Flea and tick control products for pets often contain high concentrations (40% or more) of pyrethroid pesticides and pose health risks to pets and people, especially small children.

Perhaps it is Browny's brother, appointed by Bush, doing the usual great job? Just who is assigned to protect us from the E.P.A.'s cozy relationship with Industry and their huge political contributions?

hey courant editors, did you expect anything else from a vheney/bush epa?
can't wait to see who your owner will let you endorse this year.
could you please state in your editorials whether they are your or your owner's opinion. if there is no difference then your complaints do not make any sense. this is the inevitable outcome of cheney/bush running the shwo.

Pyrethroids go great with potato salad - keeps the ants away from the picnic, too.

Perhaps the addition of toxic chemicals in our food supply is the Bush Administration's response towards reducing Social Security's financial obligations. A bit harsh (perhaps) but quite effective in preventing people from outliving their paid benefits. This would be funnier if it could be completely dismissed as merely a joke and quite implausible. With this present administration, it has been said "all options are on the table" ......... bon appetit.
