Swine Flu pandemic chock full of idiots
Porky Pig may appear bioterrorist to some, scapegoat to rest of world

Issue date: 5/11/09 Section: Opinion
Who could have known that Porky Pig was a bioterrorist? Since his creation in 1935, has Porky Pig been planning the "swine flu" pandemic so that he may someday rule the world? I could honestly say with a probability around 99.99 percent that the statements above have no relevancy of truth, but if you have been keeping up with the coverage of the current "swine flu" you will find that certain individuals believe Porky Pig is the one to blame for this pandemic.
For those individuals who have no obstacle that could interfere with one's ability in concerns to collective reasoning, who believe Porky Pig could be a bioterrorist, I say to you, "You are an idiot."
This "swine flu" (i.e. H1N1) has brought out many individuals who are idiots as well as idiotic ideals.
The first idiot up on the chopping block in my opinion is Michael Savage. He may have a big following of conservatives, but when he makes statements advising his listeners here in the U.S. on how to avoid the "swine flu" like "No contact anywhere with an illegal alien … that starts in the restaurants … I don't know if they wipe their behinds with their hands."
All of those statements helped earn Dr. Savage an "I'm an idiot" sign.
Another idiot who gets a sign is Boston talk radio host Jay Severin. When Severin was talking about the "swine flu," he called Mexicans crossing the Arizona border "criminaliens" and said hospital emergency rooms had become "condos for Mexicans." Fortunately the station he works for suspended him.
The next "idiot sign" goes to those who have become the voice boxes for the change of the name to "Mexican flu" instead of "swine flu" due to the Muslim and Jewish sensitivities over pork. Deputy Health Minister Yakov Litzman of Israel said the reference to pigs is offensive to both religions and "We should call this 'Mexican flu' and not 'Swine flu'," he said at a news conference April 26 at a hospital in Israel. Judaism and Islam consider pigs unclean and forbid the eating of pork products, but the interesting part is that scientists are unsure where the new swine flu virus originally emerged though it was identified first in the United States.

In regards to Jay Severins comments....the people he was referring to were "illegal" immigrants who illegally cross the border, hence "criminal aliens" or aliens to this country who are criminals. (Continued…)

Not to be mean, but I give you the "idiot sign" for being so judgemental. Who are you to decide whether or not there is going to be an apocalyse?! Not that I do believe there will be one, but I don't see how your being "99. (Continued…)
