Vice President Gives Travel Tips

The federal government announced this week that the swine flu will now be referred to as H1N1. Fear is spreading faster than the flu, but taking the word swine out of the name won't stop the paranoia. However, the pork industry is pleased, especially after it has seen a sharp drop in sales. Vice President Joe Biden did his part to stir up controversy by advising everyone to stop using planes and subways, and to stay out of confined spaces. So I'm not going to be going out anytime soon. And I'm not letting my pig in the house.

  1. Changing the name of the swine flu may have helped the pork industry, but now the makers of the H1N1 droid are up in arms. Does the government think we are stupid enough to believe that you can get the flu from a robot?

  4. This is a serious subject. You can put lipstick on a pig, but I'm not letting it in my house either.

  5. Barrack Obama at the 2009 White House Correspondent's Association Dinner:
    “All this change hasn’t been easy,” Obama said , reflecting on his early days in the White House. “Change never is. So I’ve cut the tension by brining a new friend to the White House. He’s warm, cuddly, loyal, enthusiastic, and you have to keep him on a tight leash because every now and then he goes charging off in the wrong direction and gets himself in trouble.” Pause…. “Enough about Joe Biden,” he deadpanned.

  6. It's good to find out the swine flu is not as bad as originally thought. And Joe Biden is always good for a laugh.
