While You Were at the Bar 7/22

News you can use:

The driver of a backhoe was shot and killed in Jerusalem today. The Palestinian man drove over several cars and struck the Number 13 city bus before police shot him. The incident took place near the hotel where Barack Obama is scheduled to stay tonight. Israel is labeling the event a terrorist attack, just as they did for a similar event three weeks ago where a Palestinian construction worker drove a piece of equipment into several vehicles, killing three people. Oddly enough, the Number 13 city bus was also a target in the July 2 attack.

A 29 year old PFC at Ft.Bliss, Texas who had been reported missing Friday was found Sunday. The woman was assaulted, raped and kidnapped by her husband who was distraught after hearing that she was going to end the marriage.

It's the jalapenos, people! The same strain of salmonella that has been making people sick (originally attributed to raw tomatoes) has been found on jalapenos from Mexico at a Texas food supplier. Tomatoes still may be the cause of the original outbreak, but it is probable that they came into contact with infected jalapenos.
