According to the Washington Post’s R. Jeffrey Smith, the White House is attempting to enact several new regulations that would work to weaken government protections for consumers and the environment.

“The new rules would be among the most controversial deregulatory steps of the Bush era and could be difficult for his successor to undo. Some would ease or lift constraints on private industry, including power plants, mines and farm”

The ship is sinking, Senator.

In order for you guys and gals to be informed about Senator McCain, you’d have to dig deep to discover the dirt and the truth. Thankfully, the Rolling Stone is a time-saver. Tim Dickinson (genius that he is)Â wrote a mini-biography of John McCain that could be consumed over a long lunch, all 27 printer-friendly pages of it.

I’m sure that many of you don’t have that kind of time on your hands. Luckily, I do.Â Read on forÂ a few insights into the senator’s hush-hush break-up with first wife Carol Shepp, hisÂ recklessness in the armed forces, and the temper that earned him a nickname “mean little f*cker.”Â

Warning: the article is explicit.

The gloves came off, so will the masks.

Jeff Yang of Salon.com is convinced Sarah Palin is the new and slightly upgraded version of George W. Bush. In “Sarah Palin’s real soul mate,” Yang lists the similarities between the double threat’s beliefs, opinions and political backgrounds. After suffering from nearly 8 years of President Bush’s policy, seeing Mrs. Palin’s speeches and debates, and after reading the article,Â it’sÂ difficult to disagree.

Palin and Bush are both equally stubborn in their religious and political beliefs, while they ignore the media that only wishes to shine some light into the dark corners of their closed minds. But if the McCain – Palin ticket were to be elected, Universe forbid, would they be worse or just as bad as Mr. Bush?
