Bush really is a horrid man. I worked at a chicken plant long ago. it was only OSHA that kept life semi-sane. The chickens went by at 70 a minute. depending on the function, there were either 2 or 3 of us doing a task. They (the owners) tried to up it to 90 a minute. I will leave it to your imagination some of the tasks involved between the death of a chicken and it looking like it does when you get it in the store, but imagine that with 2 people that is 35 repititions per minute of... oh, say... taking the lungs out. You realize you don't have lungs inside your chicken? That's cause someone takes them out. so... imagine trying to take out 45 per minute? it was OSHA stepped in and with our union said 35 per minute per person was quite enough. As it is, your hands only last so many years before arthritis sets in. Sick man. i think I hate him. I really honestly do. and dumping stuff in the streams from coal mines. yes, I hate him.

You gotta love Dumbya. The sooner he leaves this planet the better off we all are. One rule would allow coal companies to dump rock and dirt from mountaintop mining operations into nearby streams and valleys. Another, issued last week by the Health and Human Services Department, gives states sweeping authority to charge higher co-payments for doctor’s visits, hospital care and prescription drugs provided to low-income people under Medicaid. The department is working on another rule to protect health care workers who refuse to perform abortions or other procedures on religious or moral grounds.
