Weepy McWeeperson

Ok, so yesterday I thought it was just the scads of wedding music, but today I am crying at the stupidest shit ever. Is this because I'm sick, or old, or what? And no, it's not PMS. This time.

Stop with the crying already, dammit! I feel like G. Bush Sr. (Of course, he really does have a lot to cry about.)

GWB continues to screw with the air you breathe

EPA reverses decision on tailpipe emissions after communication with the White House.

Perhaps the strongest evidence came from EPA Associate Deputy Administrator Jason Burnett, a political appointee.
Deposed under oath, Burnett told committee staff that Johnson "was very interested in a full grant of the waiver" in August and September of 2007 and later thought a partial grant — allowing the waiver for two or three years — "was the best course of action."
Johnson's position changed after Johnson communicated with the White House, Burnett said.

EPA defends itself against accusations of constantly caving to White House pressure.

Johnson insisted that the level of protection was "essentially equivalent" — a position disputed by a number of scientists including the EPA science advisory board for ozone, as smog technically is called.
Dr. Rogene Henderson, chair of the EPA's Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee, said she was perplexed by the White House position that Johnson eventually accepted. "Willful ignorance triumphed over sound science," she told the committee as she sat near Johnson at the witness table.

Out Out OUT!!!
