Topps Meat Co. has expanded a recall of ground beef from about 300,000 pounds to 21.7 million pounds, one of the largest meat recalls in U.S. history.

The recalled products are all ground beef patties with various brand names. They may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, a bacterium that can cause severe diarrhea and cramps, as well as other complications.

Check your freezers, folk, for those hamburgers at a really great price.

The ground beef products being recalled have a “sell by date” or a “best if used by date” between September 25, 2007, and September 25, 2008, Topps’ statement said. The packages also have the marking “Est. 9748” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

I like that part about the USDA mark of inspection. Gives me a feeling of confidence in our government.

    Fine, Antichrist is imprecise. She is just extremely evil. Mixing her with other politicians is kind of like mixing poop into meat.

    #28. They still do here (and you can watch tem do it through the window, thank (insert higher being or belief here) with the exception of Wal-Mart. And also with the exception of these frozen crap patties that are available everywhere. Since Safeway pulled out there aren’t any union grocery stores here.

  3. #32 – iGW,

    Well, I believe that anyone who goes into politics with the intent of legislating from a religious belief is evil, so will not disagree. However, it is more like mixing poop with more poop than anything else. Hillary did a fair job in her first eight years, despite her beliefs. If she gets the nod from the Democraps, I will still vote for her over any of the Repugnicans.

    >>She is just extremely evil.

    You’ve got to take everything in context. When you compare her with the spawn of Satan that have hijacked America for the past 7 years, she doesn’t look too bad. Not too bad at all.

    Hillary couldn’t do as much damage in a thousand lifetimes as the Chimperor in Chief (and his handlers) have done in the past few years.

    And if we are cursed with a looney-tune like Rudy “Hi Dear” Guliani, fageddaboudit. We’re down the crapper for good.

    How the hell did this thread get from ecoli hamburger to the anti-christ and then Hillary?

    But, since it managed to go from burgers to pork barrels, I just read a great article. It seems that some 30 religious conservative groups just met and most of them are thinking about bolting the Republican party if it nominates Rudy for President….the reason….his stance on abortion, and supporting one of the anti-abortion guys running for the nomination(ie: Brownback, Huckabee etc)….so, I’m holding my nose and praying for a Rudy win in the Republican primary’s….and once the religious wing nuts are out the door to support a third party…..locking the door and not letting them back in…..a true conservative/libertarian party once more.
