wHOA, HELLO! This is a must-read folks.
And thank you mad miles for bringing it up in a previous unrelated thread! It is the kind of headline that i imagined would have had me snoozing before the end of the first paragraph/sentence.
A sample:
"President Bush has signed a directive giving the White House much greater control over new rules and policy statements governing public health, safety, the environment, civil rights, and privacy. (By) executive order...each agency must have a regulatory office run by a political appointee to supervise the development of rules and documents providing guidance to regulated industries.
As a result the White House will have a gatekeeper in each agency to analyze the costs and the benefits of new rules and to ensure the agencies carry out Bush's priorities.
This strengthens the hand of the White house in shaping [i]rules that in the past were often generated by civil servants and scientific experts."
(PD 1/30/07 "Bush Tightens Controls On Rules, Page 1) - courtesy of m.m.
As i read between the lines it's sounding everyday more and more like Nazi Germany here in the good ol' U.S. of A. Heil Bushler! And i made the connection (again?) with that vaguely squirmy feeling i get when i see those trucks blasting down the road with the giant american flags whipping in the wind. All i saw was a swastika drenched in blood and billions of dollars of pilfered US Warbucks. And if this is what the front page of, essentially, the new york times is telling us - what they WANT us to know - I shudder to imagine the things they ARE NOT telling us...
This is just one man's opinion here folks, doubtless shared by many but by no means all. It's starting to get scary (again). I keep hoping that "this too shall (hurry up and) pass".
One thing is for sure: no one here gets out alive.
