Last week I left a comment at ClusterStock:
The story was out Sunday night. We decided to pass.Because their story "Is A Smithfield Farm Ground Zero For Swine Flu? (SFD)" seemed to conflate the H1N1 with the filth of a hog operation. Making the same leap as, for example, "Profiteers helped to cause swine flu threat" from Socialist Worker Online.
The frission of scurrilous rumor-mongering is so hard to resist that I had to look at a picture of a hog while replaying a snip of Chris Mathews saying "...My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don’t have that too often."
Nice touch with the question mark in the headline.
Now if only I had had the sense to make the contrarian play. Oh well, according to the epidemiologist poobahs we'll get another, better, chance this fall.
(Sorry Henry but when am I ever again going to have the chance to juxtapose ClusterStock and SWO?)
