The Obama administration is setting new workplace regulations to assist foreign workers who fill goat herding positions in the U.S. , including employee-paid cell phones and comfy beds. These new special procedures issued by the Labor Department must be followed by employers who want to hire temporary agricultural foreign workers to perform sheep herding or goat herding activities. It describes strict rules for sleeping quarters, lighting, food storage, bathing, laundry, cooking and new rules for the counters where food is prepared. “A separate sleeping unit shall be provided for each person, except in a family arrangement,” says the rules signed by Jane Oates, assistant secretary for employment and training administration at the Labor Department. “Such a unit shall include a comfortable bed, cot or bunk, with a clean mattress,” the rules state. Diane Katz, a research fellow in regulatory policy at The Heritage Foundation, unearthed the policy in the “Federal Register,” the massive daily journal of proposed regulations that Washington bureaucrats publish every day. Under the Obama Administration, the nanny state has imposed 75 new major regulations with annual costs of $38 billion. “This captures what is wrong with government,” Katz said. “I could not have made this up.” With unemployment holding steady at 9% and government regulations adding more burden to small businesses, such as those run by ranching families, Katz said, bureaucrats aren’t helping. “Instead of remedying the problem, the regulations make it that much harder,” Katz insisted. “We may need a whole set of regulations just to define what a comfortable bed is. I imagine it’s not straw.” The new lighting standards say that in areas where it is not feasible to provide electrical service such as tents or mobile trailers, lanterns must be provided. “Kerosene wick lights meet the definition of lantern,” the regulations say. “When workers or their families are permitted or required to cook in their individual unit, a space shall be provided with adequate lighting and ventilation.” “Wall surfaces next to all food preparation and cooking areas shall be of nonabsorbent, easy-to-clean material. Wall surfaces next to cooking areas shall be of fire-resistant material,” the regulations say. “It makes you wonder,” Katz said, “how they ever did this before the government got involved?” “Who knew we needed all of this federal help for herding goats?” Katz quipped.

I'm hoping they made it a regulation that KY is mandatory for those herders who really love their goats.
None of us can truly be free until foreign goat herders have comfortable beds.
Harrowup would be pleased, as would goatboy gatlin.
I checked out LP this evening. There was some poster, "Hop Sing" doing some cool stuff; I was laffing my ass off at that place. Was that you? Funny as ALL HELL!
Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal. The goat's owner, Mr Alifi, said he surprised the man with his goat and took him to a council of elders. They ordered the man, Mr Tombe, to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars ($50) to Mr Alifi. "We have given him the goat, and as far as we know they are still together," Mr Alifi said. Mr Alifi, Hai Malakal in Upper Nile State, told the Juba Post newspaper that he heard a loud noise around midnight on 13 February and immediately rushed outside to find Mr Tombe with his goat. "When I asked him: 'What are you doing there?', he ... libertysflame.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi?ArtNum=85 Zero comments on the above thread because Obama failed to provide the hi-speed internet connections that he promised the goat herder invaders. Mitt will get em hooked up with yukon and the admiral! Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
