BUT WHAT DO I EXPECT FROM AN ADMINISTRATION WHO HAD ENRON WRITE ITS ENERGY POLICY? AND A PRESIDENT WHOSE GLOBAL WARMING PLAN ASKS CORPORATIONS TO CUT BACK THEIR GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS VOLUNTARILY?
AND A SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR WHO'S ITCHING TO LAY WASTE TO ALASKA FOR SIX MONTHS WORTH OF OIL AND A FEW JOBS?
I DUNNO, TONI. YOU'D THINK AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, I'D BE USED TO IT, IT WOULDN'T UPSET ME SO MUCH.
