Swine Flu, time to panic 898 people are sick globally. Ha ha what a load of media crap.

I love a good pork chop wrapped in bacon, stuffed with sausage and served on a nice bed of cubed ham just like the next guy and I have had it with the Swine Flu paranoia that is sweeping the planet.

My god is this country so eager to hear about anything but the global economic crisis and endless stories of families being evicted, retirements lost and huge bailouts that we grab onto a flu bug and create a worldwide panic to make ourselves feel better. I can see the writing on the wall just like the next guy as these new strains of antibiotic resistant bugs start to make there presence known but cannot stomach the way the media takes hold of any possible story and blows it all out of proportion.

In this case we have a Flu bug that has infected 898 people out of an estimated 6,777,512,404  according to the most recent estimates. Wholly shit how is this getting so much coverage? All across the country schools are shutting down and people are staying home from all activities. This is just what our economy needs right now the media scaring the shit out of everyone so they stay home and leave the struggling businesses empty because they are afraid of some flu that is so rare it should not even be on the radar.

Now before you all start bitching at me about an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure I want you to know I agree. But a small dose of common sense goes a hell of a long way on this planet that seems to decide reality based on whatever the local assholes on the news think will get us to tune in.

Lets go ahead and file the Swine Flu right along side of Y2K and whatever bullshit media craze they are cooking up next to keep the uninformed up at night and generating add revenue.

Note to self, time to build a website focusing on providing survival supplies, magical flu potions, x-ray glasses, and of course gourmet bacon because bacon makes everything better.

Air Force one- Slow and low that is the tempo, just be glad the rap music wasn’t and all the windows tinted.

As Air Force One buzzed the towering buildings of New York this week ala Maverick and Goose, I kinda rolled my eyes and thought, “That was dumb.”  Then, I almost simultaneously had the thought, “That is kinda fucking funny.”  I know, I know poor taste and all, but holy shit.  How many times do we try to make our friends piss themselves?  I can only wonder how many geriatrics and kids literally lost their mud.
However, this isn’t really the topic I wanted to talk about.  One sec,  hang with me.  I can’t reach my beer.
The White house has released wussified statements basically of “We’ll look into it.”  or, “We are going to investigate the Pentagon.”
What?  Dude.  You’re the mother fucking President.  Not just “A” man.  “THE” man.    You’ll look into it?  Ummmm.  hmmmmm.  This isn’t like some asshole went and took your car for a joy ride.  I mean… Fuck it never mind.   Investigate the Pentagon for not informing people this was going to happen?  Hahahaha.  Air Force One doesn’t call ahead for reservations.  It is flying-fucking-Air Force One!  It doesn’t make announcements on where it is, or where it is going to be.  Like, ’cause, maybe that isn’t a secure way for it to transport the President of the USA?!  Man.  Why are you all making weak ass excuses?  Are you worried about public opinion?  Sad people might not like you?  Mr. President.  Man up.
I mean, you’re the mother fucking president son!  I’d have loved to see a press conference like this, “Fuck yes I sent that low over the most famous skyline in the world.  Haha, yeah, I did have an F-16 chasing it… OH I call BS, you’d do it if you could.  Hmmm?  Why did I do it?  That is a dumb question.  I did it, because I’m the most powerful man in the world.  No, I’m not sorry.  Next question… Was it dumb?  Oh completely haha.  Look, I said I’m not going to apologize.  Why?  BECAUSE NOTHING HAPPENED!  Come on people, chill the hell out.  Oh really?  You’re gonna kick my ass?  Yeah?  You and what army?”.  Man.  That would be awesome.  Well, I guess I can hope.
