EPA Gone Feral: Destroying Our Future

This Bush treason will kill many more children than his little war has.

"In defiance of Congressional requests to immediately halt closures of library collections, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is purging records from its library websites, making them unavailable to both agency scientists and outside researchers, according to documents released today by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER). At the same time, EPA is taking steps to prevent the re-opening of its shuttered libraries, including the hurried auctioning off of expensive bookcases, cabinets, microfiche readers and other equipment for less than a penny on the dollar."

This is self destruction of public property at its worst. While selling the furniture for pennies on the dollar to friends is just plain old theft, the destruction of years of research into toxic chemicals and pesticides is an outright assault on the lives and health of every American. This obvious attempt to help industry by knee-capping the regulatory agency that protects us from the chemicals is so cynical, so dangerous, and so homicidal that somebody from the Bush cabal had damn well better go to jail over this one. They'll put Nuns in jail for graffiti on Pentagon property, but they'll let this shit slide?

In a letter dated November 30, 2006, four incoming House Democratic committee chairs demanded that EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson assure them “that the destruction or disposition of all library holdings immediately ceased upon the Agency's receipt of this letter and that all records of library holdings and dispersed materials are being maintained.” On the very next day, December 1st, EPA de-linked thousands of documents from the website for the Office of Prevention, Pollution and Toxic Substances (OPPTS) Library, in EPA’s Washington D.C. Headquarters.

Last month without notice to its scientists or the public, EPA abruptly closed the OPPTS Library, the agency’s only specialized research repository on health effects and properties of toxic chemicals and pesticides. The web purge follows reports that library staffers were ordered to destroy its holdings by throwing collections into recycling bins.

“EPA’s leadership appears to have gone feral, defying all appeals to reason or consultation,” stated PEER Executive Director Jeff Ruch, noting that Congress has yet to review, let alone approve, the library closures. “The new Congress convening in January will finally have a chance to decide whether EPA will continue to pillage its library network.”

Un-fucking-believable. These people have no shame. Do their kids breath different air, drink different water, or eat different food from the rest of us. Or are they actually thinking, fuck the kids? Oh, right. Iraq. Deficit. Pollution. I see a trend. The GOP just doesn't give a shit about the future generations of Americans. I guess they're really betting the farm on the Rapture....

Daily Kos: Impeachment: you think the world is not watching?

"So Democrats also think it's okay to go invade another country, to get several hundred thousand of its inhabitants killed, to proudly practice and promote torture around the world, to tear up the Geneva Conventions and a whole load of international treaties, and to go grab random foreigners around the world to put them in Guantanamo and throw away the key?"

Right. But when we discover the crimes, we need to make it clear that there is no choice. The constitution states quite clearly that impeachment is what you do if there have been high crimes and misdemeanors. This isn't something we can throw away for political expediency. This is a constitutional duty. If we don't do our duty, we are just as guilty as Republicans for putting party over country.

Document shows Bush guided CIA on detention - Americas - International Herald Tribune

If this isn't treason, I don't know what is. George Bush personally authorized torture techniques. Remember the reports that as young person, he tortured and killed frogs? First sign of a serial killer.

There is something wrong with the Bush family. Just look what Jeb has been up to:

Officials Clash Over Mentally Ill in Florida Jails

For years, circuit judges here have ordered state officials to obey Florida law and promptly transfer severely mentally ill inmates from jails to state hospitals. But with few hospital beds available, Gov. Jeb Bush’s administration began flouting those court orders in August.

Now, in a growing standoff between the government of Florida and its judges, the state is being threatened with steep daily fines if it does not comply. And at least one judge has raised the possibility that the secretary of the Florida Department of Children and Families could go to jail for contempt of court.

“This type of arrogant activity cannot be tolerated in an orderly society,” Judge Crockett Farnell of Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court wrote in an Oct. 11 ruling.

Despite Billions Spent, Rebuilding Incomplete - washingtonpost.com

So, we lefties never talk about all the good things that America has done for Iraq. OK, let's do that. Today's WP has a look at exactly what our reconstruction dollars have done in Iraq. And that's just some of the trillion or so we'll spend on it. Well, we didn't really spend it. We charged it. Our kids will be paying the Iraq tax for decades. But, let's look at the good stuff.

"'We accomplished a significant amount of work. But it was just overwhelmed by the overlay of violence,' said Clifford G. Mumm, who has spent much of the past three years in Iraq managing projects for Bechtel Corp. 'It's hard to be very optimistic.'

U.S.-funded projects have long been a target for sabotage. Many of those that were spared remain unused by a population paralyzed by violence.

Yet those inside the reconstruction effort say security concerns were hardly the only problem. Poor planning and coordination by U.S. officials meant that even successful individual projects failed to do the job; for example, health-care centers were built at great cost but had no water and sewer service. Poor work-site management by contractors meant that some projects went awry. And now that the United States is handing over reconstruction efforts to Iraq, many involved with the process worry that the Iraqis don't have the training or the money to keep U.S.-built facilities running."

I know, commie bastards like me even try to ruin the good stuff for you. So, maybe you'd like to hear what an actual Iraqi has to say.

"What reconstruction?" Othman said in an interview last week. "Today we are drinking untreated water from a plant built decades ago that was never maintained. The electricity only visits us two hours a day. And now we are going backwards. We cook on the firewood we gather from the forests because of the gas shortage."

Well, there you have it. Our money has actually done the opposite of what GW Bush, the great leader and hero who was OH so much better than Gore or Kerry (people with actual experience in war), intended. Well, boys and girls, the road to hell is paved with GW Bush's good intentions. So is the road to Baghdad.

Another Argument with a Union Guy

Never ceases to amaze me how redneck union guys who claim to be independents or even Democrats are the first to take the side of the Rethugs. This is a recent exchange in my union news group. The righties have been pretty quiet, but after posting a link to get people to go freep an MSNBC poll about impeachment, I got this response to Bush treason:

So basically instead of making suggestions to MSNBC on how the newly elected Democrats could change policy and define their platform for the reshaping of American presense in the world— we get a vote on a political lynching. I guess it’s the Dems turn to do what the Reps did to Clinton when he was President and they had the power. Thus proving my point that their all alike.

Ugh. Yeah, they're all alike. Typical crap from a guy who not only watches, but enjoys, Bill O'Lielly. Here's my response:

Lynching? Or is it oversight? Is it justice? Let's see, a lynching was when KKK people tied black guys up to trees and went to town. Impeaching GW Bush for his numerous crimes would be JUSTICE.

The Democrats will pass legislation in the first hundred hours raising the minimum wage, implementing all the 9-11 commission recommendations, allowing the government to negotiate with drug companies for medicare, break the link between lobbyists and legislators (drain the swamp), cut the interest rate on student loans in half, and allow federal funding of stem-cell research, hopefully with a veto proof majority on the stem cells. After the first 100 hours, it's pass a pay as you go rule, so the
deficit gets under control, and allow the tax cuts for those over 250K per year to lapse (start rewarding work over wealth). That's the plan they've been pushing for over a year now. But you wouldn't know that. You've been too busy saying they don't have a plan to bother to listen to the plan.

So, no, they're not the same. And you know it.

Besides, Clinton lied about a blow job. Bush violated the 4th amendment with warrantless spying on American citizens, he lied to congress to get us into war (I can't think of a bigger crime, considering all the death, maiming, and destruction that's resulted), and he has allowed torture in direct violation of many laws and treaties. Not to mention all his "signing statements" where he says this law applies to everyone but me. All blatant violations of numerous laws that are a HELL OF A LOT WORSE THAN LYING ABOUT A BLOW JOB, at least to those of us whose heads are outside of the lower end of our digestive tract.

So, do you really think the two are anywhere near comparable, or are you just parroting the O'Liely line of crap again?

Quick Notes From Planet Earth

Hunter is his usual brilliant self lately.

"The notion among hardcore, far-right conservatives that this sweeping Democratic victory was a great victory for hardcore, far-right conservatives because the Democrats who won are really conservatives too. Not that there's the slightest bit of evidence of conservatism, for all but a handful of these people -- no, it's just that 'conservative' means whatever the hell hardcore far-right conservatives consider popular, at the moment. There's no actual tenets involved, mind you, which is a lucky thing, because the same conservatives just spent months declaring that these same Democrats were hopelessly, unimaginably liberal, and were going to make you marry your dog or something."

Rumsfeld: a costly legacy in lost lives - The Herald:

"Detractors painted him as a reckless warmonger who botched the Iraq occupation planning, sent too few troops, failed to anticipate a bloody insurgency, put soldiers into combat without enough armour, damaged the all-volunteer military and sullied America's reputation by sanctioning detainee abuse."

VA-Sen: Voter suppression in Virginia

If conservatives have all the ideas, then why do they have to cheat? I can't wait to see some other Rethugs perp walked for these crimes. Of course, in the close races, some of these people would rather go to club fed than see the public vote for someone besides their guy. This is Bush Treason, Republican Treason, Karl Rove Treason: trying to force democracy on Iraq, while taking it away here.

Daily Kos: VA-Sen: Voter suppression in Virginia: "Widespread Calls, Allegedly from 'Webb Volunteers,' Telling Voters that their Polling Location has Changed.

A couple of examples:

a. Norman Cox has been registered to vote in the same location in Arlington since 1972. Someone from a 406 number (in Montana) called to tell him that his polling place has changed. [Note: The Webb Campaign is NOT making any such phone calls.] Cox said he believed that he was being mislead and the caller hung up.

b. Peter Baumann in Cape Charles, VA (North Hampton) got a similar call from a 'Webb volunteer' saying his polling location had changed. He said: No, I'm a poll worker and I know where I vote. The girl--who was calling from California--hung up."

State Department screened speakers for possible dissent

Bush-Cheney 1984: From the Big Surprise Department.

"WASHINGTON - An internal State Department review has found that U.S. officials screened the public statements and writings of private citizens for criticism of the Bush administration before deciding whether to select them for foreign speaking projects.

The screenings amounted to 'virtual censorship' in the State Department's selection of speakers, said a report by the department's Inspector General's Office. McClatchy Newspapers obtained a copy of the 22-page report, which was completed in September."

Bush Abandons US Soldier Behind Enemy Lines

Hey, all you conservatives, did you notice this yesterday? While Bush, McCain and the rest of the nut jobs were blathering on about Kerry's mangled sentence (as if Bush was one to try to talk), Bush abondoned an American soldier behind enemy lines:

Extra checkpoints were set up last week as U.S. troops launched an intensive search for a missing soldier, who has yet to be found.

Shortly after leaving Sadr city, U.S. troops dismantled other checkpoints in the downtown Karradah neighborhood where the soldier had been abducted, loading barbed wire coils onto their Stryker armored vehicles.

Conservative blogger Andrew Sullivan notes:

The U.S. military does not have a traditional of abandoning its own soldiers to foreign militias, or of taking orders from foreign governments. No commander-in-chief who actually walks the walk, rather than swaggering the swagger, would acquiesce to such a thing.... And where, by the way, is McCain on this? ... Silent recently on Iraq. But vocal - oh, how vocal - on Kerry.

Where is everyone on this? We have now abandoned a soldier because Bush wants to kiss Iraqi ass now. Shameful.

Republicans Losing the West

If Democrats are going to be a national party again, they have to win in the west. After all, you've got your guns, so where are you going to hunt? Environmental populism has been winning political hearts and minds across the west for a while now. The republican party's ideology dictates that hearts and minds are reality based, and they don't do reality.

These California Republicans are in trouble. If you follow the links, you'll see why.

--CA-04: John Doolittle

--CA-11: Richard Pombo

--CA-50: Brian Bilbray

Pombo is an environmental disaster, and a genuine asshole to boot.

Colorodo is slowing growing bluer and bluer. It's easy to see why when you look at the talent the Republican party runs for office.

--CO-04: Marilyn Musgrave

--CO-05: Doug Lamborn

--CO-07: Rick O'Donnell

Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, and Nevada are in play because of the incompetence of these winners.

--MO-Sen: Jim Talent

--MT-Sen: Conrad Burns

--NV-03: Jon Porter
--NM-01: Heather Wilson

And Washington State is always close, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out why.

--WA-Sen: Mike McGavick

--WA-08: Dave Reichert

These are all Republicans in trouble for one reason or another, and it's shocking that enough people would vote for these slime balls. Just read the stories. The vast array of sleeze is astounding. Well, not really. They are Republicans.

Another Religious FREAK Gets My Dander Up

I just love these guys. They really know how to stick to their talking points. Hopefully those talking points are finally being seen for what they are. I shouldn't even call them Bullshit, because at least with Bullshit you can fertilize plants.

Main Entry: 1mor·al
Pronunciation: 'mor-&l, 'mär-
Function: adjective
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin moralis, from mor-, mos custom
1 a : of or relating to principles of right and wrong in behavior : ETHICAL

It's wrong to curse in public, in school, and pretty much everywhere else. If it's WRONG then it's not moral. The bilbe also says it's wrong.

It seems like you're more concerned about bashing the Republicans anyway. Sooooo... while we're at it...

Democrats have no (I repeat), NO plan for winning the war in Iraq.
Democrats don't have plans for anything really.
All they can do is blame Bush, yet they produce no solutions.
Bashing Bush is more important to you than actually doing the things you say you would do (like feeding the poor)
If you want to win favor with the voters, portray some MORAL VALUES. People respect that.
Killing babies is not moral.
Gay marriage and adoption are not moral.
You are stupid.

Listen very carefully.

Fuck off.

I don't believe in your Bible. So, for you to argue something saying that IT says it is so is illogical. The definition of MORAL that you sent mentions nothing about Religion. It is entirely possible to live ethically without believing in the same BULLSHIT you believe in. I believe it is RIGHT to curse when your president tortures, murders, maims, ridicules, and belittles anyone who dares to believe differently than him. I have been called a traitor. I have been called a baby murder. I don't need your fucking insults, you fucking red neck. If you write me again, you will be added to the spam filter.

How many dead babies in Iraq? For what? NO PLAN. I GOT A FUCKING PLAN, ASSHOLE. GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER MADE IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY.

The democrats have a plan to. They're called subpoenas. Then we can find out the truth about your ethical bunch of White House thugs.

I have another plan too. It has to do with helping the working people of this country for a fucking change. No more tax breaks for billionaires. No more wars of lies. And no more putting up with the kind of terrorism you support.

It is GW Bush and the Republican party that has no plan, other than to continue pouring a billion dollars down that hole every four days. It's not about bashing Bush. It's about restoring some sense of reason and sensibility to a government gone crazy with power, slashing the bill or rights down to one, all because you don't want gay people to rescue an UNABORTED baby from the hells of the foster system.

Most people respect reason.

Now crawl back under your rock where dinosaurs are Jesus horses, and God made the world just the way it is 5000 years ago, and no one is moral except the ones who believe like you. Too bad you can't just go back to the 50's where the blacks and the jews were all kept where the belong - under your boot.

Honor Crude and Cruel Persons

A friend recently posted a short bit on Christians and forgiveness: "Is it possible to honor crude and cruel persons who destroy life and love?"

My answer?

100's of thousands of dead Iraqis. Over 2700 dead American soldiers. Civil war. Torture. Rape. Mutilation. Thousands of times more than was being committed by Saddam. Unstable middle east. Nuclear proliferation. Pakistan making friends with Al Qaeda types. Taliban coming back. North Korea. Iran. Broken military. Rich getting richer. More poverty. Less health care. War on the middle class. All because working people thought gay marriage and abortion were a bigger threat than anything else.

Good thing I'm not a Christian because I hate GW Bush more than any of you Republicans ever hated Bill Clinton. I will never forgive him. I will never forgive those of you who called me a traitor because I tried to tell you what an evil man he and his cronies are. I will never forgive anyone who voted for this regime, which has hurt America more than any administration in history. I will never forgive the ignoring of threats, the lies, the cherry picking, the strategic leaks, the denials, or the signing statements. I will never forgive any authoritarian government that forces the views of some on the rest.

Even long prison sentences for these criminals will not be enough.

Now all of you who are angry, get out there and vote. The rest of you, well, let's hope your God has mercy on your souls, and that your children are rich enough to afford to pay of the deficit.

WhiteHouseHypocrisy.com

WhiteHouseHypocrisy.com

"G W Bush's death wish is revealed in powerful images and words of Bush choices whether the Iraq war, torture, tax cuts for wealthy, environment, civil liberties challenging the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, the Geneva Convention and mankind. Bushisms are not meaningless dyslexia but Freudian slips revealing lifelong destructive patterns."



Thanks, Steven, for checking out my blog, and I appreciate yours as well. Randy Rhodes often talks about Bush's youthful experiments with blowing up frogs and torturing small animals. When she had Justin A. Frank, author of Bush on the Couch, on the show, they got into a lot of psychological problems that Bush demonstrates. Not to mention the rumors that he's on anti-depressants... I hope Cheney on the Couch is the sequel.

Internet Gambling Ban

Well, Bill Frist has his lips planted firmly on the ass of the religious right now, after slipping an internet gambling ban into a port security bill. Except, I wonder how much of that gambling will just move to Abramoff's Indian casino friends? Or the Mississippi gambling boats, or the hundreds of other places to gamble in this country. This is more of a get out, burn gas, and gamble locally bill. Helps the oil companies and the local gambling industry. Nice.

All you internet gamblers better show up to the polls, and remember, the Republicans are the ones who took your on-line poker site away.

Drug Addiction Rehabilitation Videos

Someone at the White House needs to visit this drug addiction treatment videos web site that I just finished optimizing for the search engines. While I'm not sure what drugs George and Dick are taking, I'm sure it's something powerful. And they're going to need help to get off it. So, if there's a counselor in the White House who's trying to save the world by stopping the President and Vice President's drug addiction, then please, someone, send them to this site where they can find educational videos to help with drug addiction.

Coke head calling the bed pan white

When I heard George Bush call terrorists Islamic Fascists, I just had to look up the dictionary definition at Webster's:

fascism

1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

Sounds like the neocons to me.

More fun with Caniac

Having a little fun with a wingnut over at Questions for Christians:

Dick "last throes" Cheney doesn't lie. OK. You've had enough. Put the Kool Aide down and back away.

A few reporters admitting to fabrication means the whole paper is lies? Very nice. Again, you must have gone to the Karl Rove school in Orwellville. Taking that position means that only FAUX NEWS tells the truth. Careful, you're going to make me spew. So, here's a FACT about Dick Cheney's truthfulness:

CLAIM:
BORGER: "Well, let's get to Mohamed Atta for a minute because you mentioned him, as well. You have said in the past that it was, quote, 'pretty well confirmed.'" CHENEY: “No, I never said that.”
- CNBC, 6/20/04

FACT:
“It's been pretty well confirmed that [Atta] did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi intelligence service in Czechoslovakia last April, several months before the attack.”
- Vice President Dick Cheney, 12/9/01

FACT REFUTING CHENEY'S ORIGINAL LIE ABOUT ATTA-IRAQ CONNECTION:
“There is no evidence that the alleged leader of the Sept. 11 hijackers, Mohamed Atta, met in April 2001 with an Iraqi intelligence agent in Prague, a finding that eliminates a once-suggested link between the terrorist attacks and the government of President Saddam Hussein, according to a senior administration official.”
- Washington Post, 5/1/02

So, Brainiac, I guess we can't believe anything Dick Cheney says, huh? You said it. Lie once and no one can ever believe you again.

But let's get on to the meat of the thing. Scientists 30 years ago hadn't invented the internet, were wrong about dinosaurs (you know, Jesus horses), and many, many other things. That's the thing about science. It has ways built in to correct itself. Theory and observation. Something religion doesn't have.

Ironically, however, they were only partly wrong. One scenario theorizes that as the north pole and Greenland melt, lots of fresh water pours into the north Atlantic. That halts the gulf stream, and the northeast and Europe get very cold. But it's just a scenario. Could be wrong. We should wait and see and not do anything about it.

But, hey, there's no sense talking to you about this. You will never let anyone convince you that you're wrong about anything.

Oh, I'm angry. You have no idea. It's about time we had some angry liberals. Of course, it was you guys who were the real rabid dog angry when Bill Clinton was getting a blow job in the same room where Ronald Reagan took his medicine. Liberals like me are angry about something that really matters.

I have watched George Bush allow this country to be attacked. I have watched an American city drown. I have seen 300 BILLION FUCKING DOLLARS WASTED ON A WAR BASED ON LIES WHILE THE REAL TERRORISTS WHOSE BALLS SHOULD BE HANGING ON THE OVAL OFFICE WALL ARE STILL WANDERING AROUND FREE. I have watched Haliburton get rich, science get ignored, unions get busted, jobs get outsourced, corporations moving to the Caymans, pollution get worse, public lands sold off, Enron, enforcement of immigrarion laws (especially against employers) stopped, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, health care and fuel get unaffordable, the deficit exploded, and people like you keep spewing BULLSHIT paid for by the oil companies who are making record profit.

But it only has a little to do with you personally. It has a lot to do with you in the plural. You and Dick and George. So fucking sure that your God is the right God. That everyone is going to hell. That armageddon is coming and anyone who's not a Christian will burn in hell.

When GW says God told him to strike Iraq, that's shoving religion down my throat. We he calls what he's started a Crusade, that's inciting future terror attacks. That makes my kids less safe.

Hey, why are we in Iraq anyway? Iraq's ties to 9-11? WMD? Democratic dominos falling though the middle east? But you said Cheney doesn't lie. Fighting terrorists there so we don't have to fight them here? Oh, I see, they have those shock collars on so they can't come here when they're ready? The people who started all this with box cutters are too geographically challenged to come over here again? What a sad, pathetic, horrific joke you and your idols are.

Maybe they like it when we come over there and rape and kill innocent children. Saves them the trouble and does their recruiting for them. Then we fire Arabic translators for being gay. Almost 50 of them so far. Nice. That'll help.

But I digress.

I noticed that you again avoided all the points made on the many links I provided. If your only argument that Global Warming isn't happening is that they were wrong in the 70's, well, you need to take another Earth Sciences class. But that would be torture, wouldn't it? Having to listen to all those unclean facts? All those references to evolution?

I don't hate all Christians. I hate hypocrites. Republicans are not Christians in your policies or politics. You are befouling an earth you claim God told you to behold. If you don't believe that GW Bush is an environmental nightmare (even without Global Warming and Climate Change in the arguement), then there is no sense in wasting my time on you anymore.
