We, as a nation, seem to be losing our collective minds over swine flu … and it’s driving me batty. A politician never lets a good crisis go to waste, and pigfluenza (H1N1) is no exception.
Pigfluenza is the new terrorism. I expect us to be waterboarding swine in tasty sauces. I like honey glazed artificial panics, thank you very much.

So this is yet another example how I mess with my wife’s mind …
We’re lying in bed with the lights off and the windows open, since it’s a beautiful spring night. A lightning bug, which got into the house last night and has been taunting the cats, is flying around the bedroom.
“Oh no,” I say, “I hope it doesn’t try to mate with the alarm clock.”
I can hear the “whut” look on her face in the darkness.
“This is why lightning bugs can’t buy LED flashlights in Alabama … they’re considered sex toys.”
She spends the next five minutes giggling, further delaying our sleep. The cats still haven’t caught that darn bug.
There’s a lot of tea going around today … people with their mini “tea party” protests. It’s good that people are getting tired of the way government continues to grow, slowly weaving its way into parts of their lives that it probably shouldn’t be in. I just hope today’s public demonstrations actually get people thinking about how to really fix government.
PROTIP: If you’re going to try and take someone’s money via a postal solicitation, try to make sure the proposal doesn’t look like a joke. Exhibit A: Cambridge Who’s Who.
