/2008, -0/+1I don't see the logic behind a lot of these decisions. Is it some weird attempt to support the economy by allowing companies to pollute more and thus cut costs?
- mos6507, on 11/28/2008, -0/+1You mean redonculous.
- nydwarf, on 11/29/2008, -1/+1"Throughout his presidency, George W. Bush has sought to weaken the traditional regulatory authority of many federal agencies — like the Food and Drug Admin. and Consumer Product Safety Commission — to make them more friendly to business. This anti-regulatory stand has had perhaps its most sweeping effect on the EPA." - What about the anti regulatory stance that shot the economy to *****?
- rkymtnwoman, on 11/28/2008, -0/+0Oh, here is another cutie
Bush is coming to Texas to open a "Freedom Center" LMAO!! in Dallas:
It will feature a "rendition" entry that swoops you off to the "family fun hands on torture is not torture it's fun" room with sexual humiliation, sodomy with various instruments, naked pyramids, dogs and electrical instruments on genitalia, and waterboarding for the kids.
Another room will have giant shredders for the Constitution and Bill of Rights- shred your own
And another "twisted Christian" room with Palin witch trials, K K K making robo calls for the GOP and singing Amazing Grace, Pat Robertson pancakes, earphones with "God is speaking to me directly and telling me what to do to hurt you and start wars", the Westboro Baptist signmaking area, Mormon FBI patriot oppresser and COINTELPRO duty to country while wearing special undies, NSA voyeurism room, domestic terrorism room, Faux propaganda room, Hagee- Jesus needs a special landing pad to come back so we need to launch nukes to keep it safe room"
Bring the family for some Orwellian fun! - inactive, on 11/27/2008, -2/+2Problem is, Obama won't do it, because he needs the support of Republicans in congress. Howeer, if he had reached 60...BANHAMMER
- rkymtnwoman, on 11/28/2008, -0/+0we need to rename that joke the Environmental Destruction Agency- EDA
Bush will go down in history as President Destructo
and other names not mentionable here
people that call themselves Americans and voted for him should be arrested for stupid
The Gang Of Psychopaths have been lying for 35 years and I stupidly voted for ones that said, "Vote for me, I'm getting us off Mideast Oil" what a fool I was. NEVER AGAIN - DarthPoo, on 11/27/2008, -2/+1I wasn't aware that the air was theirs to police.
- bennythebuff, on 11/27/2008, -1/+0Where's Walter Peck when you need him?!
- duffahtolla, on 11/27/2008, -1/+0It isn't the EPA, it's Bush's appointee who heads the agency.
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/23/epa-california ... --
"[Head of EPA Stephen L. ] Johnson’s decision to overrule his staff follows a trend by President Bush’s political appointees to put politics over science. In 2003, for example, FDA Commissioner Lester Crawford decided to block over-the-counter access to the morning-after pill, despite recommendations by the agency’s scientists. Career professionals at the Justice Department who advised rejecting Georgia’s discriminatory voter ID law were also overruled by the department’s political appointees."
Bush has appointed over 3000 cronies in every high level position possible. Give Obama some time to rout them out. - Finalreminder, on 11/27/2008, -2/+1I live on a hill. And the farm's are doing fine thanks.
- user500, on 11/27/2008, -7/+4about time bush did some good, maybe his best policy ever?
- palehorse864, on 11/27/2008, -7/+1Dunno, Franklin Pierce was likely worse. Plus, there is the factor that the guy in present memory is going to be the only one people really think about too much.
- digdug135, on 11/27/2008, -9/+2Sounds like a good idea.
