[Bluebear]

P.S. It cannot be terror, as 'their have been no attack's on our shore's since 9/11.'

An elderly woman has been hospitalized with kidney failure related to her eating tainted spinach, marking the first confirmed illness in Illinois linked to an outbreak of E. coli in the leafy green vegetable, state public health officials said Monday.

The woman, who lives in north-central Illinois, became ill in late August and is now hospitalized with hemolytic uremic syndrome, a form of kidney failure that can be associated with the strain of E. coli linked to the tainted spinach, the Illinois Department of Public Health said...

The FBI says it is monitoring the situation as a precautionary measure...

"At this time we have no evidence supporting tampering," FDA spokeswoman Susan Bro said. The FBI is monitoring the situation, said FBI spokesman Rich Kolko. Kolko added it was a routine and precautionary measure, and is not indicative of any suspicious activity...

1. Given that e.colii are shit bacteria..

then the FBI are here to save us from shit, cuz' shit happens, even on food.

Its rich, i'm sure the media will take no advantage of that irony, not a top 10 letterman list,
not even a conan obrian skit, not a thing... whatever you do, don't mention the spinach.

7. We need to fight the e.coli over there...

So we don't have to fight it over here... Ooops! Too late! I guess someone forgot to close their eyes and pray for the President... Now we all must suffer. No spinach for anybody!

9. strap it on for osama

then pray where you're goinna,
boom for the want of a lover,
and even a small pet iguana,
until the charade is all over.
Peppered truths in leadite spread,
Angled out across the silent fauna,
temered sleuths and fettered lead,
bloody deaded in asia no wanna.

please take it back osama.

Om lord shiva and Karna
Osama parley with lord Rama
Sita not laid by Ravana,
Please osama, nirvana,
Rama.

3. It actually is terrorism

but not by the elusive and manufactured "al-Qaida" but by the very real and terroristic manufacturing processes of al-Corporation and Industrial Agriculture.
