<![CDATA[Grist - Comment Feed for Bush admin gets senior-itis, says it won’t decide on emissions before term ends]]> Grist Comment Feed en Comment #1 by Guinness74 http://www.grist.org/article/EPAstallin/ Fri, 11 Jul 2008 01:29:46 -0700 http://www.grist.org/article/EPAstallin/1 I don't suppose...

I don't suppose that we could get BushCo. to celebrate the end of their term with a succession of "cut" days...or have they already used all of those up?

Bueller...anyone...anyone?!

Okay EPA, aren't you the Environmental PROTECTION Agency?  What more public comment is needed?  Stop the insanity for cripes sake and do your job.  Ministry of Silly Walks strikes again.  Aggghhhh!

This is the most important story on Grist.

That's it.  The eight years are over and we can let go of that now.  It was never going to happen.

George, you are off-the-hook, baby cakes!  Congrats on a damn well played game!  HA-ha!  You won!

You did teach me a few things, though:

 Money is always more powerful than the will of the people or the reasoning of science.  

 Until a dollar price is put on carbon, and alternative energy cost less per kilowatt than coal/oil, there is a zero chance of anything ever happening on this front.  Ever.  It is as absolute and fundamental as that.  

THANK YOU for being my teacher, George!  I am forever grateful and in your debt.

Wow, you know what?  I don't know about you, but this is kind of a weight off of my shoulders.  Whew!  Breathe out.  Whoooosh.  Better than yoga, man.  Yeah, it feels good.  Kinda fatalistic instead of having to fight.  Nice.  I'm thinking huge vodka and cranberry tumblers (big ones) and poolside lounging now.  Maybe a pedicure.  Fuck it.  

Its been fun y'all!  The first decade of the millennium was a riot!  Epic fail.  See you in 2009 when there is a possibility again -- Obama, Copenhagen, ect.  Until then its party time as far as I'm concerned.
