CPSC chief traveled on toy makers' dime

Acting Consumer Product Safety Commission Chairwoman Nancy Nord and her predecessor, Hal Stratton, took nearly 30 trips since 2002 that were partially or fully paid for by trade associations, manufacturers or corporate lawyers, at a cost of nearly $60,000, according to The Washington Post.

Why Nancy Should Hang
(to the tune of "My Favorite Things")

Recalled toy Sponge Bobs and sweet Polly Pockets
Toothpaste and crayons and fireworks rockets
Bicycle forks that will break with a bang
These are some reasons why Nancy should hang

Barbie and Sarge cars and colorful jump rope
Leukemia drugs and OTC pain dope
Bright wooden art sets and Halloween fangs
These are some reasons why Nancy should hang

When the lead flows
When the wire shorts
When the tire tread cleaves
We simply remember just who is in charge
And mock her until she leaves

(Repeat)
