Excretory Waste is Good for You 

Bush's EPA has just decreed that "pollution" under the Clean Air Act doesn't include carbon dioxide, hydroflourocarbons or other greenhouse gases. A Bush contribut--er, auto industry spokeserson explains:
"Why would you regulate a pollutant that is an inert gas that is vital to plant photosynthesis and that people exhale when they breathe? ...That's not a pollutant."
I look forward to new regulations relaxing prohibitions on the release of untreated sewage into our water supply just as soon as Waste Management Inc. divvies up its tax cut with the RNC.

BTW, under sec. 302(g) of the Clean Air Act, carbon dioxide is indeed defined as a "pollutant." But you knew that.

YABL.
