Last night while on twitter, @thesmartmama twittered out a video from the commissions village idiot spokesperson Julie Vallese from the CPSIA. If you can get through this totally cringe worthy, nonclarifying video long enough to see her blame the misinformation of the law on mommy bloggers, you will see that the CPSIA are basically hall monitors that are excited to be passing out detention slips, but having very little real knowledge of their own law, how to enforce it, or even where they will get the resources to do so. I was so insulted by the condescending attitude and little smirk that was on this ladies face at times, that I wanted to reach through the computer and pull a Pumpkin from Flava Flav move.
Julie, the reason us mommy bloggers have to talk about the law, is because your idiotic council got a hard little erection at the thought of passing a law and rather then doing the research and enacting something that was going to help our country be safe from lead based toys from China, created an umbrella law that doesnt allow me to purchase hairbows for my daughter anymore.
Go suck on an egg.

You told her to go suck an egg —
Yeah, a LEAD (600 parts per million) egg, and whether she actually sucks it or not, she should “use her best judgement.”
One angry “mommy blogger” here. Thanks for spreading the word and flipping her the hidden bird.
I have to say she tried really hard to sound educated on the subject but I must at admit her long pauses and her repetition of the questions asked only made her look foolish. Also at the beginning it looked as though she was reading a card and kept messing up. I am high offended and I agree with you on the picture. I am glad all of these bloggers have been commenting on this post it shows we have a strong community of bloggers that stand by one another.
This was the best video against the CPSIA I’ve watched yet! Way to go!
I’m a mom but it’s our 13-year-old son who has a home business making pencil toppers for kids. He’s been doing it for three years & has become quite successful. Even though he doesn’t have to make a living with his business yet, it’s a really bad message our government is sending to young entrepreneurs of America. He’s a sensitive kid but pretty business savvy so we’re all in this together!
They can’t possibly leave the law the way it’s written. There are so many people making noise, they can’t just tune us out.
