I heard there is a mad cow in Washington. Is it GWB or who?


It is already pandemic in:

Dept. of Homeland Security
Transportation Security Administration
Secret Service
Internal Revenue Service
US Senate
US House of Representatives
National Science Foundation
NASA
NSA
NSC
CIA
FBI

The cow in question, however, resided in Washington state.

I don't understand why the press is making such a big to-do about the thing.
From what I have heard, there have only been some 139 cases in human beings in
the entire world. That's 139 out of some 3 billions......you have a far better
chance of being struck by lightning or winning four lotteries within the same
year than you have of contracting that thing.

Maybe it was just a slow news day and they needed something to fill the on-air
minutes.
