I am going to keep smoking and not getting enough sleep until it goes away, just in case -- need to keep that immune system down!
And bacon! Don't forget to eat lots of bacon!
(Which I hear is the homeopathic remedy for swine flu.)
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I will eat plenty of bacon, not to worry. I figure bacon and eggs is even better, because isn't there some bird issue here as well?

You can never be too careful!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Jesse - you need to get one of those electronic cigarette thingies. I've been meaning to tell you. A parent of one of the kid's at mac's afterschool has one.

I read the Bachmann yesterday went on the floor of the house talking about how FDR's enactment of the Hoot-Smalley tariffs caused the Great Depression. Of course she's factually wrong in every possible way. You don't suppose someone on her staff is giving her this stuff and then cracking his or her shit up watching CSPAN?

Someone should really just start a fact-check Bachmann site and email footnoted or red-lined versions of her speeches to various news sources with the factual corrections.

That would be a big job.

Huh, I didn't realize that teaching cursive wasn't pretty much universal. They start it in 3rd grade here.
They don't teach it here: I think I saw it first in a movie when I was in the 6th or 7th grade. I can't read it, too.
Thanks for the flu info: I had some of the questions you asked in mind. And I'm gonna try Googling for "cytokine storm" with results in Hebrew, because it's late and I'm tired and it's big words as is.

My department is having its swine flu meeting at 4:00.
Our company is based in Toronto, and there was a whole bunch of contingency planning that went on after the SARS, so I'm expecting all kinds of overreaction.
