Coincidence??

Swine Flu

Two More Victims in NY

Two more people have died in NY due to the swine flu bringing the city's number of victim to four.

***************************************************************************************

Symptoms of the swine flu include:
- fever
- cough
- runny nose or stuffy nose
- sore throat
- body aches
- headache
- chills
- fatigue or tiredness
- diarrhea and vomiting

Wow, sounds a lot like the regular flu, which also kills a lot of people every year. So, what's the big fuzz with the swine flu, oh yeah, it started in Mexico. Having said that, I can include the differentiating symptom of the swine flu, mass discrimination against Mexicans.

Originality At Its Best

Fox Network's Mental

Last Tuesday, May 26th, 2009, Fox Network released the pilot episode of their new show called "Mental". According to the description on the Fox Network website, the show follows "Dr. Jack Gallagher, a radically unorthodox psychiatrist who becomes Director of Mental Health Services at a Los Angeles hospital where he takes on patients battling unknown, misunderstood and often misdiagnosed psychiatric conditions. Gallagher delves inside their minds to gain a true understanding of who his patients are, allowing him to uncover what might be the key to their long-term recovery".

I don't know about you, but I feel like I've already watched five seasons of that show, and the main character walked with a cane.
