CoreCommerce Pallone asks World Series teams to ban chewing tobacco
By Julian Pecquet – 10/25/10 02:29 PM ET
The chairman of the Energy and Commerce subcommittee on health asked the heads of the World Series teams on Monday to ban the use of chewing tobacco on the field and in the dugout during this year’s World Series, which begins Wednesday
Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.) made the request in letters to the presidents of the Texas Rangers and the San Francisco Giants. Pallone held a hearing in April to examine the effects on youth of smokeless tobacco use by MLB players.

When it comes to greenhouse-gas emissions, Energy Secretary Steven Chu sees Americans as unruly teenagers and the Administration as the parent that will have to teach them a few lessons.
Speaking on the sidelines of a smart grid conference in Washington, Dr. Chu said he didn’t think average folks had the know-how or will to to change their behavior enough to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.
“The American public…just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act,” Dr. Chu said. “The American public has to really understand in their core how important this issue is.”

There is nothing about me or my mother in your unhinged delusional rant.
This proves that conservatism is based on outright lies.
You = Fail
Because the position of daddy has been taken by Conservatives.
I’ll be the mommy if you’ll be my daddy.
There is a difference between leadership and other stuff. Further; what do you think about those cons that explain BS economics in half-truths to get you to trade your lunch money for a pet rock?
The slipper fits. Nice links!
They want to turn the US into a prison. No choices of our own. If they all left stress levels would dramatically decrease.
It is their nature to control the behaviors of individuals. They will only get worse in their zest to make the world a better place (in their eyes).
I’ll play “Daddy” with you
Don’t forget about trans-fat, soda pop, … etc. I was a consumer of chewing tobacco at one point in my life, it is a terrible disgusting habit and I am glad I quit, BUT it is not the government’s job to dictate this.
who cares!
If you have to ask, you’re pretty sad.
‘Cause it makes ‘em FEEL good. And, above ALL else, “liberals” do like their FEELing good. Especially when it makes ‘em FEEL good about themselves. THAT is their drug of choice. Do NOT get in their way when they’re going for it; you’ll get run right over!
This sounds like a typical lib, the only way to turn this one around, Is have Obama
caught with a big ole plug between that cheek and gum. Holding onto a can. Now
thats change one can believe in.
OMG, Pallone. What a cancer in NJ. Another too long in office, too full of himself & now, more proof totally out of touch with real issues.
& yet, he’ll be back, dammit
