Very Important Things
Wednesday, March 18, 2009 at 4:37PM This week, I was preparing a document for publication when I was told to hold everything because The President had something very very important to include. So I waited an hour's worth of deadline time until I was given the go-ahead. 'Twas a blessing to have waited, because the immediate-file, emergency-process document concerned... National Poison Prevention Week. Good thing, too, because publication went forward just in time to stop me from chugging Clorox to wash down the air freshener throat spray.
I fear, however, that the vital national interest served by National Poison Prevention Week may have been overshadowed by the news of the National Bed Bug Summit. The hotels have been booked for months.

Since its the National Poison Prevention Week, maybe President Obama would like to take a look at http://www.pro8news.com/news/local/40684607.html" rel="nofollow">this problem, which provokes some Woo Woo people to write bog entries like http://dailygrail.com/node/7355" rel="nofollow">this one.
There are poisons everywhere. We're just not being told about it.
I work for a pest control company, and frankly, you couldn't PAY me to stay in a hotel in this country right now.
Seriously? The President is concerning himself with poison prevention in the midst of all the recession/bailout/stimulus uproar? Doesn't he have people who have people who are paid to do that for him?
He no doubt does. I'm sure this took place under his predecessors, but the big hilarity to me was the IMMEDIATE FILE RUSH!!!!! aspect to it all. I bet it was because of all the bailout mess; the usual Yearly Idiotic Things Government Honors (last week it was--- I poop you not-- pi) is on a schedule, and it probably fell by the wayside in the middle of all the upset.
