… pour used oil in your mouth.
Well, not literally. But Congress might, if the EPA doesn’t cut this crap out:
The Obama administration is warning Congress that if it doesn’t move to regulate greenhouse gases, the Environmental Protection Agency will take a "command-and-control" role over the process in a way that could hurt business.
The warning, from a top White House economic official who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity, came on the eve of EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson’s address to the international conference on climate change in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Oh really?
Did you forget, Lisa, where your operating budget comes from?
That would be Congress.
Guess who can close your agency – in an afternoon?
That would be Congress.
Threatening them – assuming this isn’t just more kabuki theater intended to divert public anger from the skull-<censored> that is about to be served upon them – is rather unwise.
Should this not be just another game of misdirection and should Congress (e.g. Sensenbrenner and other reasonable minds on The Capitol – clearly in the minority, but heh, there are a few) decide that your pie hole makes a good used oil receptacle I’ll drain my CO2-producing boat engines just to make sure they have plenty to use for this purpose.
I wouldn’t want the dirty oil to be in them, you know…..
