President Bush, with his stellar 32% approval rating, decides that the best way to ease gas prices (something he is now identifying as a "security risk," a phrase which has apparently turned into the administration's favorite label for everything from illegal immigrants to crazy Iranian presidents) is to suspend environmental regulations on gasoline production.

Um, sure. Maybe an easier way is to walk into Dick Cheney's office and say "hey Dick, can you and your pals maybe not cornhole the American public so obviously when you're still posting record profits?"

Or maybe he's still walking next door to plead with Dick, and repealing the environmental regulations so he can say, "hay guyz look! Those treehugging regulations were the reason you were paying so much! Har!"

And this is my newer, less-cynical self writing.
