If nothing else the fact that Governor Perry has requested federal aid to combat the swine flu epidemic is more than a bit amusing. Good thing their secession plans are still in their infancy eh Rick?

I’m sure the Surgeon General will be on TV very soon with some very comforting words and sage advice for all of us.

Speaking as a human, we’re do for a catastrophic event along the lines of an easily communicable bug that jumps over to us from the animal world.

Biology is a bitch.

Mel Kiper: “This virus has a lot of upside, sure it’s spreading slowly now, and it looks like the mortality rate is low, but it could really develop into a lethal, global pandemic. And I think some GMs see that, which is why Dan Snyder traded up in the draft to pick the Mexican Swine flu. Really, it’s the Mark Sanchez of the disease draft.”

I’m hoping this doesn’t end up being in any worse taste than it already is, but I have to ask, if there were a disease draft, what would Al Davis pick? My guess would be something that spreads really quickly, but ends up not affecting humans at all and is easily curable/preventable.. Cow pox? Hoof and Mouth Disease? Tobacco mosaic virus?
