Oh! They continue the fun a little bit in the article!:
SHREWSBURY, Pa. (AP) — A truckload of hot dogs spilled across a Pennsylvania interstate Friday after a crash that briefly **clogged the heavily traveled artery** in both directions.
Crews were stuck with a job they **did not relish** — rolling up the scattered tube steaks for disposal.
BRAVO AP!!!!!👏😂
AP NEVER has fun with headlines, a la e.g. nypost. This one they couldn't resist.😂

Okay, so some shit has happened today. Each of the below is shit that started down the creek earlier this week or last.
First, Trump and Dmitry Medvedev, former president of Russia, current Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of Russia, have been in a tweet shit storm this week reminiscent of that between Trump and Kim Jong Un ("My button's bigger than your button"] in Trump I. Medvedev send another turd Trumpside today with a reference to "how dangerous the mythical 'Dead Hand' can be". "Dead Hand" is the nickname for the Soviet, now Russian, "Perimeter" mutual assured destruction (MAD) deterrence system which automatically or semi-automatically (depending on your source) launches a retaliatory strike on a country that nukes Russia first. In response Trump repositioned two nuclear submarines to an "appropriate" location.
Second, Trump has been shitting all over Jerome Powell, Federal Reserve Chair (who Trump appointed in Trump I), for not cutting interest rates fast and deep enough to his liking. Wednesday the Board met again and decided in a 9-2 vote to keep interest rates where they are. Trump shat on Powell again. Part of the reason the Fed has been so cautious is the uncertain effects of Trump's tariffs on inflation and employment. At midnight today, Trump's worldwide tariffs went into effect. This morning, the Bureau of Labor Statistics published its monthly jobs report, with revisions to previous reports which they always issue. The July jobs report was bad. 115,000 new jobs was expected, which is paltry enough, but only 73,000 new jobs were added. Which is worse. Essentially, new hiring has all but stopped. Which was made clearer by the revisions to the May and June numbers. May report: 139,000 (estimated) jobs added; today's revision: 19,000. Which is the number of employees of Bank of America in Charlotte, North Carolina. June report: 147,000 (estimated); today's revision: 14,000, which is the number of people employees of "Greif", some company which I have no idea what they do. Still more grief for Trump, unemployment ticked up to 4.2% as 221,000 folks entered the bread lines, the equivalent of the entire workforce of "Japan Post Holdings", 82nd largest employer in the country (i.e. the U.S.), being laid off. And so this afternoon aforesaid Trump fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics head for delivering these grief turds to him.
