I’d really like to know who requested that New York photo op.
I note that there is no mention anywhere of a chase plane, meaning the photos were intended to be taken from the ground. It’s possible that this mission originated at the Pentagon but my instinct is that He is behind this somehow.
Update:
Do I win?
Bumped:
The One, 100 days in, is less popular than Nixon and the Nasty Little Man.
According to Gallup’s April survey, Americans have a lower approval of Mr. Obama at this point than all but one president since Gallup began tracking this in 1969. The only new president less popular was Bill Clinton, who got off to a notoriously bad start after trying to force homosexuals on the military and a federal raid in Waco, Texas, that killed 86. Mr. Obama’s current approval rating of 56 percent is only one tick higher than the 55-percent approval Mr. Clinton had during those crises.
And the chickens haven’t even turned toward the roost yet. Except maybe one big blue one…
Here’s a factual, calm, rational piece about the Swine Flu. I had it vetted by the official Buttle’s World MD, who says, “Yes, that’s reasonable advice.”
Swine flu is one more strain of flu. It sounds really scary because it originally came from pigs, and that creates some mystery around it. It also sounds scary because we don’t have any vaccine to protect those who are most vulnerable.
But it behaves like other flus. We catch it the same way, and we can protect ourselves the same ways. We can make choices to protect ourselves and our families.
Do you fear the seasonal flu? Probably not. And this flu is really no more frightening than seasonal flu. In fact, to date, no deaths have occurred outside Mexico, whereas thousands die each year from seasonal flu.
Read the whole thing.
This just in:
Our MD has forwarded the CDC link on Swine Influenza which is updated at least every 24 hours. And here are their recommendations and even a page for clinicians.
