Sick

So I've got a sore throat, cough, fever and aching joints. I want to think, "just a bad cold." Then I think about the headlines and ask myself, "Who do I know that's been to Mexico recently." Or was it that pork burrito at the Mexican place Thursday?

Either that or Fred Phelps has prayed to his god, who is more powerful than I have given him credit to be.

What's part pig, part turkey and part human and very scary?

A frightening H1N1 flu strain which is a recombined strain of viruses from swine, bird and human strains, being passed from human to human in and near Mexico City.

The flu experts have been warning us about a bird flu crossover for a half dozen years, and they are concerned.

Reminds me of a certain Steven King novel.



Or a scene from a Monty Python film.
