Under cover of legislative darkness, behind our backs, in the metaphoric dead of night, OSHA recently proposed new “explosives safety.” Their workplace safety regulation “update” pertaining to explosives impose restrictions that sellers of ammunition could not comply with.

OSHA defines “explosives” to include “black powder, … small arms ammunition, small arms ammunition primers, [and] smokeless propellant.” This classifies ammunition and components in the same hazardous category as the most volatile high explosives.

Since legislating still more laws against guns is a no-brainer in today’s political climate, the OSHA liberals are trying an end run by going after ammunition as a workplace hazard.

Fortunately, observers noticed this little sneaky, trick play and managed to throw it for a loss.

Happy July 4th, everyone. Despite our flaws, our problems and a Congress that has its collective head deep in the hat it’s sitting on, I am eternally grateful for this country and the bravery of the men and women who fight for us even though some of them must be demoralized and disillusioned by the slow pace of progress in Iraq.

And because this is such a great country, stuff happens. Like:

Some people are shocked, shocked I tell you, that President Bush commuted Scooter Libby’s prison sentence. In the world of liberal moral equivalence, it is time to remind ourselves of some of President Clinton’s pardons:

Italian talk show hostess

If we were, we could turn on the television and catch this hostess of an Italian talk show.

Instead, get this.

What we get

Personally, I don’t think it’s fair. We’re a bigger country, hornier and can appreciate beauty more than the Italians, who’re surrounded by it every day … except for those ladies with the mustaches.

The state doesn’t get it. Out goes a strong liberal senator, Joe Lieberman, because of one issue — Iraq.

No small issue, to be sure, but one that has obsessed the hate-filled leftists of MoveOn, Michael Moore and George Soros — to name just a few misguided, unpatriotic cowards.

Lieberman was a man nominated by acclamation six years ago to be the Democrat vice-Presidential candidate. Good enough for that, but not good enough to represent his state, where the sons of the wealthy Darien residents can boast that they’re the toughest kids on the pond.

Running to Ned Lamont, the very wealthy Democrat who bashes Wal Mart while owning thousands of their shares, were the usual Democrat cowards, Kerry, Bayh, Clinton, Lieberman’s co-Connecticut Senator Dodd. One thinks if this had been a battle to the death, these vultures would be picking pieces out of Lieberman’s body.

Massachusetts, home to the double K’s, Kennedy and Kerry, liberal voice of the poor and downtrodden has just spit in the face of their soldiers.

Shades of VietNam, where liberal anger about the war spilled over onto hate for the poor soldiers sent to fight it. As if they were responsible. But that is the liberal mindset — blame and attack anything if you’re unhappy about something in particular.

Yesterday, Massachusetts lawmakers adjourned and left unsigned Mitt Romney’s bill to allow an tuition fee waiver for returning GI’s. They said they didn’t have the time to vote on the issue.

However, there was time to pass educational fee waivers for illegal immigrants.

Perhaps if soldiers declared that they were gay and intended to marry the vote would have turned out differently.

The loony left, led by their cheerleader-in-a-three-piece-suit, Howard Dean, once again displays a hypocrisy unmatched in current affairs. Last week, Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean called Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki an “anti-Semite” for failing to denounce Hezbollah. Never mind that al-Maliki is representing a country teetering on the brink of stability, buffeted by political winds of all kinds, enduring terror daily, al-Maliki is condemned by Dean for doing what prime ministers do as a matter of course — sidestep reporters’ questions on sensitive issues when some answers could inflame an already combustible situation.

A British study has concluded that a woman can tell from a man’s face whether he’ll be a good parent to her children, making him husband material. The problem is that the woman can also tell from his face that he’s somebody she doesn’t want to f**k.
