Gem of the day

Can someone tell me what's wrong with the following scenario:

"The coal industry, facing a host of new health and safety regulations, is spending millions of dollars in lobbying and campaign donations this year to influence the makeup of the next Congress in hopes of derailing what one industry official called an Obama administration 'regulatory jihad.'"

I'm going to go ahead and award the current popularity of Islamic terminology in American political circles Most Awkward Energy-related Situation this month. It's especially rich considering that the Chamber of Commerce, that most venerable of business institutions in the US, is funded by a multitude of Middle Eastern interests from the Bahrain Petroleum Company to Gulf Petrochemicals Industries Company.
