Lash these badge-happy moronic investigators to a corner lamp post in Fallujah and let them experience how it feels to be targeted by terrorists.

...and one might ask, so what? Is it any business of anyones how a business is done or run as long as it is honestly?
And in other news-Sun will now rise in the east.
Along with all the other restraints that are his job, but he fails to uphold.
In case nobody else gave you a PING.
"President Bush needs to uphold our Constitution by enforcing the limits on the power of the federal government, especially in regard to the "police powers" authority of the E.P.A."
Don't hold your breath.

BTTT!!!!!!!
In other words, gasoline. Gasoline contains a good fraction of hexane.
The new city fee comes compliments of the federal government, according to city manager Eric Sorensen. As part of an effort to control nonpoint source water pollution from runoff, the federal government is looking at putting water-quality standards on the discharge from city storm sewers. Runoff from lawns, streets and parking lots can carry a wide range of contaminants, including dog droppings, lawn chemicals, fertilizers, gasoline, oil and an assortment of litter.
Councilman Dieter Mielimonka said when the charge is billed there should be a note added to every bill -- "This charge due to a federal mandate."
If it was true that this was due to a federal mandate then why isn't every municipality doing it?

Got to drive a steak through it's heart. I'm telling you.
Same reason that not every business in America has been forced to comply with the ADA (Americans With Disabilities Act). We don't have enough lawyers.
It's just a matter of time, though. There are more lawyers in law school than there are practicing law today.
I hope he fries the b@st@rds.
I went through this same sort of thing in the early 70's when the EPA first got going. A bunch of sanctimonious do-gooders out to save the world from filthy capitalists like me.
A disgruntled, ex-employee and it was off to the races. We'd never even had a lost time accident. Didn't matter. Made us spend a fortune into bringing in our entire operation into compliance with some of their 'we don't know for sure if this is a hazard or not but we want to be sure' regulations.
This was well and fine for the supposed safety of our workers, and would have even been fair and equitable if all of our competitors were forced to do the same. Of course, they weren't.
The rise of liberal do-good fascism in the US.
Their Gestapo-like tactics and their protection from any recourse was especially galling.
That's a mighty discouraging thought. I think we have some 600,000 practicing lawyers the last time that I looked, and over 2,000,000 people employed in the legal area.
Ballooning that already too-large number further is just an impediment as far as I am concerned.
