Toxic sludge? Bring it on!

The Bush EPA approves of BP's plan to dump toxic sludge in Lake Michigan. No doubt the Bush appointees who ruled on the matter will be suitably rewarded with lucrative corporate positions and stock options sometime in the near future.

Or perhaps it's not that simple. This is, after all, the same Bush EPA that informed us in 2002 that toxic sludge is good for fish. So perhaps this is part of a benevolent effort to help the fish by giving them more of that delicious toxic sludge.

Still... every time Your Humble Correspondent has visited Lake Michigan, he's seen multiple dead fish floating in the water. I wonder why.

Meanwhile, Bush's approval rating among non-incorporated persons continues to plummet. I wonder why.
