The State of our Environment? Not so Good.

Get your popcorn folks - it's time for a presidential address. Tune in tonight to hear about the state of our union. Pay particular attention to how many paragraphs are devoted to our environment and, more importantly, think about how many of the statements are actually true. No matter how good Bush is at naming his initiatives (healthy forests, clean air, etc.), the truth is he is the worst environmental president in history.

Rumor has it he may even be touting nuclear energy as the answer to our dependence on foreign oil! And you can bet most of the speech will be devoted to the "war on terror." Someone needs to explain to our fearless leader that nuclear plants = terrorist targets. He can't have his cake and eat it too.

For a laugh, check out this mock State of the Union address.
