Taking a momentary break from fighting Totalitarianist Creep to point out that more Mad Cow was confirmed yesterday, and the Department of Blowing Smoke Up Your Ass is revving up to full tilt to spin it away.

I have a very long-standing interest in the subject, and posted a piece on this latest development over at my own site, as it's way too long to burden the mighty Corrente pipeline. Check it out, for backgorund, context, and what to do to keep yourself safe.

For more in-depth information, and a real thrill-ride, check out Richard Rhodes, whose book Deadly Feasts was a real eye-opener.
