Quote of the Day
"[California Governor] Davis has signed an ill-advised ban on PBDEs, a flame retardant popular especially with high-tech manufacturers in California (you all have them in your computers). The EU, naturally, banned PBDE's several years ago, and now has much higher rates of computer fires and injuries from other kinds of fires in products that used to have PBDEs.

"Funny; I'd have thought Davis would be in favor of flame retardants at the moment, since he is about to be torched."

Steve Hayward, in NRO's The Corner

Someone should give him a tip to invest in the fire extinguisher industry, he's gonna need it.
