Heh---right wingers sneaking in from Canada----good one. BTW, she also revised the Extremism list.

Napolitano revises Extemism list, says Hugh Hefner's causing global silicone shortage. "I'm no boob," Hef asserts.


DHS Secy Janet (Butch) Napolitano said: "I am revising the Extremism Threat list and am adding Hugh Hefner to the list. At the G-8 summit, Pres Obama was appraised of global concerns that the world is running out of silicone. Hugh Hefner was named as the chief cause. Global leaders say the shortage is due to boobs, and blamed the US. "


The Smiling Messiah speaks: "I applaud Secy Napolitano for defending the world against boobs. I told world leaders it's America's fault---Hefner is causing the silicone shortage and is the source of America's chronic obsession with boobs. I've asked VP Viden to investigate the size and scope of boob jobs, and to report his (cough) findings to me."

=========================================

Hugh Hefner is accused of personally causing a silicone shortage and aiding and abetting America's chronic obsession with big boobs. Hefner denies the charge. Says he's not a boob.


"I'm no boob. The government is coming after me just because I'm financially hung and b/c I can't get it up without a forklift and duct tape. My TV show was cancelled, I'm selling the mansion and all my sex toys and orgy equipment. My Bunny Clubs closed, even my private jet is gone. Everything went downhill after Boobie, er, I mean Barbie, left me. "

“PAPER: Americans told to wear masks...”

This is getting a little absurd.

Why aren't we told to do this EVERY flu season? (along with no touching, kissing’ hugging, etc..)

For God's sake an AVERAGE of 36,000 die from the *flu* every year.

Purely political, INDEED!

Sounds like that book, “State of Fear”. I believe there was another written quite a few years back describing how the government controls the citizens behavior by keeping them in a constant state of fear.

Cold war
Korea/Vietnam
Iraq WMD’s
Korea nukes
Aids scare
Suitcase nuke scare
Herpes scare
Terror attacks
Iran nukes
Bio Weapons
EMP attack
Dirty bomb
Al Queda nuke navy
Pirates
Anthrax
Smallpox
Global financial meltdown
Flu pandemic

Every time a crisis subsides, it always seems like another just magically POPS up.

Just sayin?

“The virus is an influenza A virus, carrying the designation H1N1. It contains DNA from avian, swine and human viruses, including elements from European and Asian swine viruses, said the CDC.”
IMO, this wasn’t a *natural* occurence.


I have been wondering same thing...

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano sought to assure Americans”

Oh Thank Goodness, the Janet is right on top of this. We are doomed!

Posting HTMLWell, glad she is on top of this (/sarc) she has been rather busy defining right wing terrorists (you know, the pro-life, veteran types) & those Canadian Muslim terrorists sneaking in over Canadian border. I have sooo much confidence in her assessment NOT.

When the government says it’s OK, it’s likely not.

Yea, but could you imagine these bozos with Al Queso, Queda, bubbling up a concoction of various flus, putting it in a vial to smash in an urban area.

I just don't see it. Akmed and Uerdo would be runnin a fever before they could get it outta of the cave.

I think we need to be prepared on some level for trouble for alot of reasons—health, economic, weather-related. Whether it is naatural or a manufactured crisis—for political purposes, or real, it is wise to keep on top of it and make sure that you don’t need to depend on government for protection.

I have increased my supply of natural anti-virals, hand cleaner, etc. 36,000 may die annualy— likely very old and weak, but this Mexiflu is an interesting mix of viruses that we have not seen. As has been previously posted, the 1918 flu started in Kansas and first emerged as a fairly begnin flue and then reemerged as a fierce killer.

I personally am trying to keep the philosophy prepare for the worst, hope for the best. I know that if there was an outbreak where I live, I could hold up for at least a couple weeks. Given our world, I don’t think it is overreacting, but rather wise.

I wonder how soon it will be spread by the fresh produce we import from Mexico and handled or coughed on by a Mexiflu victim/carrier. Should I be concerned?

THIS JUST IN----OBAMA IN MEXICO GREETED BY MAN WHO DIED DAYS LATER OF SWINE FLU SYMPTOMS

You know who's standing in line for Tamiflu ........


The Smiling Messiah speaks: "Get outta my way you peons. Remember who gets to be president if I can't continue."

"Hi there, Americans. I'm having my colon cleansed....just in case."

=======================================

I would give a big smooch to anyone who can dig up a pic of Obama shaking hands with this guy Solis (who died of swine flu just days later). Course it’s a common name-—but the guy could be a relative of Patty Solis— the latina who screwed up Hillary’s 2008 campaign.......and was fired.

============================================

One of the signs that Obama might have swine flu.

I also want to know if he kissed the kiddies when he got home---- and whether he manhandled Mrs Obama with the swine flu handshake hand.

I would say to keep your hands as clean as possible, wash frequently, try not to rub your face, eyes, nose unless you wash the hands before doing that...

Hand sanitizer would probably be a good thing, in moderation...I have heard that the hand sanitizer tends to not be effective if you constantly use it (obviously)...

Go to the doctor for a quick (snapshot) of the body if that is feasable...And be ready for a rush on Tamiflu...See if the doctor can keep a dose ready, or just go ahead now and get it...

That’s what I am planning on doing soon, unless someone tells me not to...
