Grants Pass, Ore. (AP) -- A federal appeals court has reaffirmed that muddy water running off logging roads after rainstorms is pollution that requires a special permit from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

9th Circus, but you knew that, didn't you?

[Paladin2]

A lot of folks with dirt roads are going to be in trouble.

[BenLurkin]

Insanity

[TheBattman]

So - when do the arrest warrants for God get drafted and signed? After all, each and every time it rains, muddy water is generated, thus God is a “polluter” by the 9th Circus’ ruling.

I’m waiting...

[blackdog]

So the next time Mount St. Helens is gonna blow, who does the mountain need to see for a permit? Who gets fined when rainsoaked hillsides slide a river of mud into the valley?

Grants Pass is an odd homogination of hardore hippies and hardcore antigovernment survivalists. Very little in the middle moderate bunch.

[Dead Corpse]

Drop and asteroid on them.

Seriously. Someone needs to plug their plug, sequester their carbon, cap their CO₂ output, ect...

Get on it people. What are you waiting for? Permission?

[bgill]

God’s fault.

CCR:

“Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of myst’ry pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who’ll stop the rain.”

[MsLady]

Oh brother!!! Can we say that the 9th Circus court is full of hot air and thus is causing global warming?

[BykrBayb]

If they covered it in asphalt, would that solve the problem? ; ~ )

[RickB444]

So they are saying that we are living on a huge ball of pollution then?

So anything that comes from the Earth should be considered pollution?

Liberalism is insanity.

[Cyber Liberty]

This means the Mississippi River is by far the largest source of pollution of the Gulf of Mexico.

[GeronL]

Does the judge know that roverbeds are often made of dirt??

[I see my hands]

"Get on it people. What are you waiting for?"

Your leadership?

[Joe 6-pack]

A thousand years from now, future nations will look back at the failed American experience and draw the lesson that the insane and mentally defective should not be elevated to positions of power and authority.

[okie01]

So - when do the arrest warrants for God get drafted and signed? After all, each and every time it rains, muddy water is generated, thus God is a “polluter” by the 9th Circus’ ruling.

All across the fruited plain, there are literally hundreds of aptly-named Muddy Rivers, Muddy Creeks and Muddy Lakes.

Who, pray tell, is going to pay for this egregious affront to our environmental sensibilities?

[Dead Corpse]

If they are waiting on my leadership, they are missing the point.

[delchiante]

Let’s not ask for an asteroid for the state of goofier.. I work in the state some.... I live in goofy, the state to the north of goofier.. and of course have called the state below goofier, known as goofiest, home for some years before... not all out west deserve a slap to the head :)

[I see my hands]

I was talking more about you than they.

[Dead Corpse]

Only needs to be big enough to take out Sacramento... That’d solve about half the Countries problems right there.

[Dead Corpse]

I don’t live in CA. Wouldn’t go back even if lucrative remuneration made it tempting.

We have our own problems up here.
