Bush Screwing America On The Way Out
By Ben Cohen
Tim Dickinson of Rolling Stone explains how Bush is delivering his 'Final Fuck You' to the American public:
In its final days, the administration is rushing to implement a
sweeping array of "midnight regulations" — de facto laws
issued by the executive branch — designed to lock in Bush's
legacy. Under the last- minute rules, which can be extremely
difficult to overturn, loaded firearms would be allowed in national
parks, uranium mining would be permitted near the Grand Canyon and
many injured consumers would no longer be able to sue negligent
manufacturers in state courts. Other rules would gut the Endangered
Species Act, open millions of acres of wild lands to mining,
restrict access to birth control and put local cops to work spying
for the federal government.
