Word is out that Bush has another fox appointee to guard the henhouse. Susan Dudley has been appointed as regulatory czar for the Bush administration. She currently works for an outfit (that, kudos, just received an $80,000 "grant" from Exxon Mobil!) which argued that "historical evidence suggests" global warming "is likely to be beneficial, occurring at night, in the winter, and at the poles."
She also wanted to make car air bags "optional."
Apparently she is personally responsible for the statement that there "is a wide range of uncertainty in the science surrounding the health effects of arsenic in U.S. drinking water supplies."
Hey, arsenic, global warming, and steering wheel impact might actually be good for you. Let's face it, the jury is still out.
Other things that are good for you, according to the Bush administration:
unemployment
waterboarding
delay (both Tom and time)
underfunded schools
occupied Iraq (but hey, we're painting the schools there.)
wiretapping
marriage, if you are a man and a woman, as often as you like; same-sex, never.
fences
flags
Let no one say that this administration is putting the interests of big business ahead of the interests of the American People. That may be true, but don't let anyone say it.
Bush sure knows how to pick a winner, eh?

Hey, those panties are cute! Gimme a link. My Hello Kitty undies are getting old.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Ms. Dudley will do a heckuva job.
ReplyDeleteThe most amazing thing is that they don't even *pretend* to be responsible custodians. They don't even *try* to make it look good.
ReplyDelete"Yeah, that's right - we're hiring lobbyists to regulate their own industries, whatcha gonna do about it?"
Lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think they would at least try to look like they aren't out to destroy life on this planet. At least a little.
