- Some of you will remember my previous rant, Behind the
Curtain, which talked about the media illusion Bush projected during his
speech at that small business last week. If you didn't read it, it can
be found here:

- I believe that Washington Post writer Al Kamen has found
the Smoking Gun to impeach the Bush Administration.

-
- * Seems the person who did this, said by the White House
to be an "overzealous volunteer," may have committed a federal
offense.
-
- Covering up the "Made In" labels is against
the law, a violation of venerable Title 19, Chapter 4, Subtitle II, Part
1, Sec. 134.11, which "requires that every article of foreign origin
(or its container) imported into the United States shall be marked in a
conspicuous place as legibly, indelibly and permanently" as possible,
"in such manner as to indicate to an ultimate purchaser . . . [the]
name of the country of origin of the article."
-
- Further, "any person who, with intent to conceal
the information . . . defaces, destroys, removes, alters, covers, obscures,
or obliterates any mark required under the provisions of this chapter shall
-- (1) upon conviction for the first violation . . . be fined not more
than $100,000 or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both. . . ."
A year in the slammer?
-
- Mr. Kamen made a minor error in his article. The correct
citation of USC Title 19 is actually USC Title 19 Chapter 4 Subtitle II
Part II Section 1341, Subsection (a), (b) and (c), but nevertheless, Mr.
Kamen is BANG ON.
