Some good stories about American red tape

For some informative but also entertaining news about regulators' excessive zeal across the Pond, in spite of Mr Obama's efforts, you should visit the Heritage Blog, which has published 12 stories on particularly aggravating cases. The last (published yesterday) is "Regulatory Grapes of Wrath", on a bill in Congres that would allow states to prohibit consumers from making interstate purchases of wine. I must say that as a European, I find this idea completely alien to my view of the US, and the other 11 are just as good.
