Classic shakedown. The mark makes $200 selling bunnies, USDA drops a $90K fine, and a US senator (up for reelection) swoops in to save the day. This is Chicagoland America. Karzai should be taking notes.

They are also crashing magic shows and fining magicians for using bunnies in their shows. The Federal Government REALLY hates fluffy bunnies.

The problem is pets or meat. If you sell rabbits as pets you need a USDA licsence. If you raise them for meat you don't. So he should have said they were reptile food. One might also ask why the pet stores buying from him weren't fined since I doubt they had the proper USDA papers.

The price of oil is down a little bit, but its still not enough. The average price in New York is still over $4 a gallon, and that is way too high says Chuckie.
Ready to set prices, Chuck? I vaguely recall that didn't work out too well for natural gas in - what?- 1976? Steel mills near Chicago had to shut down because what gas there was went to homes.
Now we have plenty of gas. Imagine that!

Socialist control freaks like Schumer will never understand one of the basic principles of the market - flood the market with the product and the price will drop like a rock. It's not the companies but the government that is restricting by over regulating the market.

I like how the raggedy chart Chuck is pointing at (jeez, Chuck, who's your graphics guy?) refers to "Big Oil Refiners". This is in contrast to micro-refineries? Or to Chuck's nephew Elmo who occasionally refines a few barrels using a combined cat cracker/ cappuccino machine he bought on Ebay?

I agree - lets find out why we haven't built a new refinery in over twenty years. Let's find out why the EPA mandates regional gas blends. Let's look at the effect of federal regulation on US oil production and fuel refining.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
