bush: mean sneaky bastard to the end

President Bush's final acts in power, which he has held to the end to make it more difficult to over turn, will make it easier for coal companies to dump waste from strip-mining into valleys and streams, ease the building of coal-fired power stations nearer to national parks, allow people to carry loaded and concealed weapons in national parks, open up millions of acres to mining for oil shale, allow healthcare workers to opt out of giving treatment for religious or moral reasons, thus weakening abortion rights, and hurt road safety by allowing truck drivers to stay at the wheel for 11 consecutive hours.
