No school tomorrow, thanks Pig Flu!

The world is coming to an end! First Comet Kahoutek, then Y2K and now this!

I wonder if this pig flu was implanted by all those minutemen patrolling the Mexican border.

So far PA has been spared. Are they really closing the school Swamp? I read that there were only 2 confirmed cases in CT. Queens, NY has the worst of it in the northeast.

Yup. Apparently a teacher at the middle school went to Cancun on vacation so the hysteria has started.

Fire up that smoker, Chad. We've got the world to save one delicious pig at a time!

I'm ready and willing to do my part. You and your fam should come to PA and wait it out. My smoker and grill can handle the demand.

2 in Kansas... They've been quarantined awaiting extermination. I guess its a husband and wife, the wife was recently in Mexico.

On the bright side, I bet a week vacation to an exotic Mexican beach would be ridiculously cheap right now. All you have to worry about is getting murdered by drug cartels and death from an exotic flu.

Stop it! Now I am hungry!

I cannot believe the hype about this in the media. So far on the morning news they have had 8 minutes on the Swine Flu.

On Kudlow last night the talk was about the flu.

It seems that the flu has taken over and things like GM going bankrupt no longer matter...

On the not funny side, during the ride to work this morning I heard a 23 month old in Texas died from it.
