USDA says Minn. pigs have tested positive for swine flu

Three pigs exhibited at the Minnesota State Fair this summer tested positive for the H1N1 virus, a preliminary result Friday  confirmed and marked the first time the worrisome virus has been found in U.S. animals.

Still, the results spark a new worry — that the virus could mutate into a more deadly form as it moves between species. Because the tests were confidential, not even the farmers have been notified which animals were infected.That sounds like a plan and a good way to contain the outbreak.

State officials suspect the pigs caught the virus from fairgoers.

Red’s Pledge

There really isn’t much more I can add to the video below. This Red Skelton video, courtesy of a friend, has hit the nail on the head and would you believe, way back when in January of 1969, another time our great Country was in such disarray. Red showed he was a visionary as we now face the sad reality, of the move towards Socialism/Marxism, that this Pledge may be removed from our schools due to those two words ‘under God’. Let’s take a trip back in time.

Congress is a Bunch of Slimebuckets – Fooling Public on Obamacare

 

 “There is no other word that is appropriate – Congress is full of slimebuckets.

 

In order to preserve the fiction that Obamacare is deficit neutral, Congress has split Obamacare into two bills.

One bill is the one that passed the Senate Finance Committee last week. The second is S.1776, deceitfully named the Medicare Physician Fairness Act of 2009″
