If you happen to be one of those who still sees Bush as some sort of war hero or savior to family values, well, follow the money, baby. The spoiled brat scenario is about the best we can hope for, but with that much power behind his indulgences of his personal friends at the expense of, well, all of humanity and the very environment that supports our existence, sometimes it's hard to believe that Bush isn't the anti-Christ.
A Polluter's Feast
Bush has reversed more environmental progress in the past eight months than Reagan did in a full eight years
By TIM DICKINSONWhat can you say about the environmental record of an administration that seeks to test pesticides on poor children and pregnant women? That argues in court that a dam is part of a salmon's natural environment? That places a timber lobbyist in charge of the national forests and an oil lobbyist in charge of government reports on global warming? That cuts clean-air inspections at oil refineries in half, allows Superfund to go bankrupt and permits the mining industry to pump toxic waste directly into a wild Alaskan lake?
Only this: It's about to get even worse.
