Must Be Friday

The Bush Administration has made a habit of announcing controversial policy formulations on Friday afternoons -- reasoning that any resultant furor would be dimmed by the news cycle's weekend snooze. The practice seems especially pronounced with regards to environmental policies.

We saw two such examples last week, and this week comes another: "The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said yesterday it will not regulate dioxins in sewage sludge used as farm fertilizer..."

Your mouth is watering already, isn't it?
