GENEVA — The human death toll from the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu reached 103 after five people died from the disease in Azerbaijan, the World Health Organization said Tuesday.

WHO said seven of 11 patients from Azerbaijan had tested positive for H5N1 in samples checked at a major laboratory in Britain. Five of those cases were fatal.

The sources of infection were still under investigation, but officials suspected a connection to the feathers of dead swans.

Yeah, I know, FoxNews got it from AP but since FoxNews is considered an *acceptable* source for me to use on MY blog, I figured I'd use it and keep people happy...
103 deaths world wide from *bird flu*...

Wow, given the FACT the at the time of this writing the world population is 6,499,081,513 , that's such a minuscule fraction I'm not even sure how to state it, but hey, the Bush Administration says it's coming and FOXNews.com says it's coming so what the hell, that's ALL the proof some folks need...

So, ya better start stocking up on canned goods and such as we prepare for a PANDEMIC, I put that in caps to stress the need for panic, and go buy several cases of tuna fish, I saw that recommended somewhere, but, oh yeah, they forgot to warn you of MERCURY poisoning from the tuna...

Damn, another reason to panic...

Here's an idea for all the folks that are on the verge of a *breakdown* as they worry themselves sick over *bird flu*: Don't play with bird poop and don't eat chicken tar tar...

I swiped the above from http://texas-freds-house.blogspot.com/ word for word. I happen to agree with Fred and if that upsets the 'Bush Can Do No Wrong Crowd' well that just how the cookie crumbles. I refuse to act like like a Left-Wing Moon-Bat by saying the man I voted for can do no wrong. Apparently many of the Republicans weren't really Conservatives after all and where just Democratic Lite in disguise.

I'm going to remember this in coming elections. I don't forget and I don't forgive, ever!
