Why I Started This Thing...

The short answer to this question is: Swine flu. (The long answer has a lot to do with the stress my constant hate-filled moaning puts on my relationship and my gastrointestinal health...but I'm sure that will be addressed at a later date.) I'm new to this, so if I ramble just stop reading (not that anyone would read anyhow).

There is so much conflicting information about this stupid flu. Mexico says they've had over 150 deaths, the WHO says there have been less than ten. The Homeland Security wench says closing the border won't help, many other countries have disallowed travel to, and entry from Mexico. Wash your hands frequently, wear a hazmat suit and lock yourself in your house a la Howard Hughes. Don't think twice about eating a suspect churro from a random street vendor, drive past a Taco Bell and death will be imminent. Get it? The reports have been contradictory.

What has me pissed about this is how everyone is politicizing it. Conservatives say it is yet another indicator of Obama's plan to create an EU-style North American Federation, abolish term limits and start throwing black bags over the heads of the opposition and showing them just how uncomfortable water boarding really is. Liberals use it to show everyone just how racist and ignorant the right is and point to it as a warning of the coming Republican-instituted internment camps, wherein anyone with melanin will be held indefinitely.

It's the fucking flu. (I hope you can curse on here. If not, I guess my blogging career will fail miserably.) If you get sick, drink some 7-up, eat some saltines, projectile vomit for a few days and get on with your life.

I do think it's entirely asinine of the DHS head to say that closing the border with Mexico will do nothing to stop the spread of the flu, but I think it has less to do with her political affiliation and more to do with her abysmally low IQ.

Solution: Let the Americans that are in Mexico come back, stop travel to and from Mexico until the threat passes, don't tongue kiss someone who just hacked up an unidentifiable foreign object and go back to worrying about things that really matter. Shut the fuck up about cloaks and daggers, racism, bigotry, impending death and black plague.

Oh goody...I'm now a faggoty blogger.
