1. Two Comments
1. "Wary of public fears, the White House has also stressed that President George W. Bush continues to show a healthy appetite for beef."

How is a moron who eats beef supposed reassure anyone???

"He stressed McDonald's has very stringent protections in place to protect its customers from tainted foods."

2. Could this clown be a little more specific?

2. Yeah.
Bush was an avid, hardcore runner too. Didn't even warm up with stretches. Look what happened to him.

3. Hey I messed my knee just
walking Serious...

ACL is not that rare... but one hundred years ago, neither him or me would ever walk again without crutches...

Now the real fact is that Junior is following John Major and that group of children who did the same to TRY to reasure the UK public that beef was safe.

I ain't touching it, and I am sure neither are many other DUers

4. Actually, that's bullshit. McDonalds accepts "downers"...
downed cows that are usually sick in some way. Burger King, Wendy's and the Federal school lunch program DO NOT accept downers.

I wouldn't eat a McDonalds burger if I were starving. I would eat tree bark first.
