Lousiana Oil-Sucking Barges Shut Down By Feds

The barges that Jov. Bobby Jindal deployed in the Gulf to help capture some of the oil were shut down by the Coast Guard. The reason? Even though the barges have been proven to work,

The Coast Guard needed to confirm that there were fire extinguishers and life vests on board, and then it had trouble contacting the people who built the barges.

I expect to see more of this nonsense with Obamacare, like a heart surgeon being forced to shut down during an operation because the Dept. of Labor wants to make sure the hospital janitors are being given their proper 20 minute breaks.
