This is my blog. I speak for no one but myself here. The words I write, the images I post, and the articles I link to interest no one but me. I stand by what I put here, however, it is not a reflection of time, effort, or particular care. I just want a clearinghouse of what does interest me and a space to spout out poorly written and thoughtout rants. Consider this a disclaimer.

Insult to Injury
when I was feeling a little bit better, something unexpected happened to force the bottom of my stomacch to drop out.
Yeah, bad week added to a bad two years.
I honestly do know if I can take much more.

from All Over Albany's Twitter:
alloveralbany: We should let the people at Wadsworth do their jobs before starting the planned local freak out about swine flu.

Porcine Death From the South Attracts Crazed Wingnuts
Need Ride to Cochise County Militia for Swine Flu patrols:
"It may be too late for Texas, California, New York City and Albany, but the rest of the country is still America, and we need to defend it from infectious diseases (drug resistant Tuberculosis, Swine Flu, Malaria) coming across the border from Mexico. Google: site:craigslist.org 'swine flu' Mexico border"
This has to be a wingnut Christmas...I mean...think about it...brown people dying, and a real excuse to believe in the End of Times.
So, all we need is our guns, God, and glory, and we will protect the REAL Americans...
Thanks to Ryan for the link.

Yeah, I know I am going to Hell for this

So, I am just going to ask...
Can I get it with "WLLHNG"?
Preparing for the Porcine Death From the South Pandemic
io9 - Eleven Visions of Life After the Great Epidemic - Swine flu
io9.com (which is one of the better scifi blogs [or is that syfy] out there) has a series of clips related to what we should expect from the Porcine Death from the South Pandemic aka PDftSP or Swine/Mexican Flu.
Watch a clip!

Conceding to FAU
Cranks turn on themselves. | The Awl:
"According to members of the “sportsmen community,” the Humane Society has a secret agenda to take away our guns, and they’re hiding it behind the public-friendly message of “don’t kill puppies."
You are correct, FAU. They no longer deserve a voice.

Twitter is the new Porcine Death of the South
Swine flu creates controversy on Twitter - CNN.com:
"Some observers say Twitter -- a micro-blogging site where users post 140-character messages -- has become a hotbed of unnecessary hype and misinformation about the outbreak, which is thought to have claimed more than 100 lives in Mexico."

Bail Out?
Desperate Albany Senate Says Any MTA Bailout Bill Will Do - Gothamist: New York City News, Food, Arts & Events:
"Malcolm Smith says that at this point, he'll support just about any bailout plan scrawled on a napkin—as long as it can get the minimum 32 votes needed to pass in the Senate. By the way, if you needed to Google 'Malcolm Smith' after reading that sentence, you're not alone—only one out of 29 New Yorkers approached by Clybe Haberman on the Upper West Side know who Smith is, either."
15 of those 29 New Yorkers believe that Malcolm Smith was the name of sitcom that ran on Fox and starred Frankie Munez.
The other 13 New Yorkers were too terrified to talk to strangers as they did not want "Porcine Death from the South".

Any ideas?
What Should New York State’s Official Rock Song Be? -- Vulture -- Entertainment & Culture Blog -- New York Magazine:
"So which track is worthy of the Empire State? Remember — it has to be relevant to upstaters, too."

Because...Mexican Flu is Kosher...
Swine Flu: Second Israeli hospitalized - Israel News, Ynetnews:
"Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman held a press conference Monday in order to update the public on developments regarding the epidemic in Israel, and recommended to use the term 'Mexican flu' rather than 'swine flu' for the virus."

Twiiter
FAU hates Twitter and I have to agree with him on a lot of his points. That being said, I do have an account, which is mostly used to update my Facebook.
However, I do like the Brain-Tweeting thing and I love that my favorite comic characters have their own twitters.

***Breaking News***
There is evidence to suggest that this is no pseudo-pandemic of Swine Flu.
Based on anecdotal evidence, it seems as if the dead are beginning to rise from the grave.
The Zombie-pocalypse is a upon us.
