    "The Feds Under Our Beds", By James Bovard, The New York Times, 9/6/1995
 
    The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission went after a small metal shop
    that it claimed hired too many Hispanic and Polish-American workers and
    not enough blacks. The panel forced the company to run advertisements in
    Chicago newspapers inviting blacks to file claims for compensation, EVEN
    IF THEY NEVER APPLIED FOR A JOB WITH THE COMPANY.

    Several of the 451 people who filed claims had been IN PRISON at the time
    of the company's alleged discrimination, but the commission FORCED the
    company to give them WINDFALL PAYOUTS anyhow.

    Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, a strip club was shut down
    because its stage area was "not accessible to a stripper in a wheelchair."
