Supe - have you been listening to Air America again? I ask because it is grammitically incorrect to imply that the "environment" is having a "bad week". The environment is not a living being and is therefore incapable of having a 'good' day, a 'crappy' day, or a 'bad' day. Abusing grammatical rules for the specific purpose of denigrating a political party is a really cute trick though ......
