Don’t you know Weasel? We’ve already died from it already and we’re now just ghosts. Yes, blogging ghosts.

ZOMG! Hell is S.Weasel.

That explains it…

Cui bono? Obviously the meejah, because scare stories shift newsprint. Obviously Obama, because a distraction from how badly he’s buggering things about is welcome. Ditto thrice-beloved Gordon ‘Texture Like Sun’ Brown, for the same reason. Also the medical profession, because you hand a guy a stethoscope and he thinks it gives him license to hector all and sundry about not eating bacon or catching coughs and sneezes in your handkerchief. All of the above would like you to think this is the real-life version of Captain Trips and anything they do while it lasts is justified. For most people who aren’t profoundly ill already, a couple of days bed-rest, plenty of fluids and perhaps – perhaps – a dose of Relenza or Tamiflu will see you right as rain. We might all succumb to a flu pandemic one day. But not this time.

The plague of socialism garners hardly a mention, but the plague of “man-made global-warming flu” (or whatever they call it today)needs 24/7 attention. When a real disease threat occurs, absolutely no one will listen. Socialism has killed hundreds of million more people than H1N1. And if it doesn’t kill them, it robs their spirit. (Don’t get me started!)

That’s because socialism is a self-inflicted plague, like leisure suits and the auto-da-fé. Throughout history, Man’s singular ability to willfully suspend disbelief has resulted in the popularity of all sorts of fiction.

“Cui bono? Obviously the meejah, because scare stories shift newsprint.”

Well, quite. And now they’ve got a different kind of swine flu to sell, at least in the UK.

The kind that you catch from CDs of expense claim receipts.

the tirade I would have on this subject would take pages and use up my monthly allotment of the F word. I will have to pass, for all your sakes!

How does Al Gore get away with saying things like this?
“Talk about somebody that shouldn’t be talking about making the country less safe, invading a country that did not attack us and posed no serious threat to us at all,” Gore said of Cheney.
Does anyone else remember Kosovo?

Umm.. Dawn, would that be the one where we courageously bombed a TV station and where the recipients of our enlightened Clintonism gathered together on a bridge and sang Smoke on the Water while we heroically bombed the crap out of their defenceless ancient city in support of the Muslim hordes who were stealing their country?

There just isn’t enough piano wire…

“Paranoid Me thinks paranoid thoughts of paranoia. Reasonable Me thinks it’s probably because the thing is spreading like a pandemic, but not exactly killing like a plague. Wide but shallow. Bit of a dud, really.”

Two thoughts come to mind on the subject of paranoia:

(1) Just because you are paranoid, it doesn’t mean they aren’t out to get you and..

(2) Help! The paranoids are after me!

..also, dear Uncle Badger, didn’t we take out a Chinese Embassy or two while we were at it. Hmmmm. I wonder. If one takes out a Chinese Embassy, does one also get eggroll with that?

JuliaM: on the whole, I’m fairly sure the UK political classes would rather there were a genuine, apocalyptic, tanks-in-the-streets pandemic than submit to the level of scrutiny of their hoggish ways that they are currently undergoing. What’s a few million people dead compared to no-one finding out about the taxpayer buying you a 56″ plasma TV? Am I unfairly traducing our lords and masters? When one considers that that collection of individuals contains such turd blossoms as Peter Mandelson, Austin Mitchell, Gerald Kaufman, Ed Balls, Jacqueline ‘Jacqui’ Smith, Elliot Morley and Uncle Tom Cobbley and all, the question is by no means settled. These people would jugulate their granny in an instant if it were not for the fact that she’s on payroll.

“If one takes out a Chinese Embassy, does one also get eggroll with that?”

Now that’s funny.

I am very firmly in the ‘cockup’ vs. ‘conspiracy theory’ camp of history, but the idea that an out-of-date Yellow Pages caused the USAF to accidentally drop a JDAM in the back garden of the Chinese Embassy is too much even for me to swallow.

Войска ПВО – Actually, This week’s prize is a full order of General Tou’s Chicken………

“If one takes out a Chinese Embassy, does one also get eggroll with that?”

That was golden! Thank you!

[…] S. Weasel Does it strike you as odd that they’ve gone quiet about this thing? After grossly overplaying the looming plague, the daily sick-roll gets hardly a mention now. Paranoid Me thinks paranoid thoughts of paranoia. Reasonable Me thinks it’s probably because the thing is spreading like a pandemic, but not exactly killing like a plague. Wide but shallow. Bit of a dud, really. […]

Hi Weas!

A blood cell would be vastly larger. Perhaps those virii are all sitting on the surface on a blood cell.

I got a special king of “Flu” this weekend. It involves drinking, sunburn, and allergies.

OT
Islamic Tater Head is still creeping me out.

You’re right, Bob. After I thought about it, I realized the scale couldn’t be right. It wasn’t that long ago I remember seeing the first-ever photo of a virus, whereas old Leeuwenhoek saw red blood cells.

A virus is small enough to infect a bacteria. They are not really living organisms in that they can’t reproduce. They are DNA in a protein shell that enter a cell and reprogram it’s machinery to produce more copies of the virus. Anton rocked!
