Washington Puts Rush Job on Killing Endagered Species

In a rush job to get through all the comments and concerns people have over the endangered species act Department of the Interior Officials appointed only 15 people to review all of the text and gave them just thirty two hours to do it in. That isn’t four standard business days type of thirty two hours, that is a day and a third total. If they want to kill the baby seals and polar bears I am not sure why they didn’t just say screw it and outsource their extinction program to Sarah Palin. I am sure if she shoots something with a shotgun it won’t be an accident.

WASHINGTON – Rushing to ease endangered species rules before President Bush leaves office, Interior Department officials are attempting to review 200,000 comments from the public in just 32 hours, according to an e-mail obtained by The Associated Press.
The Fish and Wildlife Service has called a team of 15 people to Washington this week to pore through letters and online comments about a proposal to exclude greenhouse gases and the advice of federal biologists from decisions about whether dams, power plants and other federal projects could harm species. That would be the biggest change in endangered species rules since 1986.
The fact is all our resources are limited, including our wildlife. There is no need to rush through this in the waning days of a presidency. Not only is it irresponsible, it is possibly criminal. I would like to see a stop to this kind of political bullshit that can’t be done during the regular political season. I would like to propose a new executive powers amendment that would require any executive branch department decision made within the last one hundred and twenty days of an administration temporary unless signed off by the incoming administration within the same one hundred and twenty day period.
