Do you ever get the feeling that this is the sort of creature you'd wind up with if you combined the recessive genes from the previous Bush with Dan Quayle?


"It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it."

President Bush talks the talk and walks the walk with his "Healthy Forest Initiative". Here we see him clearing a logging road with minimum wage workers. "This does two things", said Bush, "It creates jobs, and allows logging indsutries to cut down healthy forests before all that wood burns creating a big forest fire and damaging homes." "Now we can effectively reduce the budget in the BLM, because there will be less forest fires, and, combined with the tax revenue generated by these new jobs, and the taxing of the lumber, we can create cool sounding things like 'No Child Left Behind', refuse to fund the initiative, and spend the money waging war against some dud in Mozambique who's name I can't pronounce."

"... I've also ordered the Secretary of State to develop a new initiative to help developing countries stop illegal logging, a practice that destroys biodiversity and releases millions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere."
-President George W. Bush, Global Climate Change remarks, February 14, 2002.

The president further elaborated on his plan by stating the following: "Our initiative with these foreign countries is to show them how to make illegal logging legal, kind of like we do here in the United States. Once you circumvent the law, and open the protected areas, then it's legal, and OK. Now those governments can save those trees from the ravages of forest fires by cutting them down legally."

President Bush tours a National Forest to illustrate the dangers that his "Low Hanging Tree Limb Initiative" will eliminate. According to Bush "trees that have limbs that hang more than 3' from the ground will be cut down immediately. Thos trees pose a threat of falling down on people, and aiding the start of forest fires. I call them 'Hardwoods of Mass Destruction', and we will eliminate this threat immediately!"

President Bush makes a speech illustarting the dangers of trees that hinder views of National Monuments. "These trees disallow our youth to see things like the Washington Monument. They also may catch fire and destroy homes, and are a huge risk to our national security. Therefore, i have ordered Chairman Ridge to allow lumber companies to harvest all trees surrounding monuments in order to keep our homeland secure from the evils of forest fires, and allow our children to see the symbolic strategery behind these big buildings."

President Bush tours Sequoia National Park before giving a speech on his "Big Trees Initiative". In his speech, the president explains his reasoning behind the initiative. "You see, big trees, like the sequoia, have less leaves and more trunk. This dangerous ratio allows the trees to produce less oxygen, and more bad emmissoins should they burn in a forest fire. This threat shall be eliminated in my plan, and I vow to cut all these dangerous, non-productive trees down before they destroy the future of our children with the imminent threat of forest fires."

Here we see President Bush viewing a forest under Threat Code Orange. "We have accurate information that Al Queda is scheming to burn this forest down in an act of terrorism. In order to protect the people and thier homes from this imminent threat, we have ordered this forest to be logged immediately. Chairman Ridge and several patriotic logging companies will cooridante thier efforts to rid our great nation of this threat and make our citizens safer."

President Bush, after receiving this threatening message for the Al Queda Branch of Eco-Terror has offered a $1,000,000,000,000 bounty on the head of the illusive "Smokey the Bear". "This Smokey Bear is a threat to our National Security. Not only does Al Queda try to illicit somking for our children, but they outright threaten to save forest from fires, which is in direct contrast of our "Forests of Fear" initiative that paints forests as nothing more than time bombs waiting to burn homes and children. The only way to prpoerly prenevt forest fires is to cut the trees down. As a result of this threat, we are asking all boyscouts and girlscouts to cut down a tree when they go into the forest."

George Bush illustrates to the American public what to do when American Citizens encounter dangerous "trees". "I have ordered Tom Ridge to inform the public that, when encountering the threat of trees, you should wear gloves and safety goggles. This will protect you when you cut the tree down. These trees are the "terrorists of the forest" for they can be used by Al Queda as fuel for forest fires, and, it has been reported that Al Queda use the wood to make arrows. Please use proper safety techniques when cutting down trees, and thank you for keeping this great nation safe."

President Bush views a tract of forest 'fire-proofed' with several Park Tree-Threat Deforesters (formerly known as Park Rangers). Bush states "as you can see, we have much more trees to cut to eliminate the threat of forest fires, but as you can see from this photo, we are working on it. The tract of dirt will no longer pose a threat to our citizens, and will allow us to more easily hunt for the other threats of coal and oil below the ground."

The frightening thing is that it appears to be an accurate depiction of policy.

Cut down trees to save forests.
Lift emission controls to reduce pollution.

No one has given credit to President George W. Bush for preventing the greatest environmental disaster of the 21st century.

The Iraqi's were prepared for a massive air campaign as a prelude to war. Iraqi security forces were in place to sabotag the oil fields.

President Bush sent the 1st Marine Division into Iraq on day one to capture and protect the massive Az Zubayr oil fields.

Mission accomplished.

FACT - Mark Rey, a former logging industry lobbyist, is the Undersecretary of Agriculture, and in charge of our National Forests.

Here is his email, in case you have any feedback for him: Mark.Rey@usda.gov

or, you could call him. Maybe he can hear you over the roar of the chainsaws:
