MAD COW USA TODAY

"As mad cow scare enters third week, [Canadian] beef industry cries for help become louder." In other words, they're asking Joe Canadian taxpayer to pay extra, once again, in compensation for the industry's mistake. Didn't they read those 1998 interview where Howard Lyman said "Get out while the getting out is good"?

Meanwhile, back in the U.S. even good ol' USA TODAY has fallen off the bandwagon, pointing out once again the fallacy of "we don't need more tests 'cause we know there's no BSE here."

UPDATE 6/4: I was just kidding around with that headline, but who knows? The Billings Gazette reports that Canada's BSE investigation has spread to Montana: "Canadian bulls sold to Montana came from herd that contained BSE cow," they say.
