Yesterday the CPSC put out a press release in an effort to stem the tidal wave of protest from Americans across the country about the issue of the impending closure of many kid's resale, consignment and thrift stores, forced by Congress's poorly crafted law, the CPSIA. There was no NEWS! Nothing has changed.
The press release personally insulted my intelligence and offended me as an American taxpayer with valid concerns that remain unaddressed, in public, on television by any of the governmental officials and legislators whose salaries we pay.
We're an intelligent and insightful nation. Apparently Washington thinks we're not very bright. They think this press release will shut us up while they change nothing.
KEEP ON EMAILING, SENDING LETTERS, BLOGGING - PLEASE!

When I read this pathetic press release I thought of one of his albums immediately. Thus, the references. Click here to read my full, personal, editorial opinion.
