His failure to take a real stand on torture and his tacit agreement with the Rovian NeoCon campaign machine that smeared him, took him so far from his best traits, I don't see how he'll ever distinguish himself again.

Wah wah! You mean the Obama's are paid up in full? Oh, you want more?!!

And don't just wipe your hands, wipe under your nails, and wipe your face!

But, now that I have a child who is less than a year old, suddenly I'm paying more attention.

You're an asshole. Shut the hell up - you're making our state look batshit crazy.

@lilbobbytables: I would SO join that in a heartbeat. @alexsim: Well, the bigger the state, the more asshats you're bound to run into :-)

Methinks we're losing sight of the big picture.

@kelsium: As if their list of stellar alumni aren't donating enough. And Lower School tuition runs at $28 1/2 K--that's not small potatoes.

37%? I'm going to remember that on the way home when someone needs to change lanes today.

it does respond to the usual flu meds so if you can get them, you'll probably be fine. if you can't, you're probably in trouble.

Naturally, I didn't get a flu shot this year.

It's possible that the seasonal flu vaccine might provide partial protection against H3N2 swine flu bugs. But the strain that appeared in California is the H1N1 swine flu strain. It is very different from the H1N1 human flu strain included in the seasonal flu vaccine.
It's not known whether previous infection with human type A H1N1 flu might provide partial protection against the type A H1N1 swine flu in the current outbreak.
However, the CDC has made a "vaccine seed" from swine flu isolated from an infected person, and has begun the process of developing a vaccine should the need arise. Whether a vaccine could be produced in quantity by next flu season is a huge question.

They are opening a new charter school in my community of 30,000 people that already has a huge (and nationally recognized for excellence) public school system, a Catholic school, an alternative community school, and a private school. It is taking nearly a million dollars out of the public school budget, AND the supporters are flooding the paper with editorials whining about how they're not getting enough community support because CLEARLY this community with two colleges does not value education.
So, NO. I do not have any sympathy for private school whining of any kind today.

WTF is he trying to defend them? It doesn't make sense.
Unless he has something to hide...

Also, I am sorry to say that I can't remember the context for the "you keep on using that word" quote, and if you don't put me out of my misery, I may go crazy. Remind me, plz!

McCain pretty much shut down all of the MIA/POW investigations in Viet Nam, singlehandedly, something never mentioned during his campaign. I'd bet on him having something to hide.

"Here" being somewhere in the vicinity of the international space station. On behalf of the state, I say ARGH@#$^#@*@#&$^@#*$@#STABBYSTABBYBLERGH!
No second senator until June at least, but hey, who needs full representation, anyway? Now where did I put my pitchfork and torch?

The bottom line, I think, is that this is potentially bad, but it's not huge yet, and our tendency as a society to panic is making it seem worse than it is at this point. So deep breathes and tea for now! As Megan pointed out, there are much, much bigger illnesses on the American plate right now.

The Spanish flu in 1918 came after a significant world wide event. WORLD WAR ONE. Entire generations and whole cities were depleted, including medical facilities and medical aid workers.

So should it really start to spread, masks and being careful not to touch your face after touching surfaces out in public are definitely a good idea. Also avoiding public gatherings, if possible.
