Not That I Want To Die In Any Particular Way . . .

. . . but this isn't one of them: "FORT WORTH - A contract worker was killed this morning when he was struck and dragged beneath an asphalt paving machine during a project at South Hulen Street and Overton Plaza." (Source: Star Telegram online addition posted today at 10:56 a.m. )

An unfortunate accident, but here is what could happen.....

Somehow the federal government must be responsible. Dang Bush should have anticipated this happening. He was probably out jogging when it happened.

Here's what we do. Investigation of OSHA will reveal that the administrator must be some Bush crony. And I bet he owned some Haliburton stock once so we can blame Chaney, too. Maybe Harriett Miers drove down that freeway once so that will make unfit to serve because her firm represented the paving company 20 years ago.

And the lawsuit of course. 1/3 of the family's award will go to the lawyers (they get enough to last the rest of their lives but they lose a third off the top.), lots of exemplary damages to send a message to evil old big business.

Then we adopt all kinds of new regulations about equipment operation and manufacture.

A day in the life
