EPA GOES AFTER YOUR BARBEQUE



The Environmental Protection Agency is studying emissions from backyard barbeques, suggesting that they be fitted with catalytic converters among other things.  They are studying the human effects of breathing fumes from gas and charcoal grills and the resulting air pollution.  They are also discussing an emission removal scheme which includes the use of a secondary air filtration system composed of a single pipe duct system containing a specialized metal filter, a metal fan blade, a drive shaft, and an accompanying power system with either a motorized or manual method.  

COMMENTS:
E.P.A. agents might employ drones to fly over backyards and measure emissions, sending electronic notices via satellite to armed task forces which would descend upon your house in tanks and wearing flak jackets.  Maybe we should sick them on Iraq and have them shut down artillery fire on the battlefields; that would be one quick way to defeat I.S.I.S.  When is all of this Orwellian government horseshit going to end?  Haven't we had enough yet?  

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Do you think the email and foreign contributions scandals will keep Hillary from being the Democratic nominee?  Who else would they pick? (Prentice ~ Logan, UT)
A. It’s now or never for Hillary, and she’s been working hard at positioning herself for this run ever since Bill left office.  On the other hand, if she runs and loses by any substantial margin, that would be total embarrassment for the Clinton machine.  I look for her to announce her candidacy very soon and to back out for “health reasons” if she’s not gaining sufficient traction.  As for alternatives, look to John Kerry and his cornucopia of Purple Hearts and Bronze Stars to try it again, especially if Hillary does falter. 

Q. Holder vowed that he would dismantle the Ferguson Police Department if necessary.  How can he do that to a non-federal agency?  (Pauline ~ Lynnwood, WA)
A. Technically, he can’t.  But, he could deny federal funds to the City, State and the police department or he could sue them for civil rights violations.  He could also make it illegal to buy a cop a cup of coffee. 

Q. Did I hear that Native Americans are asking the city of Buffalo, New York, to change its “racist, insensitive name?”  (Melinda ~ Bellingham, WA)
A. Yes.  And, as I understand it, city fathers are considering the name of “Upyours.”
