Yes, Virginia, there really is a swine flu pandemic and it’s hit my home. Today my doctor confirmed it. Our personal rate of infection is 66.66666% since I got this from my daughter. The good news is now I’m part of history. The bad news (other than having the flu, that is)? I have a prescription for Tamiflu so I guess I’m helping make Donald Rumsfeld richer.
Ps. I so want one of those “I survived the Swine Flu Pandemic 2009” tees. I think if you actually get the flu, though the shirt should be free, don’t you?
Pps. Do we have any proof that Rumsfeld didn’t have use government funds to contract with some biotech company to engineer this flu? Just throwing that out for our tin foil hat crowd. I mean when you privatize everything, why not privatize the making of diseases. Easier for companies to predict their profits for the coming year that way, ya know.*
* It’s a joke wingnuts. Not as funny as the one where Supreme Court Justice Stevens eats poisoned creme brulee and dies, or a major Fox News Host encourages Al Qaeda to bomb San Francisco, but hey, we can’t all be masters of comedy like Ann Coulter and Bill O’Reilly.
