SO MUCH TROUBLE IN THE WORLD

Top Five

Here are the top five reasons you should not vote for John McCain.

"Drumroll"

1) John McCain positions himself as pro-environment, but he scored a 0—yes, zero—from the League of Conservation Voters last year. We really don't need any more pollution.




2) The Children's Defense Fund rated McCain as the worst senator in Congress for children. He voted against the children's health care bill last year, then defended Bush's veto of the bill.





3) According to Bloomberg News, McCain is more hawkish than Bush on Iraq, Russia and China. Conservative columnist Pat Buchanan says McCain "will make Cheney look like Gandhi.




4) His reputation is built on his opposition to torture, but McCain voted against a bill to ban waterboarding, and then applauded President Bush for vetoing that ban.




5) ... And finally, Heidi Montag is going to vote for him*.




"Rimshot"

*However, it has been reported by credible sources that her breast implants have decided to cross party lines and vote for Obama.

Confucius say ... "The things you own, end up owning you" ... in bed.

U.S. toy-making giant Mattel Inc. said this Wednesday it was recalling some models of Polly Pocket, Batman, Barbie and other Chinese-made toys from Asian markets as part of a major worldwide exercise to remove the toys from shelves because of lead paint and tiny magnets that could be potentially swallowed by kids.




Chinese-made toothpaste recalled in June was found to contain a poisonous chemical used in antifreeze.




Union, N.J.-based Foreign Tire Sales recalled 255,000 Chinese-made tires on August 9 because they could suffer tread separation, about half the number originally thought to be defective.




A recall of pet food made with tainted China-made wheat gluten sparked panic in North America after dozens of confirmed dog and cat deaths in late 2006 and early 2007.




There really seems to be some very dangerous products on the market right now.

If we could only find the common denominator, we might be able to protect ourselves.

It's just so hard to find a connection.

What is it dammit?

What ... I ask you!




When you have a population of 1.3 Billion people, I guess survival of the fittest can be a good thing.

What really is the true cost of low prices?
