Pretty big, if I say so myself. Well, I was walking by the tank, when my pants pocket caught on the delivery valve, and some milk began leaking out.<br /><br /><b>Reporter</b>: A disaster!<br /><b>Milkman</b>: I suppose. Well, that EPA man in that kiosk over there, the one assigned to me, he saw it pretty fast, and yelled at me to turn off the valve. Sure, I did that quick.<br /><br /><b>Reporter</b>: How much milk spilled?<br /><b>Milkman</b>: Uh, about five gallons, I think, but those three EPA inspectors over there will know the exact amount by the end of the day, they say.<br /><br /><b>Reporter</b>: Are you in trouble?<br /><b>Milkman</b>: They say that I have to pay a fine, and file a plan for wearing different pants, so that this can't ever happen again.<br /><br /><b>Reporter</b>: I also see a Fish and Wildlife team. <br /><b>Milkman</b>: Sure, something about an endangered earthworm. Life sure is complex these days. And those other guys are checking the ground water.<br /><br /><b>Reporter</b>: Thankfully, a disaster was averted.<br /><b>Milkman</b>: Yeah, I just want to start operations again in two days like they promised. Those cows are getting upset.<br /><br />- -<br /><a href="http://easyopinions.blogspot.com/2010/06/epa-purity-of-essence.html" rel="nofollow">EPA Purity of Essence</a><br /><br />A collection of stories about the bonehead decisions of our EPA and government about handling the oil spill.

For instance, if you review the ABA v. the FTC over the red flags rule, you will find out that the FTC put out regulations that would declare an extremely large number of people to be credits. Who would be a creditor under this rule?

AAAHHhhhhh!! EPA deems:<br /><br />Milk = oil (petroleum, since it contains "fat")<br />CO2 = pollutant (exhaled by people)<br /><br />What's next? Drinking water = government-owned environmental resource, rationed by EPA? O2 = toxic pollutant (it is toxic to plants)? Reduce the CO2 levels by controlling the population (like, say, China...)?<br /><br />The EPA needs to be dismantled. They are environmental thugs exercising tyrannical control over the people. I believe Obama, and the other Alinskites, saw this one a while ago. Use these non-accountable-to-Congressional-oversight ginormous agencies to implement by fiat their agenda.DINORightMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067345219054999889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-58345840535047839132010-06-25T09:35:27.019-04:002010-06-25T09:35:27.019-04:00So, um, the EPA is crying over spilled milk?So, um, the EPA is crying over spilled milk?A.W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10876021589516844048noreply@blogger.com
