Hell, I thought it was about Regina Spector!

I was going by the news today.

Concerns over the swine flu continue to make headlines. The media are reporting that a 23-month old child from Texas is the first person to die of the swine flu in the U.S. The World Health Organization said it may raise the threat level to 5, one notch below 'pandemic'. According to the Center for Disease Control, there are now 91 cases of the swine flu in the U.S.

Well, MAY ain't IS, pal o' mine.

I 100% truly, honestly, would rather have Jay Bennett sit in my lap and sing 'My Darling' to me

This is my definition of the tenth circle of Hell

And just so you are aware of the WHO threat levels, once we are to level 6 martial law is automatically imposed, which the document I posted lays out clearly. We are now one level away with no improvement in the situation. Something to think about.

We're actually two away. Level 4+1=5.

Are you kidding? It's not too late. We have under 200 cases in the USA currently. Now would be the ideal time to take steps such as travel restrictions and closing the border if the threat was as bad as they claim. All they are doing now is setting up the perfect circumstances for it to be spread all over this country. And telling you to wash your hands against an airborne virus is useless.

I want the swine flu now. Just because of this post.

Oh Jesus Fucking Christ

I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure I'm guilty of at least one act of sexual harassment every single day. I've never had a complaint against me, which just proves that I'm doing it right.

Ah, the Germans love pork!

But for me, NOT ONE pre Sky Blue Sky song is improved live because of Nels.

Kingpin is far better.

When they say “pigs”, are they really referring to Westerners?

I don't think so. Egypt is one of only a handful of Muslim countries that even allow pork in their borders.

Edit: This pig slaughtering thing was what I was talking about before. When paranoia hits and they start killing the livestock, there goes the farmers. And outside of outfits like Smithfield, smaller pig farms are pretty important.

You think we're over-reacting?!

Egypt Slaughters Entire Pig Population

Granted, its a Muslim country and there aren't millions of them, but boy, that's one way to go. (Although we are way passed worrying about it from pigs now).

Last night, Geraldo Rivera was referencing Steven King

this stuff is pretty scary. a lot of people think the dinosaurs were wiped out by a similar epidemic. when tectonic plate shifting caused Asia and North America to connect, animals were able to migrate around the world with much more ease. they, inevitably, carried disease with them which creatures from other continents were not accustomed to. thanks to our little mosquito buddies, disease spread quite rapidly thus the dinos died.

 

we're more advanced than the dinosaurs, obviously, but with the way viruses can acclimate to their surroundings, this threat is still very real.

 

i seriously need to stop watching the History Channel. thanks to their current programming, i'm convinced that the sun will blow up soon or that ufos will fly out of their secret bases in the ocean and attack us.

I thought the dinosaurs were all wiped out by that big hole in New Mexico.

Is pitchfork making fun of the new album title? The "Hahahahahahahahahahaha" under the headline made it seem that way to me.

If Pitchfork were a guy, instead of a little French girl, I would punch him.

I hope House can figure this out.

Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter will switch from the Republican to the Democratic Party, multiple sources tell CNN.

And he's going to jail for murder? That's craz..what's that? Not the same...oh, oops.

"Ain't No Top Forty Song"-Terry Allen

They just did what they said can't be done

There's also something to be said for doing a little research and buying local. Almost every community has an adjoining farming base. Or one within reasonable distance.

Edit: Not to make this into a farming thread, but they are related.

Swine flu traced to manure lagoons

Its a pretty sad story. There's been stories about Smithfield being a pretty disgusting company for a while.

Verlander actually won a game. The Yankees look terrible.

Has anyone mentioned Sweet Relief? I don't know if it would apply, but it might be an option.

Sweet Relief

I'd say Animal Collective if I knew what the hell they were saying.

Nudie...Panther...grab yer bats. You're up!
