Thick as a Brick. Of Lead.

Inspired by the Koch Brothers, Scott Walker, Mitt Romney and the Republican Party generally, I now realize we need to bring back leaded gasoline and paint. Also, let's send 30,000 US troops back to Iraq. First of all, the permanent damage done by lead ingestion (especially in children) is a bummer indeed, but hardly reason enough to forbid the magic of the Free Market from solving such a trifle on its own. Private Enterprise simply lacked enough time to develop an adequate substitute for the lead contained in those two consumer products. Damn government regulatory agencies always have to poke their interfering noses into what should be exclusively Capitalism's business. As for Iraq, the brilliant Rick Perry and kind-hearted Willard Romney think sending our boys and girls back to Mesopotamia is a good notion, and that's good enough for me! Bring it on!
