I love the taste of deadly neurotoxins in the morning Looks like there's finally going to be some justice for the people of Flint, Michigan, following the lead poisoning of its water: three officials have been charged with crimes, although so far the Emergency Managers who approved the switch to corrosive Flint River water, and Gov. Rick Snyder, who appointed the idiots who made the switch, continue to walk free. But at least this is a start:
I think the people responsible for getting Snyder elected in the first place should "grow a pair" and accept responsibility for it :) Lookin' at you, Berners: http://www.nytimes.com/2010...

"Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?" works quite well. Then you try to call the minions back but they're already gone, then when they kill the priest you say you didn't mean it and throw them under the bus. Easy!
Maddow reported in her show on Monday night two interesting pieces to this story:(1) The house that Gov Snyder has taken his month's worth of water not to drink and certainly not to bathe in has been tested several times a month for the past three monts and has the requisite water filter. The test results show most outcomes of being in the 3 to 6 ppm range well under the 150 ppm that are a cause of concern. Although one day in March it tested at 263 ppm revealing that the pipes can suddenly leach large quantities of lead into the water. Here's hoping that karma is real.
(2) She interviewed the investigative reporter that has been pursuing the story. He stated that he had asked a representative of the governor's about the decision to switch the water. The spokesperson said that it was Detroit that threw Flint off of their water system, which was a lie. It had not. Here's hoping that investigations lead to the good governor himself.
(3) The state is not kicking in any money to help in the replacement of the pipes. That's nice. They've left the mayor to raise the funds and organize the work on her own.
In theory, a one-time exception would only take a simple amendment.

While Snyder isn't roasting in hell (yet), good that at least three people are having their nuts a vice. Let many more.
Yes. If there are additional federal statutes under which they can be charged.
Start with the easier proof, the people who performed actions, and then pressure them to roll.

that hoopy frood really knows where his towel is!
Slowly I turn, step by step...
Forget walking on water--standing upright on a fish is what's impressive! ;0-)
