Killer Hot Dogs



From The Washinton Times:

"Believe it or not, the government is about to regulate the shape of hot dogs. Bureaucrats at the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Agriculture and the Consumer Product Safety Commission are studying how to change the shape of hot dogs to prevent youngsters from choking."

EDITORIAL: Hot-dog Hysteria

For the love of God, are they going to regulate the shape of grapes, next?

Upon this earth, the geological location which presents the greatest threat to the American citizen in my personal opinion, the principles and declarations upon which this country was established a little over 234 years ago, and is a cancerous growth so insidious, so deadly, that unless this course is changed, will only be removed by the people, by force, is Washington DC. The greatest enemy is within.

Oh, SHOOT...I read the first half of your post and was just going to write "how are they going to change the shape of grapes, because they're saying they're dangerous, too" but you beat me to it :-)

Will there be ANYTHING not LEGISLATED and CODIFIED allowed in a year's time? geeeesh

WomanHonorThyself: It seems like every day brings a new boatload of stuff that is over the top with this administration. Sometimes I get stymied over which outrage to pick from because there are SO MANY.

Yeah then Obama is going to tackle that whole BCS championship thingy. Maybe once he gets down with all of this important stuff he can work on things like the economy and national security.

Z: Every last detail of our lives will be regulated if we let them.
Very controlling especially when it's coming from a skinny guy with high cholesterol, who smokes, and who needs to moderate his alcohol intake...

Chuck: The economy and national security will wait until his highness feels like doing his job.

Birdwoman: Exactly. We don't need governmental intervention to have parents slice hot dogs lengthwise and then into small pieces for a child. Go fix the economy and leave our hot dogs alone.

Brooke: Apparently not.

Jen: A flat hot dog is bologna
