Dear Bobby Rush....

So you find it offensive that I don't care about steroid use in sports?

Let me then reaffirm my total disinterest in your opinion. I am paying over 3.25 at the pumps to make my hourly commute to work. I am paying almost 23% more in heating costs this year vs last as well as dealing with increases in other utilities and food costs. Not only don't I CARE about what professional sports figures who are making millions of dollars DO with their bodies, I find it offensive that YOU waste MY time and money on this in congress.

If you want to regulate "drug" use then turn your attention towards the huge meth industry that is thriving. Put some money into law enforcement and rehab treatments. Ben tobacco sales once and for all.

But PLEASE don't try to bullshit America with your concern for sports figures.


Bobby Rush is a senator from Illnois. He is the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection and made the comment today that those who find congress's obsession with this issue "elitists, the cynics and cultural critics".
He wants to move forward with meaningful legislation for the sports industry. I want him to move forward with meaningful legislation that will help the kids down the road whose parents were arrested for cooking meth.

Get some priorities, RUSH!

GOOD!! Pet Food Indictments

3 companies indicted in pet food case

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080206/ap_on_bi_ge/toxic_pet_food

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Two Chinese businesses and a U.S. company were indicted Wednesday in the tainted pet food incidents that killed dozens of animals last year and raised worries about products made in China.

Xuzhou Anying Biologic Technology Development Co., Suzhou Textiles, Silk, Light Industrial Products, Arts and Crafts I/E Co., and Las Vegas-based Chemnutra Inc. were charged in two separate but related indictments. The U.S. attorney's office in Kansas City said the tainted food led to the death and serious illness of pets in the U.S. last year.

One of the indictments charges Xuzhou Anying Biologic, located in China's Jiangsu Province, and Suzhou Textiles, in Suzhou, China, with 13 counts of introduction of adulterated food into interstate commerce and 13 counts of introduction of misbranded food into interstate commerce.

ChemNutra and company owners Sally Quing Miller, 31, a Chinese national, and her husband, Stephen S. Miller, 55, were charged with 13 counts of introduction of adulterated food into interstate commerce, 13 counts of introduction of misbranded food into interstate commerce and one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Couple of Predictions

If anyone had told me 3 months ago that John McCain would be the republican nominee, I would have scoffed. McCain leaves a bad taste in my mouth. He sold out to the Bushites by cow towing and pandering for their favor. He was spineless. I have no desire to vote for him BUT

I don't see Hillary as electable. If she wins the nomination then McCain will be our next president. Clinton is simply too divisive. She has always been seen as shrill and this campaign, along with her husband's tactics, has not changed that impression.

Obama is now neck and neck in the super Tuesday states. I sincerely believe if the democrats want to take the white house, they must nominate Obama.
