					<description>W.Post Article reads

"A strain of avian influenza called H5N1 has led to the death of more than 140 million birds in Asia. It has infected 116 people, of whom 60 have died."

Distorted hype reporting ,  a) It is not known how many birds died from H5NI - wild or domesticated, b) in the last 3 years millions of domesticated birds were isolated and millions were killed by Government teams in a effort to isolate possible spread of infection. c) In the last 3 years a number of people have been correctly diagnosed as having been infected by H5NI - this number is not known, further many others may have been infected with this virus and recovered without any medical intervention or knowledge.  d)The accurate number of people who have died is 57 - over 3 years.
Malaria continues to kill millions - tuberculosis (a disease similar to birdflu in it's terminal stages) also kills people - over 57 per hour, every hour.
CALL OUT THE TROOPS!  
The idea that one could quarantine parts of a country with military troops to contain an outbreak can only come from a brain that has  not fully developed.</description>

					<description>Sorry kids but this is a major non-issue. If
Air America wastes one more breath on this nomination, I am going to start listening to NPR!

(And that amounts to self-torture!)

Are they checking the direction of the wind before picking a topic over there?

Snooze. Thanks for helping with my nap.

The libs are so confused they can't tell what
is newsworthy. 

BTW, if its a slow newsday get creative and get your own bag. 

No amount of boredom will ever get me to like that DailyKrap blog. Man that sucks.

And I ain't waiting for 'Atrios Thursday' neither.</description>
