Say What?!!!

I was driving to work this morning, and there was a short news piece about the World Health Organization. I've never thought much of the WHO, but this took my opinion to new lows. It seems they've come under fire for the H1-N1 joke. People are claiming the WHO overhyped the situation to benefit pharmaceutical companies.

The WHO response?

We always characterized the virus as mild, but would have been negligent not to label it a pandemic.

How the hell do you have a MILD PANDEMIC?!!!!

Tough blow to the Libs

To me the only surprise in Scott Browns Massachussets victory is that the liberals were so surprised. Are they ostriches? Has their collective head been buried in the sand for the last year? Tea parties, conservative authors spending much time at or near the top of best seller lists, much noise and thunder in the form of polls saying Americans overall do not want the government running their healthcare, people like me writing congressmen, senators and President Obama with our concerns. Of that list, the only one I never even got a form letter response from was the President.

How many signs do they need to convince them that they are elected by the people, not by the intelligentsia, academia, or the fringe of either party?
