You just know that the Nine Dembots™ wake up every morning and rush to see if anything interesting happened - anything at all - about which they can make talk and for which they can cast blame in Bush's general direction.
The sad subject of Mad cows is no exception to this delusional behavior. What amuses me is that they're paying some very creative individuals to sit in a room, whacked out on stale coffee, to generate this putrid verbal froth*.
And some of them are getting the exact same froth - else that or the very creative individuals are cheating off each others' papers. Witness the choreographed dumbidity by John Effing Kerry and Howard "Mad Howie" Dean espousing a "Big Bovine Brother™" system:
"The current mad cow investigation underscores the urgent need for a national system to make diseased livestock easier to track and contain," Kerry, a Massachusetts senator, said in a statement.
"We need a system of instant traceability for all cattle," Dean said in a statement.Apparently, both were riding around in identical 2003 Kia Statements paid for by George Soros.
What's it going to cost to install GPS devices in each little calf so we can track that sucker wheresoever it may roam? The Global Warming™ people are gonna love it, because they'll expect the Government to be able to track 'em for flatulence and the dangerous bovine methane they produce.
But the funniest quote came from Mr. Miserable Failure himself, Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt. Let me make sure I set this up properly, because as obvious as it is, Ol' Dick's people turned him loose anyway.
"We need a president who is committed to the right of American consumers to know where their meat is coming from..." Dick Gephardt said.
For generations, the fight song for the Democrat Party has been "Happy Days Are Here Again," but with this bunch of Dembots™, the 2004 version will simply have to be "Send in the Clowns."
* Yes, it occurred to me that Putrid Verbal Froth would be a good name for a Rock Band.
they want to track every move of cows - but NOT illegal aliens. bizarre.

You might have heard about the Bill of Rights, the first ten ammendments to the Constitution, which emumerates the actual rights of Americans. Now Dickless Gephart thinks we should add another right, the right to know where meat is coming from, to that list. I was all for the Patients' Bill of Rights, Consumer Technolgy Bill of Rights, and Moviegoers' Bill of Rights. Hell, come up with a pet peeve and tack "Bill of Rights" to it and you have created a new, automatically protected, class of people. But even I gotta admit that a Carnivores' Bill of Rights is stretching the concept a bit too far.
