Tonight at 6pm I'll be keeping my weekly date with Hugh Hewitt, live coast to coast at 6pm Eastern/3pm Pacific. We'll be talking IRS, ISIS, HRC for POTUS, and all the other acronymic debris of the week.
EPA Employees Told to Stop Pooping in the Hallway
This is the Denver, Colorado EPA office, in case you're wondering. Confronted by feces in the hallway, the bureaucracy did what government usually does when it finds everything's full of s**t. It called in a "consultant":
Confounded by what to make of this occurrence, EPA management "consulted" with workplace violence "national expert" John Nicoletti, who said that hallway feces is in fact a health and safety risk. He added the behavior was "very dangerous" and the individuals responsible would "probably escalate" their actions.
So "workplace violence" on US Government property now covers everything from Major Hasan opening fire while shouting "Allahu akbar!" to environmentalist bureaucrats defecating. The government seems to take the latter more seriously than the former, judging from the EPA statement:
EPA's actions in response to recent workplace issues have been deliberate and have focused on ensuring a safe work environment for our employees. Our brief consultation with Dr. Nicoletti on this matter, a resource who regularly provides our office with training and expertise on workplace issues, reflects our commitment to securing a safe workplace.
There is, as it happens, a pronounced coprophiliac streak in the environmental movement. As I wrote in Maclean's seven years ago:
Sheryl Crow, meanwhile, recently proposed that when it comes to, ah, other waste products, her environmentally conscious fans should only use a single sheet of bathroom tissue per visit.-go to links-
