If the giant comet comes and wipes us all out, that would be acceptable. Almost liberal in it's tolerance for mother Gaia.

These environmentalists have stood in the way of so much commerce, it's amazing we're not in a major depression. Kudos to the Bush administration.

Methinks you are spending too much time in the pub, my friend.

Yes, those environmentalists have so much power and influence when compared with giant multi-national corporations!

Thanks for the laugh!

In the center box (Comment or submission) type "Endangered Species". As of this writing, the top returned find is "Interagency Cooperation Under the Endangered Species Act". If you wish, read the document and how agencies find it "burdensome" and that there is "conflict" between agencies. Poor poor dears.

Now, click the little comment ballon (very small, you can almost overlook it) to see a discouragingly long form with lots of required fields so as to discourage response. (You are also advised that you can post a letter (which is what I'll probably do) to: Public Comment Processing, Attention: 1018-AT50, Division of Policy and Directives Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 4401 North Fairfax Drive, Suite 222, Arlington, VA 22203

Paradox, thank you for keeping score. I don't have the brain storage-capacity for the volume of Bush corruption and chicanery we’ve been served.

And you are right. It's hard to work up a good head of steam anymore. Ya know, the Republicans are coming to town soon and I'm trying to decide whether to tote my signs to St. Paul and protest. The reason I can't decide is I don't know what it is I'm protesting anymore. Everything? Their very existence?

I’ve been to every rally and signed every petition (protesting the items on your list and more). I’ve written countless letters-to-the-editor and put my representatives on speed dial.

…like so many other Americans.

But what have we accomplished? What have we prevented? Forgive my cynicism (and I do reserve a little bit of ‘yes-we-can’ hope) but it’s all for shit.

This last move by the Chimp and his henchmen and women does not surprise me in the least. Since when has this man-child done anything that did not enrich his base, expand the powers of the president, subvert scientific reports, or weaken environmental regulations?

I say Bushie is the worst president in the history of the United States not because of his disaterous foreign policy, but because he has no respect for the rule of law or the will of the people. Heck, he has no respect for life outside of his immediate family.

All Chimpy cares about are his corporate masters and the 28% who would follow him off a cliff into Hell.

Worse it yet to come. The very last moves of the Bush Administration will be to transfer all the gold in Fort Knox to the Bush family compound in Dubai, then to set the original version of the Constitution on fire after Cheney wipes his ass on it, and then to burn down the White House on their way out.

Bush: the anti-Midas.

Bush the anti-Midas. That's perfect, because everything he touches turns to shit.

I can only thank FAOIFAOI and repeat the offering. Please, please write. Remember every moment of grandeur and humility a wild animal ever inspired in you, hold your soul open, and please write to oppose this heinous legislation.

Spend the energy of grief or outrage in contacting your representatives there and HERE:

We are all part of an interdependent web. It can be torn beyond mending. But it's not yet. We can make the difference.

Dear Division of Policy and Directives Management:

I am appalled by the proposed legislation that would deny the protection of objective scientific knowledge to endangered species. People of all political persuasions can agree that it is morally wrong to sidestep our obligation to be better stewards of the environment. Not only for the sake of endangered animals, but for our own sake.

I protest this legislation with the greatest urgency. The voices of biologists, climatologists and other scientists must continue to speak for creatures who cannot speak for themselves. Surely, it is evident how recklessly destructive we have been to our environment. Please do all you can to prevent the passage of this brutal and short-sighted legislation.

Your children and grandchildren and their children and grandchildren thank you.

Ya listening buddy? Wanna fight evil? Here is your chance to stop trying to sic the government on your (and my) female family members' wombs and protect the environment.

Item One-Please consider vaporizing the Department of Homeland Security and replacing it with a Department of Reversing Every Executive Order Promulgated in the Last Eight Years.

Item Two-Please consider signing an Executive Order after the Oath of Office but before the Inaugural Speech impounding all Bush and Cheney papers to preserve them for Grand Jury proceedings.

He'll continue Bush's policies because they are the policies of the Republican Party.

And we know (or should know) that McCain will eventually have to bend over and follow the GOP line.

The Democrats are failing miserably in communicating this to the voters.

I cannot resist ....

We have been in a major recession since 2000. A recession of common sense and intelligence on the part of the Bush Administration, and Congress.

Hurry Bush, you only have a few more months in office and yet there are so many progressive and hard won intitiatives to gut before you go!

Is there any doubt that this administration will run last minute favors in the form of insidious giveaways and corporate gifts?

The worst legacy this administration will leave if Bush and Cheney are not impeached has far deeper levels of damage than is being acknowledged.

Bush will grant blanket immunities to everyone involved in scandals we know of and many we don't, challenges to malfeasance will be made harder to accomplish because this administration was never challenged in terms of breaches to constitutional law.

Investigations into malfeasance will be made hard to impossible with unjustified secrecy classifications and disappeared documentation along with blanket immunities.

Continued abuses of constitutional laws will be hard to challenge because they weren't challenged in this administration when they were being abused. Unchallenged abuses run the risk of being almost approved by a lack of being challenged.

Democrats are worried about what a long impeachment process and the investigation taking longer than Bush has left in office would do to the party. The senate oversight committee has boldly stated that each and every senator and representative is not doing their job of upholding and protecting the constitution if they don't. Not only that but that the hard to investigate and prove cases are not the place to fight the battle. Bush and Cheney have both publicly refused to comply with legislation and oversight investigations legally initiated by the senate oversight committee. Bush refused to comply with legislation specifically enacted to force him to comply with his job of enforcing legislations, he refused to comply.

The process of impeachment would be as simple as answering the question are they guilty of intentionally defying the constitution, and if so taking a vote on whether it in fact is accurately true. There is no gray area and there is no choice of how each and every senator and representative would have to vote because every no vote to impeach would be indicative of another administration bad apple earmarked for elimination from our system.

It's that simple, one week to accomplish and democrats would rule in an unobstructed way that will not be possible without the impeachments.
