Even Kosher is compromised

KOSHER FIRST LLC. is recalling TUV TAAM SALADS NOVA LOX SALAD due to Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail, or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy persons may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Last minute politics

Reading the voter's pamphlet is always thrilling. Thought I'd share this one with ya'll...

In case you don't know, candidate statements are submitted by the candidate to the Secretary of State.

Here is the statement from one Barbara Mowrey:

Elected Experience:

I was Active in the signing of the Becca Bill, now in our law books to protect our children. I passed the Civil Service Exam; I am a Licensed Foster Parent, training only, I attended Crisis-Line Training through Rural Resources to aid in domestic violence situations. I worked as a Licensed Cosmetologist 22 years.

Education:

Statement:
My name is Barbara Mowrey; I am running in 7th LD Democratic Party for Senate. I believe in Democracy, Equality; "All men are created equal; Liberty and Justice for all, Equal Opportunity, not isolated only for the "fortunate." I ask you, "Why are "We the People" the last to know?" I will share one interpreted constitutional flaw that I read as written by the United States Court of Appeals: Ninth Circuit, June 12, 199557 F .3d 78963 USLW 2793, which basically states: "Grandparents' i.e., biological's have no constitutionally protected liberty interest in adoption of their children's offspring..."a genetic link does not give standing alone. "Grandparents have no rights superior to that of a stranger." People, once a child is in state care for "any reason" not permitted to go home, the biological child is no longer a legal member of your family...Socialism you ask? What other laws streamed by us without our knowledge? We the People" have a right to know! Petitions need be voted on before signed into law with full "laymen" explanation of the proposed laws. Where did Our " USA Constitutional Rights" go? Visit my website at: www.friendsofbarbaramowreyforsenate.com. You are valuable!

That's copy/pasted directly, all the grammatical fun is straight from the candidate. It's like she got distracted and started frothing manically when asked to write a submission! Must be a fluke, right? She was nervous, or busy, or whatever, and someone else wrote it for her... so I wandered over to her campaign webpage. The formatting is outstanding. I haven't got the patience to reproduce it here; seriously, every other word in the opening paragraph is italicized or underlined or both. She uses quotation marks when italicizing would be appropriate, and italics everywhere else. Reading further reveals that she has apparently no concept of where commas belong. The whole first page is one long rant about her opponent and the court standing of foster children.

Also, the one bill she keeps flaunting as her huge success is just a truancy reporting requirement.

What fun :)
