Hey Everyone,

So the mainstream media would have us believe that we’re all going to die because some pigs in a shithole made some people sick.

Of course this occurence is a CRISIS!!!

After all the ECONOMIC CRISIS!!! has been going on for six months now and it’s starting to wear thin.

The CLIMATE CRISIS!!! never really took on like radical leftists hoped.

Occasionally when a problem arises with education or health care, the media pulls out the old HEALTH CARE CRISIS!!! or EDUCATION CRISIS!!!

It’s been awhile since SARS and the avian flu over there in Asia, so I guess it’s that time in the news cycle to try to get people watching again.

My guess?

Pig flu will not get much worse over time. It was basically a local outbreak in a third world country that Americans and Canadians use to vacation in.

People who have it in other parts of the world will be just fine.

By this time next week, something else will have taken it’s place in the news cycle and people can panic all over again about some other CRISIS!!!

p.s.- every year 1,000,000 people die of malaria and does anyone really give a shit?

Things were pretty much over in 2007.

By 2008, the blogosphere claimed victory, since the mainstream media wouldn’t.

Only 100 days since Bush left office and already the seams are being tested, eh?

As much of a tool as McCain is, I still suspect he would’ve been better…

…oh well…if Obama is the Carter of 2008, I can’t wait to see who the Reagan of 2012 will be!!!

Getting federal aid or selling shares — two of the choices offered to the 19 lenders being tested — aren’t practical politically or financially, according to analysts including Jeff Davis, director of research at Howe Barnes Hoefer & Arnett Inc. in Chicago. Lawmakers have opposed adding to the $700 billion already committed, Davis said, and investors have balked at buying shares of financial firms after a two-year slide.

That leaves the third choice presented by Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner: changing the preferred stock held by the U.S. Troubled Asset Relief Program into common shares. Doing so would prop up capital under accounting rules, while diluting the investments of shareholders. SunTrust Banks Inc., KeyCorp and Regions Financial Corp., pegged by Morgan Stanley last week as the “most likely” to need capital, have dropped 70 percent in a year…
