No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

A solution in search of a problem

by @ 7:00 on April 21, 2008. Filed under Miscellaneous.

Is it just me or does it seem that the government spends more time trying to create problems than focusing on  the problems that are right in front of them?  

In Saturday’s Star and Tribune the Minnesota Department of Health is raising a specter of lead poisoning from eating gun  shot venison.

I’ll admit to not being a deer hunter.   However, I’ve eaten my share of fowl shot with lead over the years.   Other than that third arm I have growing out of my back, I’ve seen no impact of a little lead in my diet…KIDDING!  

Lead shot has a history going back to the mid 1500’s.   I did some Google searching and while information for the 1600’s and late 1500’s was a little difficult to parse (Darn, if only Al Gore had been born during the Dark Ages we would have had the internet so much earlier), I wasn’t able to find any epidemic of death certificates that listed “lead poisoning from venison ingestion” anywhere.

The MSM wails about how President Bush and the Republicans use “scare tactics” to motivate voters.   Apparently “scare” is perfectly acceptable to the MSM when they want to further their “man is a pariah on the planet” agenda.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a nicely baked pheasant awaiting my arrival.  

Bon Appetite!
