Toxic Tuna

I saw them play at the Garden once. No, wait...

Anyway, Charley the Tuna may make you mad as a hatter. All part of the Bush administration's "Safe Sushi" initiative.

Group Warns of Toxic Tuna - Los Angeles Times
Tuna is arguably the most popular offering at sushi bars. Many customers like slices of blood-red fish slathered in a spicy wasabi sauce. Others prefer the more simple nigiri style, which is sliced tuna over rice.

But now a public health advocacy group is warning about the safety of tuna sushi and questioning the Food and Drug Administration's system of monitoring the mercury levels in fish, based on tests on a small sample of such delicacies at Los Angeles restaurants.
