shoot I have to interrupt this program for an important announcement...
Salmonella cases linked to peanut butter top 600
Story Highlights• CDC: 628 cases of salmonella illness in 47 states linked to tainted peanut butter
• Outbreak traced to Conagra Foods plant; all company's peanut butter recalled
• CDC: Reported new salmonella cases dropped substantially after recall
• Conagra plans to reintroduce Peter Pan brand in July
OMAHA, Nebraska (AP) -- The number of people sickened since August by peanut butter tainted with salmonella has grown by more than 200, according to a new federal report.
The outbreak, first reported in February, now includes 628 cases in 47 states, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Thursday. It is the first update on the number of cases linked to the outbreak since early March, when officials said 425 cases had been confirmed in 44 states.
ConAgra Foods Inc. recalled all its peanut butter after government investigators linked the bacteria outbreak to the Omaha, Nebraska-based company's Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter.
The CDC said the number of new salmonella cases dropped substantially after the peanut butter was recalled.
The states with no illnesses reported are Hawaii, New Hampshire and Utah, the CDC said.
Wal-Mart has continued selling Great Value peanut butter -- its store brand -- that is made by different suppliers, but Peter Pan has yet to return to stores.
ConAgra plans to reintroduce Peter Pan in July. Initially, another company will produce the peanut butter because it does not expect to be able to resume production at its Sylvester, Georgia, plant until sometime in August, after renovations.
ConAgra officials have said they believe moisture in the plant most likely helped bacteria to grow and later infect the finished product.
Consumers who had jars of Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter with a product code on the lid beginning with "2111" were urged to throw out the peanut butter. The jars or their lids can be returned to the store where they were purchased for a refund.

I've thought about running. But the whimpering of my opponent being crushed by my landslide victory would be too great for even my cold, black heart to bear.

I assume that tippy's second post was intended to strike fear into my heart at the prospect of even considering a run.
Well, she succeeded.

It's a dead heat between Abbey and PaulB. Both those guys are just so gentle, kind and warm hearted. I wouldn't think of throwing a party without them.

Not at all. Simply a matter of concern for your health. Someone read the nutritional information of Miss Vickie's Recette Originale aloud to me this afternoon telling me that I shouldn't eat them because they have a lot of fat and salt and I said
"No shit, numskull, they're POTATO CHIPS" and put them away in my drawer.
People have a lot of nerve! Just want to make sure we get you a clean supply of PB, Brian, because that is the kinda thing that a "Best Person" would do.

Every year I vote for Tippy, and every year Nagel (or whatever his name is) wins. I've heard the fix is in again so I'm staying out of it this time.

I care less about who wins - I mean we all know already who will win - mostly I want to know when and where is the pageant.

That's only because they aren't both forced to up pics of themselves.

Every year I vote for Tippy, and every year I don't get any.
This year I am buying one of those scratch and sniff cards.

Tippy, I'm taking this opportunity to request full color photos of you in a bikini, preferably centerfold size, to assess your qualifications for this award. Nagel already sent his to everyone (shudders).

Will do, Noj! I'm going to the pool this weekend.
How come I didn't get Nagel's photos though?

Does anybody have a secret method for removing a mouthful of hamburger from a computer monitor?

No, no, no. It's never the same prize twice. 2008 will be a different award. I don't know what it will be yet, but I have a sneaking suspicion I know who's gonna win it.
