Fuck you, Mother Nature.
Mark Morford says:
BushCo, brushing aside concerns from environmentalists and pretty much anyone else who gives a damn about the planet or trees or anything concerning anything other than profit and corporate snickering, is pushing forward with plans to give national forest managers more flexibility to approve logging and commercial activities, with less environmental review. The new rules would overhaul the landmark 1976 National Forest Management Act, and would leave intact some of the most controversial proposals from a draft plan, including those that would give regional managers of the Forest Service more discretion to approve logging, drilling and mining operations without having to conduct formal scientific investigations known as environmental impact statements. The new rules also offer less emphasis on wildlife preservation and other environmental concerns when deciding how much logging or recreation to allow on federal land. "Ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha hahahahahahahaaa!" snorted the White House's Office of Management and Budget. "Oh my freaking God, we can get away with anything! Anything at all! Clean Air Act? EPA? Auto emissions? Screwed 'em all, baby!" the entire administration snorted, in that sad sort of resigned, we're all going to hell so why not gloat about it tone that depresses children and makes dandelions wilt. "Trees suck! Ha ha ha. Sigh."
