Obama's EPA at work protecting the environment....
Government Executive reports that the EPA is telling their employees to stop pooping in the hallway. Yes, you read that correctly. It is not a joke. EPA employees are defecating in the halls. In addition to defecating, they are clogging toilets with paper towels displaying such animalistic behavior that one would wonder how they ever got a job in the first place.
The low-class and nonsensical actions are taking place at the Region 8 office in Denver. Government Executive obtained an email in which Deputy Regional Administrator Howard Cantor begs employees to stop these disgusting actions. |

Actually, it's easy to find.
Mr. BS directly quoted the TEA PARTY NEWS NETWORK.
But more interesting.... that's the ONLY place where article appears. Mr. BS could only have found it there. So, Mr. BS uses the Tea Party News Network as a primary reading source.
Says a lot about Mr. BS.
(Naturally, he didn't cite... which says a lot more about Mr. BS.)

I go to the YMCA and all the regulars are pumped up meat heads that start and end every sentence with "Bro" or "Brah"
What enquiring minds want to know is....Do Phd scientists walk around with their chests puff out and their arm hanging unnaturally to their sides? |
Richland, WA usually has the highest per capita rate of PhDs in the country, mostly engineers and physicists. This family gym has very few meatheads; most patrons are just (physically) ordinary people ranging from 10 to 100 years old trying to shed fat, get off the couch, or stay in shape for their sport. |

If you look at Pueno's post and look for its source, you find:
http://www.govexec.com/federal-news/fedblog/2014/06/epa-employees-told-stop-pooping-hallway/87223/
| Quote: | Environmental Protection Agency workers have done some odd things recently.
Contractors built secret man caves in an EPA warehouse, an employee pretended to work for the CIA to get unlimited vacations and one worker even spent most of his time on the clock looking at pornography.
It appears, however, that a regional office has reached a new low: Management for Region 8 in Denver, Colo., wrote an email earlier this year to all staff in the area pleading with them to stop inappropriate bathroom behavior, including defecating in the hallway.
In the email, obtained by Government Executive, Deputy Regional Administrator Howard Cantor mentioned “several incidents” in the building, including clogging the toilets with paper towels and “an individual placing feces in the hallway” outside the restroom.
Confounded by what to make of this occurrence, EPA management “consulted” with workplace violence “national expert” John Nicoletti, who said that hallway feces is in fact a health and safety risk. He added the behavior was “very dangerous” and the individuals responsible would “probably escalate” their actions.
Like GovExec on Facebook
“Management is taking this situation very seriously and will take whatever actions are necessary to identify and prosecute these individuals,” Cantor wrote. He asked for any employees with knowledge of the poop bandit or bandits to notify their supervisor.
EPA spokesman Richard Mylott provided the following statement:
“EPA cannot comment on ongoing personnel matters. EPA’s actions in response to recent workplace issues have been deliberate and have focused on ensuring a safe work environment for our employees. Our brief consultation with Dr. Nicoletti on this matter, a resource who regularly provides our office with training and expertise on workplace issues, reflects our commitment to securing a safe workplace.” |
Also there are additional stories about the EPA if you click on the highlighted points in the story.
It does sound like there is some funny business going on in the EPA.
When I see something that I find hard to buy into, I just look a bit to see if there is something to it rather than immediately dumping on the poster. Do your research and then if justified, go ahead and dump. |

| There's no poop bandit, it's just that there's a Taco Bell next door. I'd be pooping in the hall too. I would think the civil servants union would encourage that activity. Surely they do not expect them to stop browsing porn and walk aaaaaallllll the way to the bathroom. |

That's what reasonable, open-minded people do. Our dumpers' primary, almost unanimous, response to any facts or opinions contrary to their sheltered existence in the liberal enclaves, OTOH, usually comes from this menu:
1. You're a racist denier mofo child molester (but say that to one of them even in obvious, declared, mocking jest, and they try to get you evicted from the forum).
2. Your source is a far right whack job, therefore anything it says is inherently false (e.g., Keycocker about the Harvard School of Public Health, Snopes, the Census Bureau, et.al.; any of them about the most trusted news source on television [ http://tinyurl.com/kyqudh7 ]).
3. "You said ...". No, I didn't.
4. "You believe ...". No, I don't.
5. "You lie." No, I don't.
6. You must sail the way I demand. No alternative methods are acceptable.
7. Barack Obama is my hero, and nothing he can do including nuking the Vatican or replacing my life's savings with a government IOU will change that. |
