Swine Flu, the greatest threat to the future of mankind since the birth of the evil George Bush.
Apparently a crisis is now defined as anything important enough to wake Larry King up in the middle of his program.
Here’s how CNSNews.com describes the reality of the croup du jour:
So far this year, only one person–a baby visiting from Mexico–has died of swine flu in the United States, but more than 56,000 people died from the flu in the United States in 2006, the most recent year for which data is available, according to the CDC. In 2005, the flu killed 63,001 people here. But the deaths did not merit presidential statements or admonishments on hand-washing.
But it’s a crisis, damn it. The World Health Organization is already predicting a second wave of scratchy throats and we’re already predicting a second wave of governmental crisis mongering.

But maybe so many wouldn’t have died in 2006 if our president had told us to wash our hands!
This administration will use anything to keep the masses in a crisis mode to prove that we need them.
It is mostly hype. A very young or very old person can die from a cold – the cold can compromise a sensitive immune system and before you know it, death arrives at the door. Almost happened to me at 7 years – colds, mumps, measles, chicken pox, Flu, pneumonia all in a row – nearly 8 months of illness and a death watch, at one point, besides. Took me a year to really feel better.One of my oldest memories is an hallucination from that time. (Brought on by High fever.)
Heck, one time my husband was endangered by an infected hair that was doing its best to become blood poisoning, red streaks and all. When the Doctor told me what it was I said ‘Hey let me look, I can use in my novel!’
LOL He is fine. Thank God for antibiotics.
WE humans are both incredibly resilient and incredibly vulnerable creatures.
All the books I ever read usually points to complications as the main culprit with the flu. There are really scary diseases and I am not saying the 1918 flu epidemic was not serious, 70 -100 million people world wide is nothing to ah, sneeze at… It was & it quickened the end of the war… but, so far, this is just another hype job by the media and our esteemed leader. News organizations make money by selling panic.
Clearly it is George Bush’s fault that these people died, he didn’t warn us. Obama’s great, his virus’ are less deadly, wow.
It is amazing how mighty, all knowing and all harming Bush always was while also being a complete idiot and fool, Chuck. The one thing you can say about the mainstream media and the liberal mindset is that none of them bother to rationally think about their logic.
LOL
I always thought that liberals had a father fixation on Bush (not sure if that is correct psycho-babble) .. He was both receiving all their hate/loathing for all authority figures, and also, all their Fear/respect/ awe for all authority figures. He had ceased to be a man and was an archetype.
