Study: Fewer polluters punished under GWB

Dec 9, 2003 12:32PM PST
Fewer polluters punished under GW Bush, data show.
(You have to use the "GW," because the highest level of persecution was under george Bush the First).

I wonder how many Nader voters still think "they're essentially no difference between Bush and Gore when it comes to the environment."

BTW, that reminds me of the story about the linguistics professor lecturing his class about universal inguistic characteristics. Said the prof, "While in many languages a double negative is treated as a positive, there is no language in which a double positive is treated as a negative."

From somewhere in the back of the room immediately came the comment, "Yeah, right!"

The 'new counting methods' has a nice, Orwellian sound to it.
