Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius won Senate confirmation Tuesday as the nation's health and human services secretary, thrusting her into the middle of a public health emergency with the swine flu sickening dozens of Americans.

The 65-31 confirmation vote came after Democrats urged quick action so that Sebelius could get to work leading the federal response to the flu outbreak.

The patriotic thing to do is eat MOAR BACON!!!

Besides, as people panic, the price of pork products will drop. You can eat bacon with every meal . . . and then die.

And, because bacon was so cheap, I'll die leaving my loved ones with more money than if I'd had to buy pre-pandemic-priced bacon.

Nobody here actually believes swine flu comes from eating pork products, do they? You're all just joking, right? Sorry for my sarcasm-meter being totally broken, but I've seen people I would have expected to understand the basics about this spouting insane nonsense recently. I mean, I think you're just being silly, but I can't quite tell.

^they're being sarcastic. You can tell just by the wording... namely the whole thing about still eating bacon.


Oh, and I'm not gonna stop eating bacon, either.

VIVA LA BACON!

(While I'm at it, I think I'll go all out and get some ribs, too.)

I really hope it is being silly. I mean, the Egyptians don't get it, but I'm pretty sure there aren't that many stupid or gullible people on here.

Pork Futures Drop

Several countries are banning the import of pork, the Egyptians ordered the slaughter of every pig in the country . . . people are ignoring reason.

People on here? We're joking. People out in the world? You decide.

Absolutely. All the positions should have been filled by the middle of February at the latest. This 100 days of Republican spite has been sickening.
