They always deflect from the basic issue. It's not that we don't want the shit and pathogens washed off the chicken right before packaging; it's that we don't want it raised and processed in that stuff in the first place.

Where's the vinyl record with the narration and the not very musical "tunk" sound that tells you when to change the slide?

It really should to be obvious to anyone with two brain cells to rub together. Unfortunately that doesn't describe anyone in the executive branch or evidently very much of the legislature.

Um, can you do it again? Some of us missed it.

Runs rings round the other ones

Well, he says he did. He claims to have seen action for which somehow the military has no record.
