WASHINGTON - A California produce company recalled bagged fresh spinach Wednesday after it tested positive for salmonella.
There were no immediate reports of illness linked to the tainted spinach, distributed by Metz Fresh LLC of King City, Calif.
The recall comes nearly a year after an outbreak of another pathogen, E. coli, in fresh spinach killed three people and sickened another 200.
The recalled spinach was distributed throughout the 48 states and Canada and sold in both retail and food service packages. It covers 8,118 cases of spinach, although the company said more than 90 percent of that was on hold and would not be released.
While only a single sample from one of three packing lines tested positive for salmonella, the company said it moved to recall all the spinach packed that same day as a precaution.
If I remember right, the last spinach recall had something to do with animal feces getting into the spinach fields from adjacent pasturage.
Ah. This little onstage rant by the Motor City Madman is causing a huge stink in Moonbat circles. It seems Mr. Nugent has "threatened" Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton with murder (among other liberal lights such as Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer). He even started his rant with a thinly-disguised suggestion directed at California Governor Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger.
This little bit was apparently recorded by a concert-goer in Oroville, California on 22 August. Thus, the rant's focus on California politicians.
Here's a transcript of his rant:
(Brandishing two automatic rifles.) Hey, Arnold! Suck on this one time, you putz.
I was in Chicago last week. I was in Chicago, I said, "Hey, Obama! You might want to suck on one of these, you punk."
You don't get that? Obama. He's a piece of shit. And I told him to suck on my machine gun. Let's hear it for him.
And then I was in New York. I said, I said, "Hey, Hillary. You might want to ride one of these into the sunset, you worthless bitch.
And since I'm in California, how about Barbara Boxer? She might want to suck on my machine gun.
Hey, Dianne Feinstein! Ride one of these you worthless whore.
Any questions?
Freedom!
Actually, he didn't threaten to murder anyone. He did suggest, however, that certain Democrats do all of us a favor and commit "the deed" themselves....
Needless to say, this little exercise of First Amendment rights has caused quite the stir among the nutroots. The Moonbat-O-Sphere is all a-twitter, as it were.
And how terrible of that Ted Nugent fellow to "threaten" those poor people, like that!
But here's how one o' them "kinder, gentler" Moonbats responded to the YouTube video:
Ted Nugent is a period stain on this planet. I'd love to cock my gun in his mouth and do the world a favor. This crack smoker and all people who think like him should be carted away to a death camp, and put on the short list to go first! I wish he was one of Michael Vick's pit bulls!!! [Emphasis added by moi.]
Yes, of course! That little bit was much more reserved and reasonable than Nugent's was, you stupid little prick.
Of course, a ruckus ensued on Hannity and Colmes:
I'm with Ted on this one. Bob Beckel and Alan Colmes can suck on one of those machine gun thingies, too, as far as I'm concerned.
