Wasn't that fair housing act put in place under the Clinton administration? If so, shame on that adminstration. And Bush had years to ward off the results.

The Bush administration was blocked in 2001 by Dodd when they attempted to put more regulations on Fannie and Freddie.

Better watch that tea party talk or they'll bring Janet Reno back to show you who's got the tanks and flame throwers. I can see the news articles now:

"A band of eccentric internal conbustion and carbon spewing cult members have staved off authorities at a Provo, Utah manufaturing facility for almost 2 months now...

Their leader, a man by the name of David Kirkham eluded capture by EPA agents after attempting to apprehend him on multiple carbon emission violations, all first degree felonies punishable by 10yrs hard labor restoring "urban art" in downtown locations of cities like Chicago and Detroit.

After a spectacular high speed persuit Kirkham, joined by several other cult members began sonic attacks on several federal buildings damaging almost all pictures of our glorious leader hanging from all but the highest floor walls and disrupting vital phone communications. Damage to many computer systems also occured from the sonic shocks, rendering the agencies inept from lack of direction by leaders in Washington, Detroit, Chicago, or Paris. The group then retreated to Kirkham's production facility which is believed to be housing massive amounts of banned hydrocarbon fluids stored in secret underground tanks.

Authorites tried standard practice of ending the standoff with flood lights and sound bombardments to the facility, however the suspects then erected huge plates of mirror polished aluminum effectively driving back agents. The suspects then countered with high volume 60's style music which damaged many sub-woofers installed in Federal vehicles and rendered inoperative all hydraulic suspension systems.

It's widely believed that authorities are at a loss as to what measures to take next as agents are reluctant to attempt entering the facility after confirmed sightings of several pallets of canned chili and kegs of beer were delivered prior to the stand-off..."

Ah, what the heck. Sounds like fun.

I think we're on to something here!

Ahhh! I enjoyed freedom today. Fired up the Cobra and took it out for a spin. Damn I love that car! I've probably exceeded my monthly limit on CO2, so what do I do for the rest of the month.

Thanks David and all.

Buy more carbon credits like the companies can. Then you can drive all you want. The way things are going I am thinking of investing in a Cobra Bicycle that uses non polluting tires and wearing no clothing as that is also made of polluting elements. And I won't be riding up to see Warren and Tru right now either.
