Mmm! Mining waste! Dee-lish!

The dinosaur media hasn't exactly been on top of this story, has it?

I saw a blurb in the online version of the Cincinnati Enquirer today about Ralph Nader's ballot efforts in Ohio, and it mentioned yet another Bush fuck-up that I don't remember seeing anything about. According to this article, the Bush regime unilaterally gutted the 1977 Clean Water Act by letting mining waste get dumped in streams and wetlands.

So we're drinking mining waste now.

You mean the Decider's "unitary presidency" has fouled our lives yet again? This is like Bush's efforts to gut the Endangered Species Act or his illegal rule by decree that sapped EMTALA and promoted patient dumping.

There has been little coverage of any of these diktats, because why would the media want their friend Bush to take the blame for these things?
