This week's "manufactured outrage" is supposed to be at Glenn Beck...

So this 150% is just a bunch of BS.

I guess they should banned Sports in PE. That where the majority of the injuries come from.

So trying to blame Bush for this.

Let me guess - Haliburton has gone into the swingset business and GW required all playgrounds to switch to their swingsets during his administration?

Yep! CLEARLY all GW's fault! Just like everything else that has gone wrong with the world!

"GWB's play structures of death"!

As a child, the playgrounds of parks and school used to be our Elysian fields, but now, owing to the Republican Bush admin's regulatory orgy of destruction they have become no more than a tomb of the mutilated

The more you rant about it though, and the more you amp up the rhetoric, the more I'm starting to think you actually DO believe this crap

"Such a system is downright evil," Palin wrote on her page, which has nearly 700,000 supporters. She encouraged her supporters to be engaged in the debate.

The claim that the Democratic health care bills would encourage euthanasia has been circulating on the Internet for weeks and has been echoed by some Republican leaders. Democrats from Obama on down have dismissed it as a distortion. The nonpartisan group FactCheck.org, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania says the claim is false.

hey're just a liberal construct used as a mouth piece to try to give credibilty to the wacky left... Well, they have no credibility with me... WHO is fact checking fact check anyway?

LOL - well if "factcheck.org" says it - then it MUST be true! LOL! Just like their "facts" about the NRA, Obama, gun control, Obamacare, etc, etc, etc... They're just a liberal construct used as a mouth piece to try to give credibilty to the wacky left... Well, they have no credibility with me... WHO is fact checking fact check anyway?

Somehow, I kind of think industry and capitalism would survive.

While all that may be absolutely true... What she just does NOT understand is that it is also something commonly used each and every day all over the world. In fact, factories and manufacturing facilities around the world would have to SHUT DOWN if they stopped using it, or be forced to spend more money to find an alternative solvent. We simple cannot afford that in this economy... Also just the fact that is often found in baby food, that does not necessarily mean it is dangerous, if it were, I'm sure the FDA would have banned it by now...

FDA Seeking MORE Money From Drug Industry


The FDA is negotiating with the drug industry over a possible user fee increase which, if it goes through, would give the industry even more in setting the goals and priorities of its supposed regulator.

Industry user fees were first introduced in the early 1990s in an effort to help speed up the FDA's approval process; prior to that, the FDA had been funded entirely by Congress.

But steadily rising payments have led to drug makers funding more than half of the FDA's drug review process, giving them immense clout in determining how the agency is run.

Drug makes renegotiate the fees with the FDA every five years, meaning they can have a great deal of input regarding which programs will receive funding. Regulatory agencies do not normally need to negotiate their budget with the industries they oversee.

I saw a video the other day of a woman collecting signatures to ban dihydrogen monoxide. She claimed it is linked to thousands of deaths every year, contributes to soil erosion when sprayed on crops, is commonly found in cancerous tumors, has also been found in baby food, can cause severe burns in it's gaseous form, and is also used in animal research facilities during testing. In fact, if accidently inhaled in sufficient quantities it can cause almost immediate death....

Requiring manufacturing, food production, and other plants to change solvents would be COMPLETLY cost prohibitive, and totally unneccesary...

The added cost would dry up profits for shareholders, in an already HORRIBLE economy, and could even cause many of these plants to go under. Some literally would be unable to FUNCTION without it's use, at least cost effectively anyway...

Yeah, whatever... back to the topic... the death machine that was the Republican Bush admin.

Well deaths caused by dihydrogen monoxide FAR outnumber these playground deaths... and I suppose THAT is George Bush's fault too - right?

While it may be true that dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, tasteless, has no smell, and can be inhaled without you even being aware of it, and it IS true that sufficient quantities of it CAN and WILL kill you - that has NOTHING to do with George Bush

Well, STUPID shareholders would not be able to figure out how to invest in an alternative that doesn't kill people.

Smart investors would put their money into plants that replaced those that insist on using a product that kills people.

Evil investors don't care about people losing their lives as long as there are profits.
