Environmental Buddies? Secret Tree Huggers?

The Bush-Cheney Administration claim that they made the environment a top priority and site it as an accomplishment & result of their administration.

Sure, he did set aside 335,000 square miles of pacific ocean as a protected waters, but he still believes in sonar (which may be a leading cause of whale suicide).

Funny enough, in spit of his oceanic interests, the scientific community disagrees with the Bush-Cheney self proclamation of being green (somewhere, kermit and jim hensen are turning over in their graves... oh wait, kermit isn't dead in spite of wide spread reports of his demise). 

Kermit dies at Ozzy Osbourne's hands! Choked to Death!

Kermit calls it a day and quits the green movement!

They have to be kidding. I

They have to be kidding. I don't think President Bush is a bad guy, but come on. He is an environmentalist? That is a bit too much. I have always been supportive of our President, whomever was in office....I would hope the same people that made statements that we should support President Bush would stop bad mouthing President Obama....it is really un-American. Disagree without being disrespectful. I really do have hope that President Obama will do the right thing when it comes to the environment.

(FYI - your caption for Ozzy and Kermit should read - "Ozzy bites Kermit's head off") ;)
