So...since the EPA is suggesting that people wash their hands and a liberal certainly could not have thunk of that, then the EPA must be a conservative organization. Correct?

This thread is hysterical...

"Oooooo, there's this report that beach sand might not be great for children!!! Fargin' government!!! Now they're gonna force us to wear wet suits on the beach and they're gonna pave it over with epoxy!!! BASTARDS!!!"

"umm, actually the EPA is just letting everyone know what they found. You can make what you want out of the info they provided.."

"Errrrrrrrrrrr..... Ummmmmmmmm..... Yeah, the COST!!! THAT is what I'm upset about!!! How DARE they spend MY tax money on such a study... "

LOL!!! You couldn't even make up your mind what upset you about it... Just saw EPA and figured it was another reason to whine...

If you can't see how insanely stupid this study is then your more lost than gilligan ever was.

They can't keep the beach clean.
They are proposing you wash your hands after digging in the sand.

Gosh it's a wonder any of us are alive if you went to the beach as a kid.
How many gritty, sandy sandwiches did you eat ?

I don't recall getting sick after going to the beach though.
Must be pollution has caught up with us.

A better job for the EPA is how to prevent this crap from happening in the first place.
Wash your hands...shakes head.

I don't believe they've studied the impact of chipmunk farts on the environment as of yet.

Personally, I'd like to know how many times a worm takes a dump per square foot of soil.

Altruistically...

I would think this would be simple matter of having a federal judge grant an injunction and restraining order against crabs, turtles and sea gulls. No defecating or urinating within 100 miles of a public beach.

I do believe that would be more than sufficient, until such time as the National Institute of Health can have a few dozen more tax-payer funded Jell-O parties and figure out a way to teach crabs and sea gulls to use public toilets. Perhaps that was the whole point of spending money to watch shrimp on treadmills.

Also, given the urgency of the situation, I would recommend that the Obama Administration issue no-bid contracts to Haliburton to build public toilets for crabs and sea gulls, and in the interim, issue a no-bid contract to Academi, formerly Xe, formerly Blackwater, to provide security services and enforce the restraining order against the crabs and sea gulls.

Proposing....

Evil Haliburton. That would create quite the dilemma for the moonbats. They would be helping out the poor little crabs and sea gulls and providing a public service to keep the beaches clean but on the other hand they are evil. Hmmmm what to do............
