You're Going To Die In A Fire!

An ominous theme has emerged from the wreckage of a deadly pipeline explosion in California... There are thousands of pipes just waiting to EXPLODE under YOUR house... RIGHT NOW!!! AHH! We're all going to DIE! We're going to DIE IN A FIRE!?!! OH NOOSS!!!

aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

And now, we can blame the corporations that are supposed to be maintaining these things - and they obviously haven't and have been giving all those fat profits to their share holders - the capitalist pigdogs -- now we've all got pipe BOMBS under OUR NEIGHBORHOODS! Just waiting to go off - who knows when!? WE NEED MORE GOVERNMENT TO REGULATE and INSPECT these un-funded pipe bombs... or we're going to DIE!!! AAahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!

At least the minor oil spills in Illinois and Michigan aren't getting any coverage.

It's going to tip over!

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), speaking at a House Armed Services Committee meeting, made the bewildering claim that overpopulation could cause the island of Guam “to tip over and capsize.”

A spokesperson later made this statement on Johnson’s behalf:

I wasn’t suggesting that the island of Guam would literally tip over. I was using a metaphor to say that with the addition of 8,000 Marines and their dependents – an additional 80,000 people during peak construction to the port on the tiny island with a population of 180,000 – could be a tipping point which would adversely affect the island’s fragile ecosystem and over burden its already overstressed infrastructure.

Of course. The old “tip over and capsize” metaphor. You not crazy for this one, Hank Johnson.

Carry on.

Oh, Did We Overreact?

ABC is running a story that asks...

"Overreaction? Will Swine Flu Become a Run-of-the-Mill Outbreak?"
More Schools Continue to Close, Even If They Don't Have Confirmed Cases of Flu

President Obama said today that while the United States is still preparing for the worst in the wake of the swine flu scare, the outbreak could end up falling short of a pandemic and run its course just "like ordinary flus" that pass through the country every winter.

UPDATE: The NY Times is finally running the FACTS that Blasphemes ran three DAYS ago:

"The swine flu outbreak in Mexico may be considerably smaller than originally feared, test results released there on Friday indicate.

Of 908 suspected cases that were tested, only 397 people turned out to have the virus, officially known as influenza A(H1N1), Mexican health officials reported at a news conference. Of those, 16 people have died.

Mexico had reported about 2,500 suspected cases as of Friday, but the number of real cases could turn out to be less than half the suspected number if further testing follows the same pattern as the original round. Officials said that the tests were being done quickly, and that 500 more would be completed Friday.

“Apparently the rate of infection is not as widespread as we might have thought,” he added. The materials needed for the test were provided to Mexico by the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. " (whole story here)

The MSM just really liked saying the word "Pandemic" without understanding what it meant.

Meantime, FOX is running a story about a missing white girl yesterday.
So, can we all now agree this thing is over?
