Second US case of Mad Cow Cannot be Blamed on Imported Beef

Tests Confirm Second Mad Cow Case in U.S. - Yahoo! News: "Tests have confirmed mad cow disease in what appears to be the first case in a U.S. born animal, the Agriculture Department said Friday. Officials would not specify where the case turned up, but Agriculture Secretary
Mike Johanns said there is no evidence the cow was imported."

Assholes. Since the only case of Mad Cow in North America which wasn't reported IN the US was found in a cow imported FROM the US, and since you folks seemed so fond of repeating that the cow you guys found was imported itself, you all were living in a typically American lack of common sense and concern over the whole thing. Now, since you folks didn't do a damned thing about the problem - except stop importing beef, like foreign beef is somehow less pure and the farmers less honest - you now have a case of Mad Cow disease in your own country in an animal, a case you cannot ignore or pass off because the animal was one of those lower-quality imported animals from one of those lesser countries with which you're unfortunately required to share the continent.

So you fucking made your own bed, in your arrogance and ignorance. Like in so many other cases, you may now sleep in it. Be my guest. Let me know if you want to try some imported beef. I hear the only case of Mad Cow found in imported beef was in an animal born in the US, so as long as you avoid beef born or raised in the US you should be fine.

Although it can only come back to haunt me, I deperately wish this were the last laugh, for all our sakes.
