Worthy cause of the day, submitted by Barry: The MoveOn.org petition “Make our toys safe”. Please sign and tell your Congresspeople you want the government to do its job protecting our children. You may also want to consider boycotting products from China, such as toys, when an equivalent product is available from a less-offensive country.
Today’s news and commentary, which will be extra-long since I did not post anything yesterday, doubly so since Barry submitted a few things:
- “The New China”
- “Bush political hackery puts kids at risk”
- “The Independent's Foul Play”
- “Warner Bros. Follows the Yellow Brick Road” (In related fake news, Princess Ozma has banned Todd McFarlane from ever setting foot in Oz. The Gnome Liberation Organization, however, has hailed McFarlane’s Oz aspirations as “our best hope at winning the propaganda war against those namby-pamby do-gooders in the Emerald City.”)
- “US kills controversial anti-terror database”
- “Tougher US immigration leading to 'reverse brain-drain': study”
- “Tenn. Nuclear Fuel Problems Kept Secret”
- “1 in 4 in U.S. report not reading a book in past year” (Shameful!)
- “T-rex versus Beckham? Sorry, David, you're lunch”
- “Science Blogger Sued for Unfavorable Book Review”
- “Nothing Says "Early Earth Was Cool" Like World's Oldest Diamonds”
- “Success of abstinence in cutting teen pregnancies is a 'myth'”
- “Gaza's Public Workers Paid to Stay Home”
- “Flushing Out a Record of Local Drug Use” (I cannot make this up!)
- “First genome transplant changes one species into another”
- “Baucus proposing free college tuition” (Great idea.)
- “Bangladesh demos spread; curfew imposed”
- “Sales soar for morning-after pill”
- “Report Faults CIA For Pre-9/11 Failures” (Wasn’t the CIA fingered years ago?)
- “E-voting predicament: Not-so-secret ballots”
