Let's look at the idiocies. First, it's Idiocy The Lesser:GRAND RAPIDS -- Having watched the oil gushing in the Gulf of Mexico, dairy farmer Frank Konkel has a hard time seeing how spilled milk can be labeled the same kind of environmental hazard.
But the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is classifying milk as oil because it contains a percentage of animal fat, which is a non-petroleum oil.
Dudes, it's milk. Like, it's biodegradable. Never seen a pelican die from a milk bath. Srlsy, you're idiots.
Bit that's not the big deal. Idiocy The Greater:
Ever wonder why just about every state has milk price supports (minimum prices)? The Milk Lobby is not to be trifled with. And we see it in action already: Michigan Senate demands EPA change rule reclassifying milk.
Not the Texas State Senate. Not the Utah State Senate. Not Red State reaction. Michigan is one of the bluest of Blue States. The EPA has them in revolt. In the lead up to what's already looking to be a disastrous November for Democrats.
We're told never to mistake malice for incompetence, but this level of incompetence - coming fresh on the EPA's gross failure to inspect the Deep Water Oil Rig - is simply unbelievable.
To steal Bill Clinton's line about Jessee Jackson and apply it to Obama: He don't know how to run anything but his mouth.

Parts of Michigan are blue and the UAW still has some pull, but out of the south east corner and a couple of college towns, we are a fairly conservative lot.
When malice and incompetence both result in the same outcome, either way is evil. Period.
Saw this the other day. It just boggles the mind what is happening in this country.
Sheer stupidity is on the rise and it was let loose for real Jan 20, 2008....
And it cannot end soon enough.
