The United States Department of Justice pulled back, giving a 60 day extension for all public pools in the country, including every hotel in the country, to comply with regulations requiring wheelchair ramps. I'm not entirely sure what happens once the wheelchair goes in, or how they are expected to accommodate electric wheelchairs, or if this is some elaborate joke that ends with thousands of handicapped people named Bob. The only thing these regulations would accomplish is a flood of lawsuits against public pools (most likely hotel chains, having the deepest pockets), giving a stimulus of cash to plaintiff and defense attorneys. It is this kind of ridiculous central planning that makes me wonder if the handicap lies not with the paralyzed, but in the minds of the regulators. I'm sure the hotel chains are lining up to donate to President Obama for that generous 60 day exemption. File this one in the category of so ridiculous, it can only be government.
