I have not blogged about recalls before but the numbers here are staggering and could kill a kid...so..here is something that might be of value or interest to you: L A Times reporting that Toys R Us, Babies R Us are recalling 96,000 cribs manudactured by Jardine Enterprises. The wooden slats can break creating a gap that can strangle babies or toddlers. So...pass it on...apparently there have been ... read more
(This is tongue in cheek about getting thrown out!) I just reminded my husband (after discussing VP Biden's remarks about planes and subways) that I have very recently been on many planes, many trains and even to Mexico (with Secretary of State Clinton!) If cable news scares people any more, my family and friends may demand I wear a hazmat suit around them. As an aside - it is hard in cablenews to ... read more

While attention is focused on the swine flu and its possible ground zero of Mexico, did you know the Mexican authorities just arrested 12 of their own federal investigators? Why? Suspicion that they leaked info to hit men who then ambushed (murdered) 8 officers. The arrested/detained work for Mexico's equivalent of our FBI.

His sentence was 30 years but he got out early for good behavior. It is hard to stomach his release. He was convicted of one the most cruel acts - he shot American Leon Klinghoffer, an American passenger confined to a wheelchair...and ... read more
It is reported that Justice Souter wants to leave the Supreme Court because he doesn't like Washington. I don't care if he stays or goes, but this is an odd reason...especially coming from a guy who gets a vacation away from Washington from June 30 until October 1. And don't kid yourself, he can do lots of his Oct-June work remotely since there are not oral arguments every single day of the week ... read more
I hope the President's economic plan is wise. I want it to succeed. I don't think we will know of its success or failure until at least the end of the year. But I want to know, if you think the President's plan is unwise, blog what specific plan YOU would implement if you were President. It is not enough to disagree - you need an alternative plan...so blog! ... read more
Last fall we lent Chrysler 4 billion dollars so that it would not have to file bankruptcy...and now? It has filed bankruptcy! So what did we get for 4 billion ??
And ready for more? Our government is going to lend more! More billions!! If you buy a thirty thousand dollar car and finance it the bank requires proof that you can pay it back...but when it comes to this? hhm...
So here is your ... read more
