It's a very good thing I don't make a living by cooking up bizarre claims, cuz I've got the imagination for it.

The study said reducing pollution by one-third could save up to 20 lives a year.

20? They want the entire state's ag base gutted for 20 people? How much would it cost to move them by comparison?

Of those 20, how many were on death's door? Anyone who would die because of marginal amounts of airborn dust must be on pretty close to the edge already.

Environmentalists said the agency had been overly influenced by the beef producers.

Man, that's the whopper of the night! It could well take me hours to regain my composure after that one. Yep, the EPA's just been roped by we crazy Cowboys, folks! The fix is in, I tell you! Just wait 'till we come back for the USDA...

I wonder when the FEDS are going to tell me I can't drive down the dirt road to my house. I wonder if they are going to outlaw children from making mud pies since they stir up the fine dust(it makes the best pies).
