The Usual Unequal Treatment

I'm sure you'll remember Al Armendariz - the EPA regional administrator who made the comment about 'crucifying' oil and gas executives to make examples of them, much like the Romans crucified their enemies. He was forced to resign.  Now we hear that a North Carolina man was visited by armed agents from the EPA .... yes, the Environmental Protection Agency, for requesting the contact information for Armendariz.

First of all, why the hell does the EPA have armed agents??? Something is wrong right there. There is absolutely no need for it - this country already has too many different law enforcement entities .I was in downtown Washington, DC recently and noticed that the Government Printing Office has its own police force. Please... the GPO? What's next? I'm afraid to speculate because whatever agency I mention probably has a police force already.

But I digress. Getting back to the visit by the EPA jackboots - this gentleman, Larry Keller, wanted Crucify Al's contact information so he could say hello. From the report on Fox News:

The agents visited Keller's home in Ashville, N.C. on May 2 to ask him about the email, which after some misunderstanding Keller acknowledged sending. He said after a brief, tense discussion about whether the missive might seem suspicious, the agents, who were escorted by the local police, left despite Keller ask them to stay to his wife could witness their visit.

 "The charter of the EPA is to protect the environment and public, not to act as a quasi federal police department," Keller said Saturday.

Today we come to find out that HBO used the likeness of former President George W. Bush as the decapitated head on a stake in it's series "Game of Thrones"

So.... when will the Secret Service be visiting the creators of this series over at offices of HBO?  Don't hold your breath
