More bad toys - sad

This in the news today:

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mattel Inc.'s Fisher-Price division is recalling almost 1 million toys made in China because their paint may contain too much lead, marking the latest in a string of recalls that have fueled U.S.-China tensions over the safety of Chinese products.

Mattel said the 967,000 plastic toys, which include popular preschool characters like Elmo, Big Bird, and Dora, were made by a contract manufacturer in China using a non-approved paint pigment containing lead, which is in violation of its standards.

Why are all these dangerous products still coming in? We have had bad pet food, bad people food and bad children's toys. No one seems able to stop them because no one is monitoring our safety! We have few person who do the actual inspections - in fact there are fewer food safety inspectors than back in 2002 and we import more and more stuff - with fewer and fewer inspections!

This from an administration that pretends to be concerned with public safety - when they are in reality more concerned with scare tactics and keeping people afraid.

After all - Fear is good for republicans...

Impeach and Disbar Gonzo

This man[?] should never have been allowed to practice law and after his impeachment he will forever be barred from being near anything that has to do with legal matters..... after he gets out of jail for his part in the criminal matters he has orchestrated during his tenure as the shrub's lawyer and as the AG.

He is either a fool, brain damaged, a lackey, uncaring, a perjurer, on drugs, drinking - or all of the aforementioned.....

The I words!

Hmmm ...
the I words are appearing on many fronts.
Impeach, Independent Counsel, Investigation

So many criminals, so many choices, so many I's floating in D.C.

If we get to choose, which I would you start with and for which criminal ????
