Just Sittin' Around Scratching My Backside Head

World "Goings- On" Make Everywhere On Me Itch...


I've half a mind to run out and buy myself a Pig this morning.

Not just any Pig mind you...I want a FANCY Pig if it's going to live at my house.

Mostly likely something of the Miniature Potbellyed variety--and those don't come cheap...something in the $1000 range for a 2 pound piglet.

"But Virgil," you ask..."don't you know about the world ending because of the media induced 'Swine Flu Epidemic?' "

"Heck, they're diverting planes from DC to Boston and the Vice President's saying stay off the planes in the first place and schools are closing and people are walking around with funny masks and the media and the CDC are warning of a Pandemic and AAAAHHHHHH AaaaaaaHhhhhhh
AaahhhhHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHH AaaaaahhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AhhhhHHHHHHH....

(taking a big breath here boss....)

"Jesus Christ and Elvis on a Bicycle"...can't we all just get a grip here for five minutes people?

It's the Flu...

THE FLU

Comes around every year in some variety or strain or form, and every year some people in the third world and some 100 year old retired school teacher in Paduca, KY dies from it, and then the world goes on without interruption.

The liberals blame the deaths on insensitive greedy Republicans that resent paying extra taxes and Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton charge racism and demand a new government program and the people at the Centers for Disease Control just sit around shrugging their shoulders and saying "we're on top of the situation" while they squint their eyes looking serious...

And another thing...

Remember that in recent year's past it hasn't been "the Flue" or this years variety of "the Flu" that's been the story, it's been the Government induced SHORTAGE of FLU Vaccine that's been the issue, and that caused the media to hyperventilate and Mothers to duct tape over the heads of their children and refuse to send them to school and daycare?

So this year (and last year) there was more than enough Flu vaccine to go around, so I think the media--not having the story for the Thanksgiving/Christmas news cycle--pulled the Flu story out of it's Butt and flopped it into the front page headlines to give them something to write about and hoping that their beloved President Obama and the Obamarama Nation of liberal government idiots could be seen in a good light handling the non-problem.

Somebody tell me I'm wrong here.

This is a bullshit story...or more correctly...a Pigshit story...stirred up for NOTHING.

It will accomplish nothing to freak out about the prospect of catching this years variant of the creeping crud.

And another thing...this Virus is not AIRBORN.

You have to come in direct contract i.e. shake hands with, kiss, or have sex with an infected man or woman (we won't talk about pigs here) else be sneezed on by someone sick to get the stuff.

Sitting on a bus or airplane breathing the same air as Typhoid Bob/Suzy won't get you ill.

Now will you please go make some coffee and read the morning paper and let me calm down a little please?

I'm getting too old to have to kick everyones asses for stupidity but the world just keeps on tempting me...
