“Raw jalapeños, serranos and cilantro, the ingredients in Mexican cooking, are now being linked along with tomatoes to the outbreak of salmonella which has sickened more than 1,000 people nationwide and forced grocers to pull produce from their shelves.”

All Mexican foods. I said awhile ago that this is caused by some farm in Mexico using untreated sewage waste water to water their crops. I still say so and the evidence in favor is mounting. How else do you get salmonella bacteria INSIDE the produce unless it’s sucked up by the roots! We don’t run farms like stupid, uneducated, dirty peons in this country. Ahh, Mexico, land of revolutions, drug wars, corruption, poor education, poverty, crime and squalor. What a fine neighbor you are.

Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Robert Gates has undone the done deal with Airbus of the European Union to build our Air Force refueling tankers instead of Boeing, based in Washington state. “The Pentagon announced on Wednesday that it would reopen bidding on a $35 billion contract for midair refueling tankers, allowing Boeing to continue its effort to wrest the business from a partnership of Northrop Grumman and the European parent of its rival Airbus.”

Airbus was handed this as an incentive for the E.U. and particularly France to back us politically in the Middle East. Some back-door deal with them may have fallen through. Another possibility is the rise in the Euro over the dollar recently. By keeping up to a potential $100 billion contract total here in the U.S. and boosting the economy of Wash. state, as well as creating 9000 new jobs there and nationally, the incentive to keep the contract at home may have simply become too strong.

Boeing is the best choice anyway. They make a better airplane and they do it for less money, and this means more Americans will have more food on the table. Hopefully American-grown food.

I don’t want to spoil anyones dinner, but have you noticed that Bush’s eyes are so close together that he could be mistaken for a Cyclops? Just mentioning in passing.

Passing bills, for instance. Like this one: the Senate approved and sent to the White House a bill Wednesday to overhaul the bitterly disputed rules on secret government eavesdropping and to shield telecommunications companies from lawsuits complaining they helped the U.S. spy on Americans.

The relatively one-sided vote, 69-28, came only after a lengthy and heated debate that pitted privacy and civil liberties concerns against the desire to prevent terrorist attacks, and the ACLU, which is party to some of the lawsuits that will now be dismissed, said the bill was “a blatant assault upon civil liberties and the right to privacy.” For that reason alone, this must be a good bill and I’m all for it.

Anything the ACLU is against, is good for America. The ACLU was originally a Communist organization, and is now currently being run by Muslims with an Islamist agenda. Every time I hear their name I kinda lose my apetite.

A last thought. If you like your bacon lean, get it from a well-excercised Texas Racing Pig by buying it from the hog farm that has given us American Pig Races! This highly successful enterprise was started thanks to a Muslim, true fact, who bought the farm next to a Texas hog farmer and then told the farmer he had to move because his pigs offended Islam. In typical polite Texan response, the hog farmer set up a race track on their mutual property line and began what is now a major event, with people coming from all over Texas to see the pigs run their little tails off. The Muslim? I really don’t know and who the Hell cares?
