Thank you for making the world a worse place to live in. Dick.
White House played role in smog rule
The Environmental Protection Agency agreed to weaken a key section of its new smog requirements announced this week after being told at the last minute that President Bush preferred a less stringent approach, according to government documents.
The documents depict a series of tense exchanges between the EPA and the White House Office of Management and Budget during the days before the new smog air quality standard was announced Wednesday.
Changes directed by the White House were inserted into the smog regulation only hours before it was issued with the late flurry of activity forcing the EPA to delay the announcement for five hours...

No, no, Dick is the VICE-President. ;)
Is it just me, or does Bush greatly resemble Pat Robertson in that photo Moxie posted?
As always in posts like this, I enjoy the way Moxie's cartoon alter-ego seems to be looking with utter contempt at the republican bastard(s) in the accompanying photo. Standing ovation for Moxie's avatar!
On a related note: for those interested, here's The A to Z Guide to Political Interference in Science, at the Union of Concerned Scientists website.
I love that graphic.
My friend and I were discussing the fact that we wanted to punch him just the other day. Sad, really, we've both lived through at least 8 presidents and we never wanted to PUNCH any of them.
Thanks nunya. Really I saw that photo and all I could think was "Wow, he's got a really punchable face."
I love all the hate on this site, almost as much as I hate the environment. My motto:"Suck the planet dry,have a blast!"
Hey thanks for the great blog, I love this stuff. I don’t usually read much into politics but with the election coming up (not to mention the dem primaries) and everyone going green these days I thought I would leave a comment.
I am trying to find more about the government and if they are going to ratify the Kyoto Protocol any time soon. Has anyone seen this pole on EarthLab.com http://www.earthlab.com/life.aspx . It said 75% of people think the government should ratify the Kyoto Protocol on Earth Day (when I took it). I also saw something on Wikipedia but it wasn’t up to date. Any other thoughts on where the government is going with this?
I am looking for more info on what candidates’ opinions are how are we are going to get closer to solutions. Drop a link of you see anything worth my time.
