California, Go F#%& Yourself!!!

Undaunted by low poll numbers, Darth Cheney has used his powers to influence the EPA to deny California's bid to tighten it's pollution standards beyond what the new energy bill would mandate. The Governator has vowed to sue in federal court, along with 17 other states that were poised to enact the stricter regulations.

Inside sources have confirmed there was a meeting between auto industry exec's and the Dark Lord, apparently looking to get a return on their campaign contributions one more time before the crony capitalist Star Destroyer sets sail for Dubai.

The EPA Administrator/mindless stooge Stephen L. Johnson ruled to block California's waiver, the first such instance since 1975. In fact, under the Clean Air Act States are permitted to set their own air pollution standards provided they obtain a waiver from the EPA. After an unusually long two year wait, he denied California's request a mere 8 hours after President Bush signed a federal energy bill that sets somewhat less stringent standards for all 50 states.

Even the EPA lawyers and policy experts suggested that granting the waiver would be the best course of action. They concluded the EPA would loose in federal court, citing previous instances in California and Vermont. The EPA decision seems so manipulated that US Rep. Henry Waxman, Chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has announced he will investigate the matter.
