Senator Jeff Sessions (R -AL) -- he who caused some important trade policies to expire in December -- is attempting to "right" that wrong by introducing new legislation (S. 433) to reinstate the policies. Essentially, he is trying to succeed where others (thankfully) failed, i.e., to carve-out legislatively certain products (sleeping bags) made in his state. In so doing, however, he filled his March 2 press release with a retinue of half-truths, disingenuous mis-interpretations and damaging dog-whistles.  Let's examine them one at a time, shall we?

I've written previously about the Trade Adjustment Assistance program, and its fate has been tied up with the Generalized System of Preferences, a scheme by which certain developing countries gain duty-free access to the U.S. market for many of their goods. Congress was trying -- and failed -- to pass an extension of the programs together, along with the Andean Trade Preference Act. Well, in an effort to extend for eighteen months the stimulus-enhanced TAA program (they were less fulsome in their enthusiasm for the other part of the bill; the barrier-reducing ATPA), Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and Sherrod Brown (D-OH) introduced what they deemed to be a legislative "fix" to the thorny...

The numerous problems are so bad - there were violations concerning field reports, unapproved new drugs and adverse event reporting - that the FDA issued an import alert, which means products made at the main Claris facility in India are not allowed in the US (you can read more about Claris here).

Everyone knows that plastic bags suck (something about the environment, waste, landfills, petroleum), but each time we return from the grocery store, we look at that bundle of plastic bags and think “I wish I knew how to quit you.” Sometimes we need a little extra incentive, and that’s exactly what California would like to give. Thanks to a newly proposed bill, California might be the first state to ban plastic bags, charging shoppers five cents for every paper bag used. Because the average Californian uses 600 plastic bags a year, this bill could have a huge impact on the environment.

(Photo: Wenn.com) Stop Using Plastic Bags! You’d have to be living under a rock not to know that plastic bags are pretty bad for the planet – somewhere between 500 billion and a trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide, and they’re not recyclable in most places. They end up in landfills and often in water, where sea animals often fatally mistake them for food. Luckily, so many people are hip to the benefits of skipping plastic, that there are plenty of great alternatives on the market. Instead of hefting heavy canvas bags, there are several lightweight, easy-to-carry totes available (OBOE makes some of our favorites).

They are also carrying around high levels of mold, bacteria, and yeast. Full results indicated that… * Sixty four percent of the tested reusable bags were contaminated with some level of bacteria * Nearly 30 percent had bacterial counts higher than what is considered safe for drinking water. * Forty percent of the bags contained the presence of yeast or mold. * Some of the sampled bags contained unsafe levels of coliforms and fecal intestinal bacteria....

As my autistic boys learn to express themselves verbally, all too often we get tied up in knots of confusion, or rather I do. Trying to unravel their enquiries is often time consuming and requires a great deal of patience. They have to be patient with me whilst my brain plays catch up and connects the dots which are obvious to them but minute and disguised to me.“Eeoow! What is dat stinky smell which is being in my nose?”“Yes sorry about that. It’s recycled clay.”“Recycle? Recycle is stink?”“Not always but in this particular instance, yes.
