Happy Independence Day
President Bush celebrated the 4th of July by giving us independence from the Endangered Species Act! Fafblog:The new rules take a more "optional" approach to the Endangered Species Act, replacing "enforcement" of existing laws with "incentives" that make it easier for you to "get away with killing protected species." Bush's Secretary of the Interior calls this "New Environmentalism," which is probably more accurately descibed as "Not Environmentalism."Liberal wonk Matthew Yglesias reacts with "Who cares? Species die, shit happens, get over it."
I used to say Martin Sheen in West Wing mode would make a better president than Bush. Now, I'm thinking Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now mode would do better.
