Just saw this on CNN. I'll post more as I find it:

BREAKING NEWS U.S. Department of Agriculture confirms a cow in Washington state has tested "presumptive positive" for mad cow disease. Details soon.

Well, it's been confirmed, it's the first mad cow disease to strike the US...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The first case of mad cow disease in the United States has been discovered in Washington state, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Tuesday.

Shoot, I'd better fill up on steak...

The price of beef has allready gone through the roof.

I wonder what this will do to the price now?

My Christmas prime rib cost $70.00 this year compaired to $33.00 last year.

I'm going to have to stop getting burgers at McDonald's! Oh, wait, I don't get burgers at McDonald's now because they taste like cardboard...

Yeah, she looks pretty mad to me!

ahhh cr@p, i didn't go shopping yet, now beef will be nice and expensive

this will cripple us up here in the cattle country this is not cool. i hope this aint spread far.

i understand, and i was speaking with my mother about this very subject. Once this topic is up for mass consumption and begins to become "the hot" topic around town then the harm will happen in that meat prices will rise even more, restrictions, callbacks and all that stuff

Its not your first case, after all Hillary Clinton was around for quite a while....

Remember John Titor? Didn't he say something about a mad cow disease?

we had a Mad cow up here in canada not too long ago.. that 1 mad cow put a big azz dent in our beef industry cause america banned canadian beef. then quite a few other's followed shortly after course our beef ended up bein super cheep cause no one would take it... i ate t bone's every night for a month... we never worried too much infact up here it was considered blown waaay out of proportion ( by cnn and such media conglomerates) to what was really going on... my suggestion wait out the inital storm of worrie and buy up 2 or 3 cows for 200 bucks a pop when we stop taking ur beef............ muahahahahaha
