This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Another accomplishment of the Bush administration. He is too busy bowing and kneeling to the oil companies to pay attention to anything as profitless as regulating the food industry.

you know some of these semidrivers that haul these beef shipments really don't sanitize thier trailers, when asked to do so by the shipper. This is where some of the problems might be comming from.

Many decades ago I provided construction services in the Portland, Oregon area. One company I regretted working for was the Amour Meat Company. I visited this site of many months and I'll tell you right out my family did not has not consumes any product of any kind if it originated with this company. You don't want to know what I saw, and I say this knowing there was a USDA Inspector assigned there full time.

OH CONE ON! Let's stop this Bush bashing b.s. Neither he nor his administration had anything to do with tainted tomatoes or meat or anything Else. You liberal morons would probably try to blame him for your ingrown toenail. As I recall there were several food recalls during the Clinton administration as well. Yes we need better inspections and control over our processed foods. We need to hire more qualified inspectors and crack down on those inspectors who take bribes under the table for turning there heads. (Yes that happens a lot). But leave George Bush out of this. He has to eat the same food we do you know.

No. He eats high on the hog from our hard earned money we have to spend on HIS OIL! Come to think of it....I did get an ingrown toenail the last time I had to listen to him give a speech.

And here I thought this blog had died. Just as soon as you think it's safe to go on with your life, up pops another blithering liberal.
The point I was trying to make (which would have been clear to any normal thinking person) is that Secret Service operatives discretely go to grocery stores, the same ones you and I go to, to buy food for the President. (All Presidents, Dem's and Rep's) . Therefore he would be running the same risk of contamination as the rest of us.
By the way, President Bush does not eat any higher off the hog than Clinton, Gore or Obama does.
