Mr. President, Just Get the Flu Shot

Mr. President, Just Get the Flu Shot

Can we stop pretending that the President of the United States is just a regular guy? Can we just accept that the President is actually the President? Of the United States? Can we do that?
The President told CNN’s John King that the First Family will
“stand in line like everybody else” for the flu shot.

After watching Britian’s Got Talent singer, 12-year-old Shaheen Jafargholi, perform at the Michael Jackson memorial, I thought to myself (and posted to facebook because… that’s my addiction), “I want my own white boy.”
But then I read about Rupert Grint and his bold battle with Swine Flu. Swine Flu?! Get the f out of here. I [...]

Breaking News... It's a pandemic!!

And YOU thought we were over with the Swine Flu, eh? Well, WHO says you’re wrong, AND CNN agrees!
And when did Roger Daltrey become the end-all, be-all of pandemics?

the swine flu Influenza H1N1-A strain of the flu? I thought this was going to cut the world’s population by 15%. Remembering back to CNN/MSNBC/FOXNEWS/Sun-Times Headlines – the fact that I was still walking away was a miracle enough.
Do you think the drug companies are super-pissed we aren’t still talking about it? And [...]


The Flu Marketers Have Heard My Cry

The Flu Marketers Have Heard My Cry

I don’t want to make a big deal out of this, but apparently a major world health organization is a frequent reader of Schadenfreude.net. I’m not saying who, but just trust me on this one. 
The good news is that they’ve listened to us, and are finding it necessary to change the name of swine flu.
 


Good Morning.

Flu Needs New Marketing

Flu Needs New Marketing

Flu is unpleasant for sure, and yes it sometimes kills people. But I think one of the biggest problems concerning the flu is the inappropriate response to it. People seem to go one of two ways on this. They either freak out, buy duct tape and stay inside the house for a week, or they [...]

What's the over/under

For when the Right-Wing (led by your buddy and mine, Rush) actually come out and say that putting up a big wall between the US and Mexico is the only thing that could have prevented the spread of swine flu?
I’m just curious. You know it’s gonna happen. He’s writing the tirade right now.


I can solve this Swine Flu pretty easily…

I can solve this Swine Flu pretty easily...

I saw Outbreak. Pretty good movie with a pretty hot Rene Russo. If the CDC and the WHO paid any attention to Hollywood – you would find that this is waaaaay easier than everyone is making it out to be.
Allow me to explain.

Ok - Can anyone tell me...

What was Air Force 2 doing flying around the Statue of Liberty? I’ve been traveling, and all I’ve got are headlines and pictures of people running in the streets because Air Force 2, along with a couple F-16s, were flying around Ground Zero and the Statue of Liberty.
It seems to me that no one [...]


Swine Flu Update: Day 2.

Swine Flu Update: Day 2.

Ok. Day 2 from when I started paying attention to it. So far, I have cut out all pork products from my diet. And I’ve stopped interacting with people who handle swine for a living.
I also wash my hands after touching the keyboard on my computer, and I watch House on USA. [...]
