#2 You can have my barbeque tongs and brined pork when you take them from my cold, dead hands.

#3 Regulators live to regulate. If the serfs are mostly following the rules, they will look for something else to regulate.

#4 Hmmm. Time to make an example out of some EPA regulators. I'm thinking, spitting them and slow roasting over a bed of Mesquite coals just might get the message across.

#5 I think it's just a study (so far) & not actual regulation. And focussed on 'big' barbecue operators' exposure to harmful smoke and chemicals, not casual back yarders (so far.) Not (yet) an attempt at more power, just a way to justify a job by doing a 'study.' There is a HUGE amount of that kind of thing in government.

#6 As Instapundit is fond of saying, tar and feathers. Maybe they could do a study on the environmental effects.

#7 They finally gave up on trying to stop cows from farting?

#8 No one forces Congress to provide appropriations for any executive branch department or agency. Where's the graft in doing that?

#9 The bureaucracy is literally a cancer. A fire and forget menace for politicians, now too lazy to even bother to subjugate the population. Once in place they only grow, continuously seeking and expanding self justification and power all while expanding and worsening any issue they were established to cure. Tar and feathers?
That which could be construed as a threat deleted. We do not say such things here. It causes problems for Fred Pruitt.

#10 Now if they could only regulate the amount and strength of bullshit coming out of the EPA itself...

#11 This says the EPA is way over staffed.

#12 Coming soon: Regulations on wood-burning fireplaces.

#13 Already have regulations on wood stoves.

#14 The Left is anti-human. Understand that and the rest makes sense.

#16 Its time to abolish the EPA.
Fire everyone in it.

Design a new agency whose rules must be approved by Congress by a two thirds vote after mandatory hearings in Congress.
Review of ALL old rules to stop things like protecting snail darters, at the expense of farmers.

#17 ...you forgot to include removing judicial review to include the declaration that any judicial action constitutes 'bad behavior' per authorization for impeachment.

#18 Maybe a mid-level administrator is vegan and tempted annoyed by the smoke from his neighbor's grill? (Probably Glenmore is right, though.)

#19 We need a "sunset" amendment to the Constitution: all laws, agencies, taxes, regulation, etc, expire 5 years from the date they first were put into existence, except for the defense department, the supreme court, the office of the president and the Congress.

#20 Budget-busting, Too-Costly + Too-small serving Spicy Snails, versus Hotdogs Steaks + assorted Manly Tailgate.

Yuup, its a tuffie for the Goobermint.

Thusly ... ...
