SWINE FLU ON THE RISE


Attendees at state fairs are being warned not to pet the pigs; a new strain of the swine flu virus can now transmit directly to humans.  Fairgoers are advised to wash their hands and avoid taking food and drinks into livestock barns.

COMMENTS:
Gosh, I guess that means the Democrats can’t hug each other during their convention, ether? 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I see the Federal Appeals Court turned down Texas’ voter I.D. law.  Are they saying that they don’t care who votes in this country anymore?  (Charlotte ~ Raton, NM)
A. Governor Perry is making much ado about nothing.  The court ruling said that voter I.D. laws are okay as long as those affected can readily and easily comply with the law so that it is not adversely impacting the poor and minorities.  In the case of Texas, it said that some residents would have to travel too many miles and that the law as written could discriminate.  So Texas has two choices: rewrite the law so that it more closely resembles similar laws in other states that the Supreme Court has held to be Constitutional, or appeal the latest ruling, in which case I think the Supremes might side with the appeals court.   

Q. Hollywood and the liberal left are sure dumping on Clint Eastwood.  Can’t a man speak out about his convictions in this country without being ostracized?  (Red ~ Redding, CA)
A. Not if he’s a conservative.  Now, if Clint had spoken at the Democratic Convention, they’d all be gushing with praises.  The Democratic Party is old and stale and needs a name change to more closely resemble its image:  How about, “The Hypocritical Party of America?” 

Q. Is Iran really actively supporting Assad in Syria?  (Benny ~ Pocatello, ID)
A. Iran just sent a warship loaded with arms up the Suez Canal to Syria.  What’s more, the U.S. asked Egypt to deny passage to the warship and Egypt refused.  Obama sure has a lot of clout in the world, doesn’t he? 

TODAY’S QUOTE:
I just think it is important that you realize that you're the best in the world. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican or whether you're libertarian or whatever, you are the best. And we should not ever forget that. And when somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go.” ~ Clint Eastwood (Bye-bye Barry)
