Minnesota
By Mitch Berg
Minnesota reports its first “probable” case of Swine Flu:
Doug Schmitz, mayor of the town about 60 miles northwest of Minneapolis, said details on the case remain sketchy.”From people I’ve talked to no one seems really alarmed, though that could change once we get details,” Schmitz said. “At this point, everyone’s staying calm.”
Well, that’d be a good idea.
Let’s hope the regional media – which wets its pants over thunderstorm warnings – can do the same.

I’m with Bachman, influenza is just a natural by-product of nature. Pay it no mind.
I’ll start to worry when Sebelius creates a cloned-hybrid version in of her federal controlled labs.
Keep the feds out of microbiology!

President Obama today called for all Americans to remember to wash their hands. I’m wating for the DHS bulletin.

The free market will cure the swine flu, Slash.

Clowns are justly terrified by the swine flu because of the crowded conditions in those cars. One sneeze and the population can be wiped out! Which is why it’s all a right-wing plot, naturally.

When clown gets the swine flu, I suggest he go down to his favorite free clinic for help. All of us are going to have to get used to standing in line to have life-threatening illnesses treated.

So apparently Michelle Bachmann thinks swine flu outbreaks always happen when we have Democratic Presidents, which is “interesting”… except that Ford was president in 1976, not Carter. I get that she’s the perfect culture warrior for true believers, but isn’t it embarrassing when she’s also clinically stupid?

Did someone just escape from DumpBachmann?
