Hmmm.... Scott Adams is anti-Bush?

My favourite paragraph:

"Unfortunately, it was too late for Thomas, whose timing could not have been
worse. His map appeared on the internet just as the new secretary of the
interior, Gale Norton, was being briefed on the Arctic refuge's ecology.
Norton's job is to champion the cause of Arctic drilling. On the evidence of
its environmental policies to date, this administration is not merely
pro-business; it actually appears to hold a grudge against the natural
world. It has rejected the Kyoto treaty on global warming, ruled out
statutory limits on industrial carbon dioxide emissions, dropped a ban on
building roads through indigenous forests, closed down wildlife research
centres and even lifted federal limits on the permissible level of arsenic
that mining companies are allowed to leave in the water table."

It's the end of the world as we know it... and I feel fine.
