  • I just realized that I typo'd, and meant This story just won't stop rewriting itself!

  • I was wondering if this was some kind of update, but no. . .

• One of the first things Romney should do if elected is abolish the EPA by executive order. It was created by one, it can go away by one, & it shoulod be the first of many federal agencies abolished that we no longer need. We cannot afford them & they are unconstitutional anyway. By that account, it's really criminal activity, & should be looked into under the RICO laws.

• Seriously, would Romney have the chops to rein in the EPA? I doubt it. Most Republican politicians have balls the size of electrons.

• May Dick Nixon roast in Hell for creating the EPA monster. I already loathed him for the silly 55mph speed limit that ruined driving pleasure for 22 years of my life. The bastard!

• I'm thinking they've been smoking the pixie dust--could explain their irrational behaviour.

  • I hear that they get their dust from angels, at least the Gay Choom Gang {G.C.G.} did.

• Unicorn farts, pixie dust, hair of a dragon and Phoenix feathers!

• Don't forget the pixie dust!

• We need to have a fine on stupid, agencies like the EPA would De-fund themselves.

  • Nah, they'd just go to Congress with their hands out, asking for money to pay the fines. Congress would give it to them.

• The BO Regime writes yet another Romney campaign ad. Mighty generous of them.
