It's what's for dinner." But all is forgiven, for you may have provided a reason for Bush's policies; he's been suffering from a "brain-wasting disease" all along. You forgot “Beef.

They weren't for us, so they must be against us. Think a bout it. They all have to learn French, their road signs are all in kilometers, and they have socialized medicine. If this doesn't make a patriot's blood boil, I don't know what would. We'll start by bombing their feed lots. Well, our duty is clear, as a God fearing, beef eating country we need to attack Canada.

Remember, federal policy is to close the barn door after the horse has escaped. No one said anything about cows. No need for the government to do a damn thing.

But I am curious about one thing. Even if we assume the cow was born in Canada, does that mean it got *infected* in Canada? When was it sold across the border (and until the recent US ban on Canadian beef, wasn't it common to ship cows back and forth constantly?) and when did it get infected? Wasn't it born in 97? Didn't Canada ban the feeding practices that result in BSE then? Did the US ever enact the same ban? I have noticed a certain lack of seriousness in the American response.

There really is a pattern starting to form here... Damn Canucks. It's about time we got even for them burning down the White House in 1812...
