So I'm tuning in to Hannity for a laugh... And guess who HE blames for all the media hype over the swine flu.

No really, take a guess. Hint: It's a black guy.

I got myself a mask and wrote "Swine Flu" across it as a joke.

even if it isn't funny to anyone but me.

I still don't know who said it was a grave threat to humanity and I'm more inclined to believe it's another lie in the news cycle then anything else.

Washing your hands may keep germs away but you need some bad germs in order to build immunity. If we get too clean then we are only going to become more suceptible to new viruses.

Yup, babies being born so close to the anal opening actually exposes them to intestinal bacteria from mother's rear and these make a living in the baby's own intestines. Babies delivered by C-section are actually at higher risk of food allergies.

Exposure to bacteria and viruses are crucial for developing a good immune system against them .. Kids growing up at farms have very little allergy, believed to be a result of their exposure to manure, animals etc. It makes me cringe a bit when I see stuff like this :
