My favorite gov project was an emergency underground pipeline replacement: Carpenters go in the ditch to build shoring. plumbers then put in the pipe, carpenters go back in the ditch to take apart shoring. …..Safety! (really happened)

Nah! This is a link to tunnels at California’s southern most border. Jose is really an undercover Border Agent willing to hand over Mexican Cartel bosses’ to 10 (undercover) administration members from Holder’s DOJ. This operation is dubbed…Slow & Pissed.

Now, ask yourself, who’s pissed? Jose? 11 DOJ undercover administration members? Holder? Napolitano? or Axelrod (get’s a cut from all the ‘action’)?

The point is well taken, though it would have been nice to use a photograph that looks like it was taken in California. If I am not mistaken, the gentlemen in this photo might come from a FORMER peoples’ republic and Jose’s name is more likely to be Jozsef.

Even more serious is that there isn’t an OSHA approved safety officer inspecting the excavation. This is obvious from the fact that the excavation is not sloped properly according to OSHA standards (1/1/2 foot slope for every 1 foot of depth of the excavation) without shoring or shields.
