An anonymous reader writes: "In a move that has been termed 'positively Orwellian' by Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility Executive Director Jeff Ruch, George W. Bush is ending public access to research materials at EPA regional libraries without Congressional consent. This all-out effort to impede research and public access is a [loosely] covert operation to close down 26 technical libraries under the guise of budgetary constraint. Scientists are protesting, but at least 15 of the libraries will be closed by Sept. 30, 2006."

Like when Clinton bombed Baghdad, for example? All the Republicans were screaming bloody murder, as I recall. How convenient that you've forgotten. But don't let that distract you from your partisan rant.

God, obviously. And since Bush claims to be in communication with God, he should have had plenty of warning and/or should have been able to convince God to send the hurricane to Mexico or somewhere.
Therefore, it's still Bush's fault!

I can't enjoy my Bush-hate when you post facts like this.

As we know, Cheney seems to be quite the ferocious killer with his 'shotty' at his side. So, Cheney can't be pure evil. I do believe, however, that Cheney still consumes one live baby every morning to replenish his fuel reserves.
