When We're All Dead...
When we're all dead , you can say "JK, you were wrong!"
I am going to swim against the blogosphere tide a little here and admit that I am sleeping pretty well at night, in spite of the UPCOMING AVIAN BIRD FLU PANDEMIC!!! (Film at 11, with Natallee Holloway Pictures!!). Blogs have worked themselves into an irrational fear on this front (Oh. My. God! We're the only ones who know what's going on! The people watching MSM don't know. We're all going to die!)
President Coolidge famously said that if ten problems are roiling down the road at you, keep in mind that nine will roll into the ditch. I have no empirical evidence for my sanguinity, but I am counting on this to be one of the nine.
I have already survived the HETEROSEXUAL AIDS PANDEMIC of the 80s/90s, THE SARS PANDEMIC of the 90s/aughts, and it ain't easy in Colorado but I seem to have avoided the WEST NILE VIRUS PANDEMIC that is ongoing around here.
I was on the Atkins Diet through all the MAD COW DISEASE SCARES and I seem to have come through that.
When THE NATION RAN OUT OF FLU VACCINE in 2004, I neither got the flu nor voted for John Kerry.
I have Multiple Sclerosis. My wife had a severe stroke. I'm glad Andrew Sullivan has some flu medication squirreled away, so he will be spared incompetence from that nasty President Bush, but I am gonna tough this one out.
Like I say, if we all die, you can say “I told you so…”
