Checking her apartment, county health inspectors found 15 lead violations, all linked to old paint in this blue collar city plagued by lead poisoning.

Lead is the least of the worries with our water supply.

This grand idea of pizz'nandchitting in the water supply, is making us sick.
There is no know way to filter out all the pharmaceuticals people take, that we flush down the toilet.

I'm not even sure this could possibly be a problem, what with the $1 trillion stimulus we gave Obama to fix all the infrastructure back in 2009. We've already paid for all these repairs, obviously.

I mean...Obama *did* get all these problems fixed, using all that money we gave him in 2009, right?




















Heh, heh...heh, heh...

Gotta love the sensational headline only mentioning children. What about everyone else? They aren't affected by this? The article is a lame attempt to scare people about budget cuts.
