Obama's "momentum" is grinding to a halt. The Republicans know how fickle the American public is and Hillary would be more difficult to beat by the time November rolls around.

They say a Dunkin' Donuts worker saw John Greco's exposed genitals in the Feb. 27 stunt and then noted the make of his car and his license plate number.
Police say the 46-year-old Croton-on-Hudson resident was arrested last week and has been charged with misdemeanor public lewdness. He's due in court March 27.
Police released a statement Thursday saying it was "unknown how Mr. Greco took his coffee that day."

Enron Founder's Widow Sued by Condo
Mar 15th, 2008 | HOUSTON -- The neighbors of the widow of Enron Corp. founder Kenneth Lay have sued her, accusing her of not paying her share of fees associated with living in one of Houston's most exclusive high-rises.
Linda Lay is already fighting an attempt by the federal government to seize nearly $13 million from Kenneth Lay's estate, including the family condominium at The Huntingdon.
The lawsuit by The Huntingdon Council of Co-Owners seeks more than $100,000 in unpaid fees from Linda Lay or foreclosure of her condo, which tax records value at about $4.75 million.

I'd put a little laughie-face emoticon in there, but it's just not funny, is it?
No we don't, and yes, it's funny but it's not really funny. The reason has to do with markets with a lot of lack of information. Free markets don't function at all well under those circumstances, and the government has at least the role of providing the missing information.
Read the quote in the NYT article where they discuss their powerlessness:
Erin Gardiner, a spokeswoman for Baxter, said the drug company had intended "to follow the supply chain as close as we could to the original source — the workshops." But she added, "We have not been able to do so."
Ms. Gardiner said Baxter did not have the authority to demand access to the workshops. If such access is granted, she said, Baxter stands "ready to return to China as part of our investigation."
Richard L. Friedman, the F.D.A.'s director of manufacturing and product quality, said the agency generally inspected only manufacturers of active pharmaceutical ingredients and finished products, and did not go further back in the supply chain. In this case, that part of the chain, Mr. Friedman said, is the responsibility of China's equivalent of the United States Department of Agriculture.
So what the medications and foods in this country can contain is now based on what another country's government might or might not do. Globalization.
Why haven't all prints of "Bridge at Kok-Ri" been shoved up McCain's ass with a crow bar?

“CANADIAN PRESCRIPTION DRUG RE-IMPORTATION: IS THERE A SAFETY ISSUE?”
"FDA has long taken the position that consumers are exposed to a number of risks when they purchase drugs from foreign sources or from sources that are not operated by pharmacies licensed under state pharmacy law. These outlets may dispense expired, subpotent, contaminated or counterfeit product, the wrong or a contraindicated product, an incorrect dose, or medication unaccompanied by adequate directions for use. The labeling of the drug may not be in English and therefore important information regarding dosage and side effects may not be available to the consumer. The drugs may not have been packaged and stored under appropriate conditions to avoid degradation. There is no assurance that these products were manufactured under current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) standards. When consumers take such unsafe or inappropriate medications, they face risks of dangerous drug interactions and other serious health consequences."

If you think all those wonderful cheap generics brought to you by the nice folks at Wallmart ($4 per prescription) or your friendly neighborhood HMO are being manufactured in factories in India and China that have been throughly inspected by the FDA, then I've got a condo in south Florida you might be interested in buying. Its a great investment, really.
And to think Bush the Last, (hopefully) was trying to worry us about drugs made in Canada!
What a country. (us, not them)
For instance, the FDA might want to test all heparin products imported into the country, to save a few lives here and there.
B--but, but...the *private sector* will test drugs cuz it's in their interest not to kill their customers. Except they cut corners and take dodgy risks with ingredients to save a few pennies. Not to worry, the families of the people who die can sue them, and this will somehow bring the market back into alignment...except for the people who died, I guess.
But after the Rethugs ram through 'tort reform' (which somehow doesn't count as government interference in Magical Marketplace Land), the families won't be able to sue, or the damages will be so minimal that the companies will just price in the cost of killing a few customers and a few cheap payouts as a cheaper option than ensuring a safe supply chain.

Uncle Smokes, the problem with thalidomide is that it has potential legitimate uses. I haven't read the clinical trials data on thalidomide, but I should. It's a fairly old drug. I'm not sure what the data turned up in it, and/or if it was not reported.
Good thing the people voted Grover's candidate into office twice, so he can shrink the government real small and not invent a wholly new multi-billion-dollar branch and start an unnecessary and incomprehensibly expensive war or anything!

It's version 0.7.20070607.0, if it's still available.

Sallyh, Grandmere Poissonniere
The wiki piece talks about that that later in the article.
What I found of interest was the experience of Frances Kelsey, who rejected the drug (emphasis added):
"Kelsey rejected the application and requested the aforementioned data from the company in a letter. Richardson-Merrell resubmitted the application, but with no new information, and Kelsey turned it down again. She continued to request more data from the company and with each request the 60 day clock started again. As the end of 1960 approached and with it the holiday season (the best time for selling sedatives), Richardson-Merrell began increasing the pressure on the FDA and Kelsey. Executives and scientists telephoned and personally visited Kelsey, and executives complained to her superiors that she was nit-picking and unreasonable.
"Kelsey refused to clear Kevadon for sale in the United States until she could review satisfactory studies. She later said that the reports submitted by Grünenthal and Richardson-Merrell were more like testimonials than results of well-designed, controlled studies. (One possible reason for the lack of data could be that Richardson-Merrell's 'investigation' of thalidomide for its FDA application was organized and implemented not by scientists, but by the company's sales and marketing division.) Kelsey had also heard anecdotal reports of peripheral neuropathy as a side effect, which increased her concern about possible effects on a fetus. She continued to reject the Kevadon application. In total, the company resubmitted its Kevadon application to the FDA six times, but with no new evidence in those applications Kelsey refused approval."
Hurrah for marketing science.
Thalidomide was marketed in the US. The FDA was created in large part, in response to the thalidomide scandal.
flory
I don't think this is right. I think the FDA has been around for longer than that (the thalidomide catastrophe hit circa 1955 or so, if memory serves.) There were comparatively few incidents of US kids who suffered as a result, because only a handful of US moms had access, via friends overseas, to the drug.
There were far, far larger numbers in the UK, despite its smaller population, again IIRC.
The problem is the "self-reporting" nature of drug trials. The FDA just doesn't have the resources to do its own tests.
The FDA doesn't have to actually do the tests, just manage the trials. They can use the same firms that actually run the trials now. But someone without a vested interest should be overseeing the trials and interpreting the results.
Falling down on the cat pixels. I'm so disappointed.
