Bush Relaxes ESA Standards, Sun Rises in East

Expect more of the Worst President Ever to find ways to give everyone and everything the middle finger before he leaves office.

The Bush administration yesterday announced plans to relax the law protecting endangered species to allow federal agencies to decide for themselves whether construction projects such as highways, dams or mines might harm endangered animals and plants.

Under the altered rules, the government would no longer have to consult with independent scientists about the effect of new projects on wildlife. Thousands of consultations take place every year.

Is there anything this complete douche bag won't do for industry? I am counting the days until this moron goes back to his horrible little scrub brush ranch.
