Blows My Mind

From the Just When You Think Nothing This Administration Does Could Shock You Department: The Bush Administration will fight to keep meat packers from testing their animals for Mad Cow.

Yes, you read that right. The meat packers want to test for Mad Cow Disease, the Administration doesn't want them too.

UPDATE: Christy from Firedoglake has more. Turns out it was one meat packer {probably some hippy losers!} who wanted to test all their cows, the Administrations and other meat packers want it to stay at 1%. Christy writes:

Oh yeah, I have yer free markets right here. The markets are free, so long as the Republican party and Bush Administration's large political donor interests in the big corporate cattle industry are fat and happy. Screw the entrepreneur who saw a way to up-market his own cattle by providing an additional value-added service to his consumers that was his own, personal choice to make for his own cattle on his own damn farm. Is that about it?
