The Decider

By: Sonny Bunch

No, it’s not George Bush: It’s Congress. From John Schwenkler’s new digs:

The problems of the retailers and the toymakers are beside the point, Colangelo said. “Congress decided these toys are unsafe,” he said. “That’s critical here. […] We’re talking about something that Congress decided was unsafe and shouldn’t be on the shelves.”

That’s right: Congress decided. Now shut your mouth and go to your room; us adults have got some regulatin’ to do.

You should read the whole story about Congress trying to tell us which toys are safe and which aren’t that first ran in Sunday’s WaPo here. Sure am glad Congress has all those other pressing problems figured out…
