Lead from China and Cancer from Popcorn

Lead in toys from China, again; Nuclear missiles fly over US; 9/11; and now Microwave popcorn causes Cancer... opps! So, Scared yet?

With so many things to be scared about theses day let me run down the latest in case you've missed your local news cast the past couple of days:

-More toys from Mattel are being recalled, this is now the third recall, due to high levels of lead in paint. While officials admit that the situation with Chinese made products is only guaranteed to grow because... and I'm not joking you. Most companies don't really test their foreign made products as well as they have all said they did. It turns out that Mattel is probably a bit of a good guy here taking the heat as one of the first company out there trying to actually be honest. Look forward to Chinese made products continuing to be recalled. Trust bitches. Oh and our president... still not putting pressure on China or the US companies to change anything. Surprise, surprise. Maybe that's because China owns about a third of our debt. I guess you really can't bit the hand that feeds you. Even if it's feeding you lead... in toys.. that kids play with.

-And then get this. After a four hour flight from North Dakota to Louisiana it was discovered upon landing that an Army aircraft was accidentally loaded with 6 highly sensitive nuclear bombs... yes, nuclear bombs. The bombs held six times the explosive power that blew up Hiroshima, Japan in WW2. Opps, y'all. No one knows how the mishap occurred but the Army is going to take some time on Tuesday to figure that out. Yeah, maybe you should. If TMZ.com can know where Lindsay Lohan is at all times I think the army should know where all the Nuclear weapons are at all times?

-Well you saw the clip, microwaved popcorn causes cancer, maybe... well it did in some rats, but no it's not conclusive... we are just gonna like, take a couple of years and see if it really does... you know... well cause that, we'll let you know.

Come on, of course microwaves are bad for you. Like your mom, or at least your tv mom always told you “If it's too good to be true, it's probably no good.” you shouldn't be able to make Mac and Cheese in 1 minute or defrost a turkey in 10 or whatever people do with microwaves. There retartedly unnatural. But do I still use one to warm up my almond croissant in the mornings, yes. While a lot of things in our lives are dangerous the real harm comes when we worry so much that we can't go one day without thinking “I wonder if they can fly Segways into a building?”

Tune out all of that media and use the intuition you were born with.

Oh one more thing,

Hillary Clinton's Sopranos parody that's been “leaked” all over you-tube is , for me, having the total opposite effect than it intents. Making her seem more like the robot from Mars bitch she is constantly claiming she is not. And worst off, kind of reminding me why I really loved the original Clinton.

Whatever. I still love the bitch. Hillary08!

And last thing. I'm getting kinda bored with tv producers using you-tube and other such sties as hype generators. I mean how many SNL skits are really that funny yet “Dick in a Box” is still the most viewed You-Tube video of all time. That's some shit. I just think the more we give in to these schemes the more power we give them and the less power we have at creating and viewing original content on the Internet. Before you know it You-Tube will look more like NBCCBSABC-Tube.

*Extra* Found this poem that aired on the Johnny Carson Show. It's beautiful. Take a listen...
