Fat Leak on the Rails

On Friday, The Chicago Tribune reported animal fat leakage on the tracks of a Chicago commuter line.

Commuter rail service on Metra's Union Pacific West Line was temporarily halted at the height of the afternoon rush hour because a stalled freight train leaked animal fat onto the tracks, Metra officials said Friday.

Pork belly politics, animal fat leaks? What's next? An oil slick at Bush's Texas ranch? Ah, the Texas Ranch. Has anyone begun to market a ranch dressing honoring our president, once he's finally left office. The name: "Bush Ranch Dressing" probably won't sell many bottles, but if spilled on the train tracks there might be less slick and more friction.
