IS THAT A DEAD CHICKEN WITH ROPEY PHLEGM OOZING OUT OF IT'S BEAK OR ARE YOU JUST GLAD TO SEE ME?

I'm a bit behind the rush on this one, but I find two things interesting about this. Two events headlined in the papers in as many days. First and foremost, the CDC has reconstructed the spanish flu virus from 1918.
In 1918-1919, the so-called Spanish flu killed some 50 million people -- including 675,000 Americans. Most of the victims were healthy people in the prime of life.It was an avian flu.
Secondly, Bunnypants makes a speech about a potential avian flu pandemic, and rambles on about calling in the military to deal with it.
Anybody ever read The Stand by King? Some yahoo at the CDC dropped a petri dish and wa-laa, end of the world as we know it. Is this life imitating art? Does the GOP read King? Well...that's just crazy, so let's stick to what we know...
We've got these people at the CDC reconstructing a virus that killed millions and a retard president talking about a flu pandemic at the same time.
If anybody drops a petri dish, lets hope they drop it in the oval office.
I'm just sayin'.
