Bush Moves to Counter Gas Emissions
Ok, I really thought this story was gonna say that Bush, Cheney, Rice & Gonzo were just gonna quit talking.... but I was wrong...

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush, prodded by a Supreme Court ruling, said Monday his administration will decide how to regulate pollution from new motor vehicles by the time he leaves office.

Bush signed an executive order directing federal agencies to craft regulations that will "cut gasoline consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles." He ordered the agencies - the departments of Transportation, Agriculture and Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency - to have the rules in place by the end of 2008.

The announcement came as gasoline prices hit a new record. The average national price of a gallon of gas reached $3.07 on Monday, above the previous peak of $3.06 set soon after Hurricane Katrina hit at the end of August 2005.

"When it comes to energy and the environment, the American people expect common sense and they expect action," the president said in a Rose Garden appearance before reporters. "We're taking action by taking the first steps toward rules that will make our economy stronger, our environment cleaner and our nation more secure for generations to come."

1. And from what I heard, he said this when soldiers were dying and being
captured, and he has said not a fucking word about them.
Priorities...

4. I know how you feel. Just keep on keeping on. I'm gone for a few
days; I hope someone will. But the Falwell stuff will fall by the wayside, as it should.
And thank you, GitM. :hug:

5. Take care of yourself and enjoy....
your few days away. I'll keep watching and posting when I find something, though I'm going to have to go back to work for a bit tomorrow. Luckily for me, I own my own business and can set my own hours, as I have people that run everything. I basically just go in when I'm bored from sitting here and need something else to do. I don't make much money that way, but it saves the pain and agony I put my body thru when I go down and work 16-20 hour days.

PEACE!, babylonsister :hug:
