A new test conducted for Consumer Reports magazine found toxic bisphenol A leaching into food from nearly all canned goods, even those labeled as being "BPA-free" and "organic." The magazine tested items such as canned corn, chili, tomato sauce and corned beef, and found BPA levels varied widely, but some BPA was found in nearly all of them.A new test conducted for Consumer Reports magazine found toxic bisphenol A leaching... more

RECESSION! WE ARE INSIDE OF ONE RIGHT NOW. As tired as I am of having this recession jammed down my throat at every opportunity (I am a firm believer that if the press didn't tell us we were in a recession we wouldn't be in one), it has produced some interesting phenomenon.
While crimes like... Say.... Murder might be on the rise during a recession - capitol punishment is in the red.

It seems we can no longer afford to execute the people that are robbing/killing us for the money we don't have. US executions are at a 14 year low citing the cost of execution as a reason for the slump. Ok, fair enough - I've never been pro-death penalty... Maybe this recession isn't so bad I'm thinking - WRONG!

Ain't this recession just a kick in the pants! The global economy is in such a crisis that industries such as 'sex-tourism' are turning belly up. So now when I go to Prague I'm going to have to enjoy the local culture and cuisine... Greaaaaaat......
Ok so, we can't execute people, we can't travel internationally to pay for sex... Things are getting pretty bad. Any solutions? How bout we just print new money!

Neighborhoods in Milwaukee are discussing printing their own nifty little money in order to combat the lack of real money and encourage local spending. I think I might have came up with this idea when I was 6. Well Milwaukee, more power to you! If you can get people to spend Milwaukee fun-bucks then I will be the first person to counterfeit them and buy all your stuff.
