Step On John McCain's Throat

  You and I have already witness the bad judgement which John McCain possesses on more than one occasion since the old man began his quest for the White House. Bad judgement and bad ideas, when he has any concrete ones, is not what America needs in the White House. We have enough problems without having to worry about some senile old fool getting us all fucked up because he can't remember what he's supposed to be doing or because he pushes the red button by accident thinking that it is the call button for his nurse.

  The last bit of evidence that McCain is unfit to be President? Sarah Palin of Alaska. Talk about lack of judgement!

  Time to get real mean with John McCain. Go for the throat and don't let up, Barack! You may wish to hold some more of those town-hall meetings in places where you aren't so popular in order to educate the mislead.

  Time to go nuclear on John McCain before he has the chance to get America nuked.

Government to Meat Packers: You Can't Test Your Meat

   This would be more shit under the Bush plan of less government, more market.

   USAToday

A federal appeals court says the government can prohibit meat packers from testing their animals for mad cow disease.

Because the Agriculture Department tests only a small percentage of cows for the deadly disease, Kansas meatpacker Creekstone Farms Premium Beef wants to test all of its cows. The government says it can't.

Larger meat companies worry that if Creekstone is allowed to perform the test and advertise its meat as safe, they could be forced to do the expensive test, too.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Friday overturned a lower court ruling that would have cleared the way for the testing. The appeals court said restricting the test is within the scope of the government's authority.

  So the Court of Appeals is telling us that the packing companies cannot fully test the meat that they will sell to us? What the fuck is wrong with this picture? If Creekstone wishes to run the tests on all of their cattle and bear the cost, then why can't the bigger companies do likewise?

   These companies are selling us a product which we eat on an almost daily basis and they don't want to have to test all of their goods before selling to us, which should be made a mandatory requirement in the first place.
