[From article]
Is there anything unluckier than a razorback sucker? Tough enough to be an endangered species of freshwater fish, but now Obama’s EPA is drowning it in a sea of toxic poison in New Mexico.
Yes, the razorback sucker is on the ropes, along with its finny friend the Colorado pikeminnow. But because Obama’s staggeringly incompetent administration created this disaster themselves, they have little interest in organizing either a cleanup or a posse.
Like drone attacks on civilians in Syria, it’s not an outrage, or even news, unless Republicans can be blamed.
Plus, as George Orwell wrote, “All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
[. . .]
This latest idiocy from the Obama regime began when the Environmental Pollution Agency bulldozed into a long-sealed mine. Three million gallons of toxic waste cascaded into the Animas River. It looked like a torrent of Orange Julius, only poisonous.
What were they thinking, you ask? They were thinking: Never let a crisis go to waste. The EPA can now justify its bloated budget and workforce. More jobs for more Beverly Scotts. Can someone say Superfund?
[. . .]
This is a regime that always paints the bleakest picture imaginable, at least if it can blame Americans, Christians or the private sector. The worst economic crisis ever! No Plan B for Iran! Ban coal — it’s our final chance to save the planet! It’s settled science! It’s settled law! At least if we say it is.
