So Canada has reported an incidence of BSE (mad cow disease)?

Big deal. The California Congressional members (Sens. Feinstein and Boxer, Reps. Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Lee, to name but a few) have shown symptoms of "mad cow" disease for decades.

True, but they can redeem themselves by their ability to personally solve the "natural gas" shortage that Alan Greenspan is warning about.
