Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Tuesday, April 08, 2008

Formaldehyde problems aren't limited to the emergency trailers shipped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to hurricane victims on the Gulf Coast in 2005. Air quality advocates say that ordinary camper trailers and motorized recreational vehicles can be unhealthy because no federal or state agency bars manufacturers from using materials in them that contain formaldehyde. The colorless gas can cause respiratory problems and is a suspected carcinogen.

I'm sure Bush will demand that whichever crony got the contract for these, they return the money instantly to the taxpayers... ...no?

Everything is "Toxic" anymore. Toxic this toxic that. What utter and complete poppycock.

I had a motorhome about 10 years ago- a Fleetwood Flair-25 ft. There were abundant warnings as to the presence of formaldehyde and that the unit was unfit for residency-only for brief outings. It was my understanding the the government, the same government that provided these units as housing, required the warnings be posted. Either the labels were removed, or the residents ignored them. After all, what choice did they have? They were homeless.

Don't You see what's happening folks. The Government is trying to worry us into our graves early so they can spend more money on bullshit. I mean really You wake up (Oh we can't use a certain type of slipper cause it might poison us) go take the morning wizz(Oh we can't use a certain type of toilet seat cause it might cause us to get cancerous growths upon our buttocks) then we get up and get a drink (Oh we can't use certain types of plumbing cause it MIGHT make us sick) and then we go make breakfast (Oh we can't cook on nonstick teflon cause it might cause us cancer so we have to use cast iron which will stick to the eggs we want for breakfast) and on and on and on it goes. For pete sakes We all gonna die it's how You want to live in between times that's important. God so many worry warts.

Toxic trailers....they must be referring to where the SpudDud(tm) lives. Not to worry, all the Dud needs to do is learn how to keep his mouth shut and all those toxins at his place will clear right up. The smell will go away too. Hehehe.

Most all trailers were insulated with formaldehyde and formaldhehyde laced pannelling an carpetting.ou eyes burn when you go into them until they've had a sometime to air out.

Spud saw a show the other day regarding these trailers. Apparently because they are unlivable they have been all collected together and stored in mass quantities at various sites. The news story in question involved people living within breathing distance of these death traps.
on hot days the formaldehyde fumes would come into their household and make people living there quite sick.

Spud still wants to know the names of the individuals responsible for the mass purchase of these trailers and why they are not all in jail.

Be Well.

So does the Demon-cratic party this election, and last time too. Yall's choices suck again. No wonder we continue to win.

Americans live in a chemical bath. It's more apparent every time I return for a visit.

You call the last 7 1/2 years "winning"?

"This word, it doesn't mean wot you think it means."

Spud would say "Nice Try", Asstroglide but you aint even close. You never really pay attention do ya?

The Senile GOPher lemming McLame will get crushed mericlessly in November unless Hill is the candidate and then he'll only get creamed.

Remember you heard it here first.

3:17 AM on the Wet Coast.

Spud is outtie, leaving the never ending story that is the Drudge Retort, as ya do,
stage left.

Be Well.

/GObama! Hopemongers of the World. Unite and Take Over!

Spud,


You still pushing "McLame"??


I told you - that name is, well, lame.


So far, these are the only nicknames that are funny (IMO):

McCane
McCunt
McStrangelove

My neighbor has a mint (new) 1972 Superior RV, well see if it had notice posted in it. I dont think it does.

LarryMohr, perhaps you should spend some time living in one of these trailers before arbitrarily discounting the reports and continuing your tirade against the Government. Just because you rant and rave against doesn't make it any less or more so.

If you would perform some thoughtful research, you would discover that, because of the high demand created by the need for housing after Katrina, the RV makers were faced with shortages of building materials produced domestically, thus were forced to turn to foreign manufacturers for product. These foreign manufacturers do not produce to the same standards as the US manufacturers, used cheaper and less safe materials. The first trailers to arrive in LA were fine. It was the later trailers that caused the problems.

Evidently, these problems with formaldehyde toxicity are evident in new RV products. So you can rant and rave all you want against the Government. You should be ranting and raving against the RV manufacturers that are evidently not resolving the problem themselves because it would mean a cut in their profits to produce a safer product.

So open the damn window once in a while

Yeah, Larry just look at SpudDud(tm) and you can see that since he lives in one of those lousy trailers, just how much it fucked him up.

***** Trailers, RVs Contain Toxic Air ****

...... cause the trailer trash fart non-stop.......

How about McCain-us?

News flash. Anytime you have a bunch of new carpet and a bunch of foam insulation in a confined space there is an air quality problem. If the carpet sets in a wharehouse for a long time, the problem goes away.

How about McCan't?

I want him to win and believe he will, but I think that McCANE is appropriate.
