My dad sent a consumer recall notice today. Thomas the Train is bad news apparently.

Name of Products: Various Thomas & Friends™ Wooden Railway Toys
Hazard: Surface paints on the recalled products contain lead. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

Most of the message was him blaming Bush for Thomas the Train having lead paint. Something about we Americans get what we pay for - we got what we wanted when we twice elected the crooks who run our country now - the Bush mob stripped the operating budgets and gutted the authority of our various consumer protection agencies, in favor of letting their capitalist cronies make more money. Something like that.

“there were a couple of kids, back when i was in grade school, who ate paint peeling off the woodwork. when i told my mother, she said it was because of a deficiency in their diet; she said the paint had lead in it and it would make them sick, and could even kill them. but they kept doing it. their family were white-trash tenant farmers. for as long as i knew them, those kids were skinny and hungry-looking, and they never did well on tests. they both ate boogers, too.”
