Bush weakens smog rules

Chris in Paris, who tracks environmental issues, shares one of the latest horrors:

EPA officials initially tried to set a lower seasonal limit on ozone to protect wildlife, parks and farmland, as required under the law. While their proposal was less restrictive than what the EPA's scientific advisers had proposed, Bush overruled EPA officials and on Tuesday ordered the agency to increase the limit, according to the documents.

Now, why does George W. Bush want us all to die?

I know, an overstatement. Well, not actually.

So long as he upholds the profits of his friends, he thinks he's done his job.

The man himself is a toxin on this planet.
