The I words!

Hmmm ...
the I words are appearing on many fronts.
Impeach, Independent Counsel, Investigation

So many criminals, so many choices, so many I's floating in D.C.

If we get to choose, which I would you start with and for which criminal ????

Expanded Voluntary Product Recall Information - 7/21/07

Castleberry’s Food Company is expanding our voluntary recall to additional products. If you had previously determined your Castleberry’s products were not included in the recall announced on July 18, you should check them again using the updated information below.

Castleberry’s is working closely with health officials to investigate possible contamination of these products. During this investigation, we are taking every step necessary to ensure the safety of the families that use our products every day.

The expanded recall includes the products listed below with ALL “best by” and code dates. (The recall originally announced on July 18 affected only 10 products with “best by” dates from APR30 2009 through MAY22 2009)

The Great Value Chili products included in this recall are distributed and sold in Canada ONLY. The Great Value brand in the United States is not associated with Castleberry’s or this recall. We greatly apologize for any confusion.

More and more recalls

Is anything safe to eat these days if it comes from a chain store or a big corporation more focused on it's bottom line and not the ultimate consumers? These companies know that the FDA is NOT inspecting most foods - not with this administration in charge - so they cut corners - and who pays? Us!

Here is the latest in what has become a long series of food recalls..these are not even from China - it's people food and dog food from the good old USA via Castleberry Food Company of Augusta, Ga.

From the FDA:

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expanding its July 18 warning to consumers. This expansion is for consumers and pet owners regarding canned food products and dog food produced by Castleberry Food Company of Augusta, Ga., due to the risk of botulinum toxin. Castleberry is expanding the recall to include all of the following canned products with all "best by" and code dates, and FDA is warning consumers not to purchase or eat any of the canned products listed in the table below.

The FDA website is: http://www.fda.gov

Also a toll-free hotline is also available at 1-800-203-4412 or 1-888-203-8446.

An open letter to JetBlue

I sent this to JetBlue corporate:

I was not going to attend Yearly Kos but was going to start using JetBlue to fly to the East coast.

Sorry - but now I not only will not fly your airline, I will suggest to all that they not use you either. Why? You are hypocrites. I understand that you advertise on a channel that promotes the worst hatred I have seen and I am going on 68 years old. [I do not watch Faux Noise.]

I spent the latter part of the 60' s boycotting TWA due to their stand on the grape boycott. It meant I flew cross-country always having to make flight changes and waiting hours in Chicago for those flights. I do put my money where my mouth is and as a book reading activist I never considered those wasted hours.

My mouth now says "do not fly JetBlue." I don't want to be in a plane flown by pilots flying for a company run by cowards who are afraid of a big mouthed, lying, obnoxious sexual predator.

This will also go on my blog.

Thank you for your kind attention.

The " they no longer amaze me" hypocrites

R's cease to amaze me...I think they ceased to amaze me during RR's reign. Now - it's become a what-would-they-have-to-do to amaze me or anyone? Hmmmm - tell the truth?

Crooks, liars, on-the-take graft, lobbyists, and hypocrites.

If you have an R after your name it seems you are allowed, by the alleged MSM, to be total hypocrites and nothing is said.

Up or down vote or the nuclear option was the R cry during the Roberts and Alito votes.

Now - when the D's have power - the R's want all votes on anything to do with Iraq be mandated to require a 60 vote majority - or they will .... guess what?

Or they will filibuster!....saying it's their "right" or whatever garbage they chose to use as words...

Only r's have rights - the rest of us are supposed to go-along-to-get-along.

I hope they have a great pajama party tonight.....those damned hypocrites- let them lose some sleep and golf and martini time !

Let's finally take care of our children who are caught in the R's mess in Iraq....[oh yes - and one I]
