We might want to divert our attention a bit from such monumental issues as gay marriage & prisoner torture, and pay close attention to this Swine Flu

Although it seems very difficult to even guess right now at how big and widespread this flu outbreak might become, the potential seems to be there for something extremely serious.

By the way, what is the over/under in Vegas for how long it takes the far left and/or far right to being politicizing this issue and trying to blame Bush or Obama or some other individual person for causing the spread of swine flu? It would seem ridiculous on its face that the same could even occur to me, but given the ever-worsening political climate in this country that I've witnessed over the past 10-15 years, I've come to fully expect that sort of thing. Sad, to the last.
