the clip says that this is dubya's doing, but we all know by now that it's tricky dickless, don't we?unable to muster the votes necessary to outright repeal the endangered species program and apparently feeling that replacing the heads of all of the government's scientific agencies with neocon drones didn't go far enough, dick is pushing ahead with a plan to allow federal agencies (run by neocons, too) to decide for themselves if construction plans & whatnot harms animals.
(if they happen to see the alleged harm happen. and if the animal in question fills out the proper forms and gets notarized by the proper filing date at the office which doesn't exist. we're betting this will work just as well as dickless' voluntary emissions program.)
