Nothing new here. Chinese-produced food has always been questionable and risky. Heck, one of my Chinese-Japanese friends who owns and runs a Chinese restaurant here in Japan refuses to buy food from his own homeland (except for some necessary spices).

Nice win against a quality team, holding dangerous hitters like Rios, Overbay, and Wells in check all day. He essentially eliminated the Blue Jays from playoff contention in the process. Dice-K also improved to a perfect 9-0 on the road. Looks like Dice-K is gearing up for the playoffs.

But wouldn't this apply to all cattle, including those in Japan?

You're right Mark; that would also apply to cattle in Japan. I was just merely pointing out the fact that although BSE is not common in cows, both in the U.S. and in Japan, there are other dangers out…

Although there haven't been any "admitted" cases of BSE in the U.S. recently, there have been numerous cases of downed cows being severely mistreated and sold to the general public.

According to a Humane Society report:

"... downed cattle, those too sick or disabled to stand or walk, are routinely…

To add, it is now known that Bush is asking for in excess of 500 billion dollars to use for this radical bailout plan. Where is he going to get that kind of money? We've already spent billions of dollars on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

We should all remember that this bailout plan has not been approved and passed by Congress yet, and thus we may not see the results of it for some time. It is also not assured that it will be a total success at all. At best, it will probably stop…

How many more investment giants have to fall before the U.S. government realizes that they have to get their act together. The U.S. government is all "reactionary" and no "precautionary". Well, guess what Bush, it's too late. Your 300 dollar per taxpayer economic stimulus plan didn't work, and your "possible"…

Statistically so insignificant that nobody ever thought of challenging it (107 years) except Ichiro.

Does that also mean that Hack Wilson's 78 year-old single-season RBI record of 191 is insignificant too? Or how about Nap Lajoie's 107 year-old single-season batting average record (.426)? Then of course, there is Joe DiMaggio's…

The American people should remain confident in the “soundness and resilience in the American financial system,” Paulson told reporters at the White House.

Yeah, right. Little by little, Americans are losing their confidence in the economy. Whatever happened to the economic stimulus package that Bush handed out? Hasn't done much…

Sad, so sad. The dilemma that U.S. forces are facing is all due to Bush's failure as a Commander in Chief. There are not enough forces in Afghanistan in place, so they resort to bombing tactics, which are safer (for U.S. forces) and require fewer ground troops, but leave open…
