More Chinese Candy - Oct 31

I almost forgot this one.
You know 'Peeps'? The little marshmallow thingies, come in different shapes and colors? The beautiful half of us loves 'em.
Guess where they're to be made? Go ahead, guess.
Right. China. The Heroes of Tienanmen Square, the barbarians who slaughtered 65,000,000 or so of their own countrymen after the Communists took over, those same wonderful folks, will now make your adorable candies.
Check it out at Scary thought? 'Halloween Peeps' made in China which is a whole lot scarier than little kids dressed up like A-Rod or hookers.

Ain't globalism wonderful? I mean, in the Bad Old Days, they might actually make things like this in your own town. Now, we get to have it made 5000 miles away by slave laborers. Progress, that's what it is, progress.

Chicom Poison Candy -- Oct 31

Aren't you just enthusiastic that, thanks to the fact that we look the other way on Chinese imports, (you know, the same people that employ illegal means to fund the Clintons), our kids can get unsafe candy right off the sampan? It's great, just great. Let's try these on, for size.
Fake Teeth Recalled for Too Much Lead yep, those Hallowe'en staples, fake teeth.

Latest from the Chicoms

Normally, I wouldn't trust the NY Times to tell me it if was raining outside. But even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a great while. Here's their acorn for the year. Seems that they have discovered that the Heroes of Tienanmen Square are up to their woks in selling counterfeit chemicals of doubtful purity or content. That's bad for floor wax. But these are being sold to pharmaceutical companies. Guess whose mouth the end-products land in? Check out Chinese Chemicals Flow Unchecked to Market
You won't like it, but evidently we don't get a vote.
