OK, eww...
Cancer and human DNA, too? It’s a rough day for hot dog lovers
If the prospect of cancer isn’t enough to keep you away from hot dogs, maybe the human DNA found amid all that encased-meat goodness will do the trick. As Upton Sinclair once wrote, “[t]here was never the least attention paid to what was cut up for sausage.”
OK, so a recent study conducted by Clear Food found that only 2% of the 345 analyzed hot dogs and sausages actually contained that grim finding. Comforting? Beyond that little stat, though, there are other reasons to be alarmed. In fact, almost 15% of all the hot dogs in the study had problems.
“We encountered a surprising number of substitutions or unexpected ingredients,” the report claimed. “We found evidence of meats not found on labels, an absence of ingredients advertised on labels, and meat in some vegetarian products.”
Of the “meatless” hot dogs tested, 10% included pork or chicken. Yikes.
Well, come on - 98% of hotdogs did not have human DNA. That glass isn't half full, it's damn near overflowing!
On the other hand, the song says "Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks". Nothing about hot dogs.
Graham just said something that ended with "who the hell are we going to beat!?!?"
I was gurgling a beer and missed it. The crowd loved it.
Anyone catch the whole statement?

Iggy, you crack me up! I will resort to the argument from authority: Back in 2008, there was an occasion where the Hildabeast looked absolutely terrific at an evening event, and the next morning looked about 150 years old. I emailed Lucianne Goldberg, who knows all about this metropolitan and packaging stuff, and she is the one who told me that a one night transformation with today's products is easy-- but like Cinderella's it's gone at dawn.
Don't know how the bats cope.

I think she managed to do a 12-hour transformation of her personality for the Benghazi testimony, though the evil still shone through for anyone who looked or listened closely. That would not include the media of course.

so there's this interesting series, on spanish cable, some cross of breaking bad and '24, called el principle 'the prince' after this town in Southern Spain, much like a banlieu, where the CNI,
Spanish intelligence, is hunting a Moroccan drug dealer, with ties to terrorists, and they have put in an detective who is trying to crack his organization,

Great news for Christians unwilling to submit!

What do they get paid for refusing to cater same sex weddings?

Hil looked terrible at the Benghazi hearing
She is old and has gained a lot of weight
She insults the vets self sufficient women and pretends to hate big banks
She is fooling no one but the Dems still believe everyone is buying her schtick
I agree with Lyle and his spot on comments
Anyone taking a pass on voting for President seems like a sour grapes person to me
The evil and dishonesty on the Dem side should totally convince any sane person that the Dem way is the road to ruin and perdition
Another Ocare coop failed today

the lesson of all these 'blacklivesmatters' event from Sanford, on, seems to be if you misbehave, you will win all the sympathy, and the authorities will be vilified as a matter of course,

I guess that is two things Rubio and Obama have in common.

from Extraneus's 6:48
"Napolitano’s complaint on this case is worth a mention also. Your chances of prevailing in court go up considerably when you’ve got the EEOC showing up to go to bat for you rather than just relying on your own attorney. There does seem to be a suspicious pattern of one particular religion managing to get a lot of support from the federal government in cases like this as opposed to some other common faiths."

"Yuma isn't a JLENS, but a TARS"
Thanks for the correction, Cecil. They told me it was for drug interdiction -- looks very similar.
Posted by: Skoot | October 28, 2015 at 07:25 PM
You're welcome. I don't know much about the programs, but saw in the news that JLENS was a recent development; and we used to fly around that Yuma aerostat back in the late '80s, so I knew they couldn't be the same.

Well former cannibals tell me human being has a nice porky flavor, hence the nickname "Long Pig". And last I checked, I cooked my food thoroughly before I ate it, so I'm not that worried about the extra protein from the insects and maggots.
