while Specter agreed to do whatever he damn well pleases<\/a>. I have no idea why Democrats should try and save Specter’s ass. If he’s going to keep voting with the Republicans, then let the asshole lose in a Republican primary to some wingnut who’ll get is clocked cleaned by Joe Sestak in the general. Now Sestak will need to blow a bundle of money to defeat Specter in a Democratic primary. How the hell the folks in PA can keep electing somebody who doesn’t support working people or public healthcare is beyond me.<\/p>\nSpeaking of healthcare, another local school is closed for a week because one kid had the dreaded Swine Flu. Oy. Last I saw, there were 809 confirmed cases worldwide. Out of 6.7 billion or so people, that amounts to about .000012%. Of course, in the US, the numbers are far scarier – about .000064%. <\/p>\n
Be afraid, people; be very afraid. And be vigilant. Somewhere out there, there’s a pig with your name on it. <\/p>\n
They say the first symptom is starting to look like Khalid Sheik Mohammed.<\/p>\n

I had an extremely disturbing moment this morning. Got up as I usually do, and proceeded to head for the bathroom with my animal entourage – the dogs trailing dutifully behind, and the cats swirling figure eights between my legs in a desperate plot to kill me. I made it to my destination unscathed, only to wonder what in god’s name would possess Granny to hang a poster of Khalid Sheik Mohammed on our bathroom wall. I must admit, the realization that I was wearing a white t-shirt and looking into the mirror was quite horrifying. This was no way to start the work week.<\/p>\n
