I love a conspiracy theory, how about you?
Although this one isn't necessarily new -- lots of folks have opined about the convenient coincidence of an escalating so-called pandemic mixed with an under-supply of vaccinations while the country debates healthcare reform -- it's all the more delicious when it comes from a rock star of some note.
With that in mind, when singer, songwriter, and leader of the now defunct alternative band The Smashing Pumpkins suggests swine flu "is not a naturally occurring virus," and that "President Obama has declared a national emergency" when "there isn’t one," you have to pay attention just for the entertainment value alone.

So, will he be called a racist?
His wife is Alexandra Llewellyn, Colin Powell's niece. I bet family gatherings were interesting, like the rest of us, during the election;)
A quote on wikipedia from him says, “I’ve made up stuff that’s turned out to be real, that’s the spooky part. I like writing. It's the most fun I've ever had at anything. You can build your own little world and — like a kid with his toy trains, — except instead of trains I have tanks and ships and airplanes and things... I get to make them do all the things I want them to do, and if I don't like the way things work out, I start again. The information is all out there, if you go looking for it, and the classified stuff just comes from analyzing the unclassified stuff and connecting the dots.”
(Sounds like he could be a FReeper, connecting the dots and all)
It does make one wonder what “dots” he connected to come up with Rainbow Six though.....Scary times.
The ending is totally sweet;)
Sssshhhhh. America faces big problems. This is no time for rational thinking.
Hm, no Billy Corgan in that screen cap. Are they trying to recruit Homer?
SP: "Hi Homer, we're the Smashing Pumpkins."
Homer: "and I'm Smiling Politely."
Billy Corgan with hair? Or maybe this was an early episode from back before Corgan shaved it off. Either way, having Homer be the opening act for the Smashing Pumpkins is pretty funny.

I thought it was the Swine Flu Vaccine. A little Mercury on the brain...
