Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm waiting with bated breath to find out precisely how this is Obama's fault.

Obama's high taxes are cutting into the amount of bacon people can bring home. Less bacon equals more pigs equals more swine flu.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

CLEARLY the swine flu pandemic is a Zionist Socialist plot to trick us into accepting universal healthcare.

Funny you should mention. I'm finding that I have some trouble taking this panic seriously because I associate the phrase "Swine Flu" almost entirely with the Ford administration.

It reminds me of my mom, and Pigs in Space.

I don't know how I didn't see it before. Four years of Obama and we'll be Sweden. Could be worse for us men folk, but women folk are going to have to learn to be blonder and taller.

Actually, there is an interesting political connection. During the debate over the stimulus package, Susan Collins and Arlen Specter got $900 million for pandemic flue preparations dropped from the final bill. It was part of the whole "laughing over silly-sounding programs" that ended up biting Jindal in the butt when Mt. Redoubt blew.

Oh...maybe the swine flu jokes were on Veternarian's Hospital?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Gudanov, The Daily Show had a two-part series with Wyatt Cenac in Sweden investigating just that!

I have stopped watching TDS because I've been too busy with other things. I'll have to catch that on video, it sounds good.
