2nd Case of "Mad Cow Disease" in US?
The US Agriculture Department is reporting the possible discovery of a second case of Mad Cow Disease in this country. Details are sketchy, and the location of the potentially diseased animal was not reported.
Stocks in beef-centric businesses are dropping, with McDonalds, Outback Steakhouse, Wendy's and Tyson Foods all reporting declines of 1-2% immediately following the report.
Stay tuned...this is not good news.

"...the location of the potentially diseased animal was not reported."
Who wants to bet it lives in a "blue" state? I think I saw that cow along the side of the road in rural Massachusetts.
The diseased cow was probably also a "newly registered" voter and waddled into the voting booth with a big Kėrry-Edwards sign on either side of its flanks.
