Bush just halted ethanol requirement is speech *about* ethanol (+AP spin)

Bush Eases Environmental Rules on Gasoline



Easing the environment rules will allow refiners greater flexibility in providing oil supplies since they will not have to use certain additives such as ethanol to meet clean air standards. The suspension of oil purchases for the federal emergency oil reserve is likely to have only modest impact since relative little extra oil will be involved.

The high cost at the pump has turned into a major political issue, with Democrats and Republicans blaming each other for a problem that is largely out of Congress' control. Republicans are worried that voters paying more than $3 per gallon would punish the party in power. Democrats want to make that happen. (HUH? is that a quote or is that... oh I see read on...)

--skip one paragraph---

The president said Democrats in the past have urged higher taxes on fuel and price caps to control fuel expenses, but he said neither approach works. Instead, he called for increased conservation, an expansion of domestic production and increased use of alternative fuels like ethanol.




Set against a backdrop promoting ethanol, President Bush delivers a speech on his energy plan in Washington, April 25, 2006. (Kevin Lamarque/Reuters)

1. The top pic -- are those DILDOES?
And at first I thought that RFA stood for Righteous Fucking Asshole.

What a crock of shit that whole display was. He won't do a damned thing, then suddenly, in a day, he comes up with a "four point plan."

996 points shorts of even Poppy's dim goals. This man is a total, utter loser. Like anyone believes his "four point plan" was anything more than the shit they had hobbled together for this scheduled talk anyway -- they just hastily got the blast fax out that it was now about his "energy plan."

Fucking liar to the core.

8. "see you can use ethanols, but you don't have too...
Edited on Tue Apr-25-06 12:08 PM by Javaman
but you can, but you don't. You see, it's like if we had the ethanols in the first place, then we could use it, but since we don't, we don't have to. It's plain and clear. Once the ethanols is in the gas then we can use it, but since it's not, we won't, but remember if it was there, then we would all use it in our conservations. Clear?"

Ahhhh, ahhhh, my...head...growing...hot...explanding...ahhhh...exploding!!!

You know sometimes, I just want to walk over to moron* and just give him a swift kick right in the ass. that would feeeeeeel sooooooo gooooood.

11. No, but it's a scary world where we have to question whether is or isn't.
Now that is terrorism.
