Cheney is Creepy and I Think He Eats Puppies.
Today’s SF Chronicle lists a front-page article with revelatory– REVELATORY –reporting: proof that Dick Cheney is a Dick. Er, I mean a dick, like as in, wiener. Here’s the quote:
Jason Burnett, a senior official with the EPA who resigned June 9th, charges that Cheney’s office urged him to delete or water down testimony to Congress by top administration officials on the impacts of global warming.
The article uses the old “long suspected, never proven” device to convince us this is news. I am turning into such a cynic, but gawd, is that it? They caught him (his office) urging people? That’s not even illegal. Don’t get me wrong, cause I really, really, really don’t like Dick Cheney, but that’s it? Couldn’t some reporter have opened that secret locker in his office full of dried kitten heads and plans to overthrow the Canadian government if they don’t give us more oil? Couldn’t they have caught him in the act of puppeteering the president into all the revolting foreign policy we now have to undo? 
COULDN’T THEY ARREST HIM FOR THAT HORRID SNEERING SMIRK HE PERPETRATES? Dang. There’s so much to get worked up about with Cheney. I’m sure he did use all his mighty evil-ruler power to thwart global warming policy. I’m sure he’d think it was fine to just live in an oxygen bubble with his rifle and his best buddies while the rest of us shrivel in the rising temperatures. What I want to know is why isn’t there a law against anyone in the EPA following his advice? Who is the real jackass here, the guy who tries to hide the truth? Or the guy who obeys?
Oh, How We Need Bush to Leave Office
Greenhouse, greenhouse, greenhouse. Gases, gases gases. The loveliness just keeps rolling in. I voted for Ah-nold. I am mostly a democrat, something of a libertarian, but I voted for Schwartzenegger and I’m proud because the man has held up his end of the deal, at least where it comes to environmental policy. The Bush administration, et al, is just tearing the last of the flesh from the decimated environmental laws with this new federal proposal. This morning’s paper illustrated the underhanded pro-oil, pro-car manufacturers stance of the Bush jackasses:
Tucked deep into a 417-page “Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” was language by the Transportation Department stating that more stringent limits on tailpipe emissions embraced by California and 17 other states are “an obstacle to the accomplishment” of the new federal standards and are “expressly and impliedly preempted” by federal law.
California is already suing the federal government (EPA) for the right to implement tougher emission standards. Hello conservative Republicans?? Get on this guy! Remember the Tenth Amendment?
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
California has led the way on environmental legislation for decades. The Bush Administration continues to the desperate end in their pursuit of extraordinary federal and executive control. Guess what Bushies?? The country belongs to the people. And California belongs to its forward thinking residents.
