according to a study from The Ohio State University, which proves, with math and stuff, that lots of conservatives seem to not understand the intrinsic, underlying joke of The Colbert Report:

…there was no significant difference between the groups in thinking Colbert was funny, but conservatives were more likely to report that Colbert only pretends to be joking and genuinely meant what he said while liberals were more likely to report that Colbert used satire and was not serious when offering political statements.

Aren’t non-believers the largest minority now?

I remember getting that swine flu shot back in the day. It was at the Springfield Mall and the operation was run by the feds I think. Anyway I was told it was just like Sar Trek, except on Star Trek it doesn’t hurt like hell.

So, how did genetic material from pig, bird and human flu combine all by themselves??

Swine-flu outbreak could be linked to Smithfield factory farms

…Is Smithfield Foods, the world’s largest pork packer and hog producer, linked to the outbreak? Smithfield operates massive hog-raising operations Perote, Mexico, in the state of Vera Cruz, where the outbreak originated.

I get a batch of Vicks “First Defence” whenever I am in England.
Micro-gel nasal spray. It supposedly traps microbes in your sinuses. I use it whenever I feel a headache coming on or before I board a plane. It seems to work for me.

More than ever, America’s atheists are linking up and speaking out

snip

They are connecting on the Internet, holding meet-ups in bars, advertising on billboards and buses, volunteering at food pantries and picking up roadside trash, earning atheist groups recognition on adopt-a-highway signs.

They liken their strategy to that of the gay-rights movement, which lifted off when closeted members of a scorned minority decided to go public.

Polls show that the ranks of atheists are growing. The American Religious Identification Survey, a major study released last month, found that those who claimed “no religion” were the only demographic group that grew in all 50 states in the last 18 years.

The local news says the only cases of swine flu in NYC are confined to one Catholic high school, in Queens, though more cases ( all associated with that school) are being reported.

Writing in a column in the Wall Street Journal in February, Rove attacked Democrats for what he dubbed as reckless spending — stimulus money being doled out to industries “that added jobs last year.”

Among them? Education and healthcare.

What nefarious programs were Democrats trying to insert? Among other things, Rove cited $900 million for “pandemic flu preparations.”\

Aw! These guys just don’t get a break. Jindall mocks volcano monitoring and one in his rival’s state starts erupting, Rove mocks flu preparedness and the swine get him. There may be something to this karma stuff.
