Bush Takes Over the Government

I'm rather pissed off about the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), which Mr. Bush is party to. More on SPP in another posting, but you can always look that up yourself. I digress. This story, dated 1/26/07, from Press Esc. Here's a excerpt: United States President stealthily took over the Federal Government last week through a new executive order last week that takes away all autonomy from Agencies, according to public interest organizations. The order amends a series of previous executive orders that culminated in Executive Order No. 12,866, which the White House has used to give itself the power to review regulations before they can be officially published in the Federal Register. The new order applies the review power not just to regulations but also to what it calls “significant guidance documents.” (I'm just reporting. You decide.)
