Several people missing, liquid ammonia from A/C and refrigeration flowing out of broken pipes into
the building. Large A/C units heaves up with the blast and the fell thru into the building.
Plant was Con-Agra.

Lester, if I were you I'd be out in your yard with a net. You never know...

Prepare for the Obama bailout of the Slim Jim industry. We'll put $20B into a new factory that makes puffed-corn-filled meat skins with wind turbine power, the United Meat Stuffers will own 70% of the business, nobody will want 'em, and the whole shebang will go belly-up after the next GOP administration cuts off the corporate slimjim welfare.
God Bless Us, Every One.

That is exactly where I would be. My nephew eats about $10.00 in Slim Jims a week. He is going to be crushed.

I like the Jack Links better myself.

And Lead Us Not Into The Temptation To Limit Government But Deliver Us From The Evil Of Conservatism
For Thine Is The Administration Of Power And Glory, For Present.

... Like Unionized Hallburn whining about George Bush ...

Hey, since GB43 is history, is Hallburn is your official Boogeyman now? I thought Carville and Emmanuel decided to make Rush the new enemy.

All I'm sayin' is this: if you like teriyaki beef jerky THERE IS NONE BETTER than Lone Star from here in Fairmont. Especially if you get a really fresh package, it is THE best beef jerky I have ever had. Jack Link's peppered is good, but the rest of their's stink. Lone Star's other flavors stink, but the teriyaki is the best I have ever had, anywhere, anytime, anyplace..

I used to eat a lot of Tillamook beef jerky when I had a...um...friend...whose Mother worked for the company. It wasn't bad and it was all free...
