Posted on May 1, 2009 by nothoney

The Center for Biological Diversity, among others, reported yesterday the the Endangered Species Act is saved from the Bush/Cheney midnight regulations designed to render it useless. However, Secretary Salazar took no action to quash the Bush/Cheney rules that allow oil and gas drilling in polar bear habitat. Honestly, why do presidents choose Interior Secretaries from [...]

Posted on February 27, 2009 by nothoney

I didn’t blog about the horrible events involving Travis, a captive chimpanzee, his human jailer, and the unfortunate woman he attacked because I posted a lot on my Facebook.

Bush/Cheney Attack Endangered Species – ACT NOW

Posted on November 5, 2008 by nothoney

I can’t wait for January 21 when I can stand on Pennsylvania Avenue and shout: “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Bush!” In the meantime we have a lot of work to do because, as I wrote earlier, the Bush Administration is attempting to deregulate just about every environmental and wildlife [...]
