YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID. This from my email:

For those of you who have never traveled to the west, or southwest, cattle guards are horizontal steel rails placed at fence openings, in dug-out places in the roads adjacent to highways (sometimes across highways), to prevent cattle from crossing over that area. For some reason the cattle will not step on he "guards," probably because they fear getting their feet caught between the rails.

A few months ago, President Obama received and was reading a report that there were over 100,000 cattle guards in Colorado. Colorado ranchers had protested his proposed changes in grazing policies, so he ordered the Secretary of the Interior to fire half of the "cattle" guards immediately!!

Before the Secretary of the Interior could respond and presumably try to straighten him out, Vice-President Joe Biden, intervened with a request that before any "cattle" guards were fired, they be given six months of retraining.

This is obviously not real, but ... it does neatly encapsulate the growing lack of confidence in government by the Harvard-educated "elite."
