<p>Richard Nixon made lots of mistakes, but his worst was the creation of the EPA. In addition to regulating carbon dioxide - you know, what you exhale - they also regulate milk spill clean ups. No, I'm not kidding.</p>
<p>But Rep. Candice Miller is trying to bring some <a href="http://candicemiller.house.gov/2011/02/miller-eliminate-epas-designation-of-milk-as-an-oil.shtml">common sense</a> to the madhouse that is the EPA:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>WASHINGTON &ndash; U.S. Congresswoman Candice Miller (MI-10) today reintroduced legislation directing the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) to change their designation of milk as an environmental hazard. Under the EPA&rsquo;s current rule, milk is considered the same as oil, and if dairy producers do not comply with the EPA&rsquo;s rule then they will be subject to punitive damages. Last year, the EPA announced a one-year extension specifically to address requirement for milk and milk product containers within EPA&rsquo;s Oil Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure program, which directs producers to have an oil spill prevention plan by November 10, 2011 &ndash; however, to date a finalized rule exempting milk has not been made. Miller&rsquo;s legislation will prohibit enforcement of the EPA&rsquo;s regulations on dairy and dairy product producers, processors, handlers and distributers, and it would require the EPA to implement this exemption within 30 days of the legislation&rsquo;s enactment.</p>

<p>Hard to say if she'll suceed - Obama's administration is filled with radical idealogues. But can we end the government hostility towards everyday items like lightbubs and milk? Really, is this the best use of their time, annoying the U.S. citizens that put them in Congress?</p>
