Well, what can I say... The Bushies needed some more land to destroy, so they chose one of the few remaining pristine places left on the planet to hand over to their embedded industry cronies. The landscape will be fouled with hideous, dirty industrial equipment, and you and I won't see a shred of benefit. The huge, corrupt oil companies will make millions in deals that have already been quitely handed to them, and more land and water will get polluted in the name of profit. What an insanely filthy monster. You could argue that a lifetime of loafing, cronyism, coke-addled misdirection and having everything handed to you could breed a personality this vile and corrupt, but that doesn't begin to explain this character. How does somebody even get like this? Utterly sickening.

Add to this more pickup on the Whitehouse's fake news machine, and Tuesday's passing of mercury emissions standards that will actually allow industry to release *more* mercury, and allow them more time to comply with the weaker standards, while removing government mandated oversight and equipment, and removing current control rules for arsenic, cadmium and chromium emissions.

I'm amazed.
