B.S. Time

Pig Flu----TV News, most especially NBC, is doing their best to start a panic and will leave no byte undisturbed in order to convince us that a "pandemic," (you know the one that has killed nobody in the U.S.) is the greatest menace since Bush-Cheney. Keep in mind that data from Mexico, a rural and mostly primitive country, is as reliable as Congress. A semi-literate population that is very poor is not a good place to adequately test anything beyond reading ability. Keep in mind that you can't catch pig flu from eating pig meat, but the hysteria over this is pushing hog prices way down and pig feed like soy and corn will follow.

If the Swine flu is soo contagious and came from Mexico why don't they close the Border? They quarantee people in the USA but the border is open. Hmmm
