Wednesday's Musings

The Bush Administration tries to expand government regulation over the internet.

President Bush signs housing bill.

Another police beating caught on tape. According to the police, he was "resisting arrest".

Israeli Prime Minister looks like he's ready to step down. The bribery case is a little too much for him to handle. I guess they'll need another leader for their upcoming strike on Iran.

Country singer Toby Keith makes a song about the glory days of lynching. Incredible.

Ludacris makes a song supporting Obama. Of course, the Obama campaign itself condems the song. Time to send Luda to the dog-house with Rev. Wright and Jesse.

What do you know? The FDA finds the strain of salmonella at another Mexican farm. Hush, don't tell anyone that those Mexican NAFTA products are getting a bunch of Americans sick. It's not rocket science that Americans get sick from the Mexican water that they're using to wash this food. Watch out for more cases of this.

Mexican Salmonella Pt. 2

Check the blog. I called this a while back. However, we still aren't going to see much news on it. The recent salmonella outbreak has been isolated to a single strain from jalapenos peppers that have been imported from Mexico. This is just another side-effect of NAFTA and the recent agreement that allows Mexican truckers more distribution access in the states.

It's actually pretty simple, if you think about it. Mexican produce is washed and cleaned by Mexican water. Although Mexicans have developed a tolerance for the water, most Americans will get sick if they drank it. These products that have been cleaned with tainted water eventually make it to grocery stores in the United States.

This administration has an obsession with non-American products and labor. Even though it's very clear that these products are making us sick, they'll never really give it enough attention or thoroughness to cause any disruption in the flow of Mexican products. Surely, they'll never do anything to jeopardize the relationship.

We all need to make sure we have ample supply of Pepto-Bismol on hand.
