The New Book Banning

I understand that lead and other hazardous chemicals should be limited in goods sold for children’s use, but every time I hear about the CPSIA, it’s in the context of bullshit provisions that will hurt small businesses, especially ones that are predominately run by women.

Barry Zito is on Twitter!

And, despite his decision to decorate his page with the ever garish combination of orange and black, this discovery has totally made my afternoon.

UPDATE: Nick Swisher, too! When did I fall so far behind the baseball times???
