This morning it will be hard to top this quote from last night fro Secretary Veneman:

"It just slaughters a few animals, and our current understanding, and again it's very preliminary, is that that product did go to further processing plants. But again, one thing that is important to remember is that muscle cuts of meats have almost no risk. In fact, as far as the science is concerned, I know of no science to show that you can transmit BSE from muscle cuts of meat."

The above quote is very close to Tommy Thompson's comment that Bob Stevens was an avid outdoorsman and may have contracted anthrax by drinking stream water.

It's true. Bone, marrow, nerve tissue, brain... Those are the parts you have to worry about.

I sit calm and reassured until some government bureaucrat tells me everything is fine and I should be calm and reassured. Then I panic.

My WMP connection is very shaky but so far I've heard that Canada is offering assistance.

Definitely in the same range. But as with anything else regarding your health and safety--yer on yer own, folks!

Does anyone else find it curious that this comes out right when there is a big push for Country Of Origin labeling & record keeping?
