Unless you have been living in a mountainside shack, cut off from the rest of civilization, you are certainly aware of the dreaded “Mad Cow Disease” and the potentially devastating effects it could have on human beings. We have been warned by scientists and politicians alike about this horrible malady but being the meat-loving nation that we are, most of those warnings have gone unheeded. 

Until this point many of us felt that Mad Cow Disease was something that only happened to other people in far away lands, not unlike our reaction to terrorism pre-9/11. However, similarly again to 9/11, when we witnessed events unfold in front of us on national television our collective feeling of safety was forever shaken.

Speaking at the Senate Confirmation Hearings on Judge Samuel Alito,  Senator Ted Kennedy lost his vaunted composure and launched into an uncharacteristic tirade that left those in attendance taken aback.

“Senator Kennedy displayed all of the classic signs of MCD,” stated noted epidemiologist Dr. Hamid Sarshar. “Illogical thought patterns, poorly modulated voice volume, a grandiose perception of ones own abilities and excessive drooling. These symptoms look very much like those associated with excessive alcohol consumption, and that in fact is the differential diagnosis in this case. However, there is no way a sitting U.S. Senator with all of the publicity that he receives would be able to consume enough alcohol to display these effects.”
