So still more than your chance of dying from the kung flu.

We should be so lucky.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Meh, it's a little one.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

If the diameter does not start with a 4, we are not interested.

The Tube of You this morn recommended a volcano video for me.   The Youtube blurb is:

Quote
In case 2020 hasn't provided you with enough evidence that all human civilization could definitely be wiped out by one calamitous event, then here's a profile on a known supervolcano in Sumatra that has already annihilated the Earth as we know it once in human history.

As if "the China flu", with a death rate that's a bare statistical blip, is to be compared in any way at all to a supervolcano eruption that might have caused a human genetic bottleneck by dropping the human population at the time to a few thousands.

I guess a lot of people don't have enough drama in their lives, and have to gin it up.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

And of course there was the 7.5 magnitude earthquake in Alaska Monday afternoon.

Apparently the Tsunami never happened, though.
