Well, why isn't Boehner do something about it? I mean, Jesus fucking Christ, he's a fucking Congressman - Why doesn't he go directly to the Justice department and get an explaination? Why doesn't fucking Boehner put an end to this?
Seems to me like Boehner would be much better qualified to be making changes to the Lacey Act than the President would.

The ?Government Series? guitars start at about $1,000 retail and include a certificate of authenticity signed by Juszkiewicz, who maintained from the beginning that the company had done nothing wrong.
