This will end up on one of those “CSI” or “Law and Order” episodes...ripped from the headlines. Yikes.

I was going to make tuna casserole for dinner tonight. Looks like meatloaf in now on the menu.

I have always despised Bumble Bee tuna. No matter how it’s “prepared” or packed. Yuck.

Maybe now I know why......

I've always despised ALL tuna!

When I was younger, I had a phone # ending in 2638. I used to tell people to remember it by Bill never eats tuna.

The state department has launched an investigation into the accident

A US Ambasador is killed in Lybia and the state department is investigating an occupational death.

Something smells fishy here.

If I can’t have dolphin in my tuna fish, then I certainly don’t want stray employees or bumble bees in it.

It was already on a story line through a season of the NBC soap Passions a few years ago.
