Is this the DNC backup plan in case the corporate accounting/Harken stuff doesn't work out?

Just for fun, try making your own DNC talking points to help manufacture the next so-called scandal. Here's one: the Bush administration is too close to Big Meat.

What do logic and fair play have to do with it? Nothing according to liberals. Not a peep from them on X42's watch, notice? I just hope the public will see through this smoke screen (though I don't hold out hope).

Thorough cooking kills bacteria (duh).

If I had just one wish, and couldn't use it for personal gain, this is what I would choose:
