Item 1: Future indicators. Keep a sharp eye on the bond yield curve. It is now essentially flat. If it inverts, head for the exits.
Item 2: You think goverment shouldn't be in the bedroom, how about in the bathroom?
Flush with the right to sit down in peace
Here's a noble cause even Republicans should recognize:
The feds, on their way into your bedroom, want to stop at the bathroom to make sure you don't flush your toilet or take a shower in a politically incorrect way.
ÿÿÿÿÿTo quote Dave Barry, "I am not making this up." There's a provision in the 1992 Energy Policy and Conservation Act requiring that new toilets installed in your home be limited to 1.6 gallons of water per flush, that showers have a flow rate of no more than 2.5 gallons per minute.
ÿÿÿÿÿThe idea is to save water, even in the places where there is no shortage of water. Flush your john wrong, or go to bed squeaky clean, and you can be fined $2,500.
ÿÿÿÿÿThe only people who like this new regulation are Al's environmental freaks, who long ago got used to smelling bad, and discovered they liked it. And the federal regulators, of course.
To quote David M. Anderson, " They will take away my toilet when they pry it off my cold dead butt!" |
