#3 EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy stated in a written release Friday that, We are proud to accept this responsible position as world citizens in owning up to the effects of our historical aggression with air speed.

This is a reprint of the Onion right?

Mother nature often exceeds the sound barrier as recently witnessed and felt by the citizens of Chelyabinsk Russia.

I'd accept the admission by the administrator that the EPA is official anti-human.

#4 "will be implemented and enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency"

Oh yeah, Lightning is faster than sound?
How you gonna enforce that?

Order Lightning to slow down? Sounds like Democrats.

#5 And this isn't The Onion?

Regulatory measures will be implemented and enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) out of Washington, D.C.

In short they are going to make up junk science, base some anti-business regulation on it and enforce it.

#6 I think after reading the last paragraph, the ultimate point is
1.Come up with a regulation goal
2.Decide which non-regulated regulation group will enforce it.
3.Make up a reason.

#7 Clinton cancelled the supercollider cause it was going to be built in red state Texas. Now, with the LHC operating in Europe, we come full circle and build a vastly inferior device in a blue state for all the wrong reasons. Oof...

#9 I just saw on the History Channel the other day - all I need to break the sound barrier is a bull whip!

#11 That's true {Wikipedia - yeah I know...] - the crack of a bullwhip is the tip of it breaking the sound barrier as it snaps.

There's a reason they didn't "step up".
