Only One Day Left...

for Bush to make this world a worse place before he leaves. Tomorrow is the deadline for the Bush administration to issue new executive rules that cannot easily be undone by Obama.

Thank God he's intent on going out on a dozy. The Bush administration is about to enact a rule that would allow executive administrators to determine for themselves whether a proposed project would threaten endangered plants or animals. Current rules require that the projects receive an independent review by wildlife experts.

You may remember this rule was the one speed-reviewed when 15 people "read" the 250,000 comments on the proposed change in four days. Surprisingly, they didn't find much in the rule that needed changing.

And you do have to hand it to the Bushies, just in case this nation goes nuts and elects someone who might appoint people who would take their responsibility to the Endangered Species Act seriously, the rule also includes a provision that bars anyone from taking the release of gasses that may cause global warming into consideration at all.

If you're going to go down as the worst president in history (sorry Andy), you may as well go all the fucking way down, no?
