Absolute Horseshit

Normally I don’t swear on my blog. Not because I don’t swear – I swear like a sailor – but rather because I think it’s inappropriate in a public forum. However, I can think of no other way to describe the turn of events in Washington.

As my partner pointed out in the email she sent me that is the genesis of this post our representatives in Washngton – men and women who work for us, on our behalf – cannot pass meaningful healthcare reform, cannot seem to find time to extend unemployment, seem wholly unable to do anything to stimulat ethe economy or create jobs but by golly they can introduce legislation to regulate cosmetics.

That’s right. House Bill H.R. 5786 was introduced yesterday and aims to make sure that no unsafe ingerdients are used in cosmetics sold in the US. Because that, like defense of marriage, is really frigging important right now. There is NOTHING more pressing than making sure that the make-up and shampoo we use doesn’t have ingredients that aren’t approved by the FDA – an agency that is known for it’s ability to stop bad things from entering our food and drug supply.

Give me a break!! I think it’s time we recall every one of the politicians in Washington and get some new blood in there. These guys and gals are ineffective and wasting our hard earned money. I talk to people ever day about what’s on their minds and no one – not one single person i know or who is known by someone I know – has EVER mentioned that, at this point in time given what’s going on in our world, they give one good shit about cosmetic safety.

This is unbefreakingbelievable. What are these people thinking?
