Obama administration scraps Bush logging plan

By GottaLaff

That's what we're talkin' about:

The Obama administration on Thursday scrapped the Bush administration's last-ditch attempt to boost logging in Northwest forests by scaling back protection for the northern spotted owl.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said Thursday that a plan to increase logging on federal lands in western Oregon could not stand up to challenges under the Endangered Species Act. He said the Department of Interior would develop new measures protecting the spotted owl.

Removing the Bush stain makes you feel clean and sparkly all over.
