Once again, products coming from China are found to contain a deadly poison. In this case it is inexpensive children’s jewelry sold at Walmart’s and Claire’s which has been found to contain cadmium which is being used as a cheap replacement for lead which has been outlawed.

A Little Bathroom Reading?
We all like to keep something to read in the bathroom. Maybe a copy of Good Housekeeping, Redbook, or Cosmopolitan. Or maybe a a three day old copy of the Daily News. Whatever it is, it’s usually something you can pick up and browse through while you are… thinking. Anyway, it [...]
Be Not Afraid
When it was announced that some of the criminals involved in the World Trade Center attack on 9/11 were going to be tried in New York City, I was thrilled. This is exactly where they should be tried. Just as Timothy McVeigh was tried in Oklahoma City, these animals should be tried at [...]

I stole this from Glenn Greenwald because it is too funny.

But recently he clarified this view with the “what if the guy knows where the atomic bomb is” logic. It is this logic that the Bush administration used to justify torture in the first place. It may [...]

Dr. Thomas Milhorat
The NY Daily News has been leading an attack against the doctors (Dr. Thomas Milhorat and Dr. Paolo Bolognese) who performed surgery on Michel for her Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia. Today I sent a letter to the editor in response. I doubt that the Daily News will publish it because they only print letters that [...]
Patenting a Hole
I love The Register. It’s an IT newspaper from Britain with the slogan, “Biting the hand that feeds IT.” They are always finding great stories in the IT world such as this one.
Apple has been great at applying for patents for virtually anything having to do with the iPod, but this is really [...]
