BEEF GETS A LEG TO STAND ON

I guess the USDA really is studying Meat Facts. A day after I posited that beef could be on its last legs if free-market Republicans didn't step in and bail it out, whaddaya know? That's just what they did, buying up 3 million pounds of it to force on kids in public school lunch programs. In just the past two months, $50 million of your tax money has gone to bail out beef. Good thing it's always "on sale" at the supermarket - whatta bargain, eh?
