BIRD FLU VIRUS FLIES BACK ON STAGE


The H5N1 Bird Flu Virus was purported to be the next world-wide plague, capable of killing millions of people.  Fortunately, it turned out that you need to be in close contact with someone else who has the virus in order to get it yourself.  However, a group of Dutch scientists has created a new bird flu virus that can be transmitted simply by breathing or sneezing.  Officials are asking them not to make their findings public, as this could open the door for bio-terrorism, but the scientists want to make everything public. 

COMMENTS:
Why they had to experiment and create the advanced virus is beyond me.  What is this world coming to?  Now, we have an issue to deal with and a danger to worldwide security in the hands of some crackpot scientists.  According to the Mayan calendar, the world is supposed to end next year on December 21st, but I’m beginning to doubt that we can survive that long with idiots like this on the loose.  Next thing you know, they'll be White House Czars. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Now only 11% of the country thinks Congress is doing an acceptable job.  Who’s in the 11%?  (Betsy ~ Redding, CA)
A. Illegal aliens who want Congress and the President to let them vote in the next election.  If you think I’m kidding, keep your eye on the news. 

Q. They asked Sarah Palin the other night who she liked as a candidate and she indicated she wasn’t really sold on any of them and they asked her if she might go ahead and run and she ducked the question by saying it’s not too late for someone to get in.  Do you think she might run and, if she did, what impact would it have on the current field? 
A. I don’t think she is ready to handle Obama on the debate stage, but she might win anyway if she did run.  She is probably calculating those odds; if she teamed up with Gingrich or Bachmann, or even Perry, I think she would be tough to beat.  As for the rest of the field, I think she would immediately soar to the top of the charts and stay there, Romney would plummet, Gingrich would hold his own and the rest would go bye-bye.   

Q. I think it was a dirty trick for the Senate to refuse to put the House bill on the payroll tax cut to a vote, to then turn around and pass their own two-month bill and to have Obama make a speech against the House while the Senators headed home for the holidays.  They are just like a bunch of kindergarten kids in Congress.  Don’t they have even a hint of how angry we Americans are at them?  (Maureen ~ San Rafael, CA)
A. No, they have no hint.  They don’t want a hint.  They do not care what you or I think.  You need to understand that they are so self-absorbed that they have become demagogues.
