". . .at least equal, if not slightly better, than in Europe." VodkaPundit Here's some cheery progress from an unexpected front: The ninth annual Index of Leading Environmental Indicators shows that the environment continues to be America's single greatest policy success. Environmental quality has improved so much, in fact, that it is nearly impossible to paint a grim, gloom-and-doom picture anymore. Environmental quality is improving steadily and in some cases dramatically in key areas: Average vehicle emissions are dropping about 10 percent per year as the fleet turns over to inherently cleaner vehicles, including modern SUVs. Ninety-four percent of the population is served by water systems that have reported no violations of any health-based standards. There has been a 55-percent decline in toxic releases since 1988, even while total output of the industries covered by this measurement has increased 40 percent. Despite most popular assumptions, U.S. air quality trends are found to be at least equal, if not slightly better, than in Europe. Damn that Bushitler, for bashing Kyoto. Why, we could have had identical results, perhaps even marginally better -- and at a much greater cost and with lots more government. Stupid Republicans. vodkapundit.com

Of course, I would have voted for George Washington, you dummy, he ran unopposed both times! He did? multied.com multied.com Looks like he had plenty of opponents. FOX boozehound You're not doing at all well today. Maybe you ought to get odd the web and give it a rest. (1) I don't watch Fox. (2) I'd bet you drink more in a week than I do in a year. About that Washington quote: ycsi.net members.aol.com pennsmart.com lcrawfords-manymansions.com THere are more sources if you want them. Oh, and the question was not "Was George Washington a Deist?" I was long ago aware that he and a good many of the other Founders were. The question was "Would you vote for a man that said that?" You answered that he had no opposition, so you would have no choice. That having been proven wrong, what say you now?
