Why Does Bush Hate Young Children and Pregnant Women?

It looks like Mr. Bush and his friends like big, ugly, nasty polluting corporations better than young children and pregnant women.

The Environmental Protection Agency ignored scientific evidence and
agency protocols in order to set limits on mercury pollution that would line
up with the Bush administration's free-market approaches to power plant
pollution, according to a report released yesterday by the agency's
inspector general.

Staff at the EPA were instructed by administrators to set modest limits on
mercury pollution, and then had to work backward from the predetermined goal to justify the proposal, according to a report by Inspector General Nikki Tinsley.

Mercury is a toxic metal released as a byproduct by coal-burning power
plants and other industries, and it is known to have a range of harmful
health effects, especially on young children and pregnant women.


What a meanie. I'm telling my mommy.

    I agree, it does sound like he has mercury poisoning.

    His mommy should take him to the doctor, right after she washes his dirty mouth out with soap.
