WHO: Bird Flu Not Transmitted from Person to Person

The WHO now says that the two sisters in Vietnam who supposedly caught the virus from their brother did not, that they got it from chickens. They also say that the report that pigs in Vietnam have been discovered to be carrying the virus is overblown. They better be right; supposedly pigs are “a perfect vessel for the avian and human forms of the virus to mix and swap genes.”

Wow, heretical

Lawmaker: Don’t focus on race

Congressman Artur Davis says:

“We will never prosper and we will never deserve to prosper as long as we keep focusing on four simple letters, R-A-C-E, and one concept called race.”

Earl Hilliard’s head just exploded.

Davis is working on improving conditions in western Alabama and eastern Mississippi, the southern portions of which are among the most impoverished areas of the country. The general thrust is — in my interpretation — that the people there need to work together to pull themselves up rather than concentrate on keeping the other guy down.
