Here's an original viral strain for youz:

The real question for you two is this: Who makes a better apple pie?

Gotta go to court now. The Man claims that I sped. In my Outback. Which you'd think would be a non-starter on its face.

wheredja git them fancy PO-litical caricatures, Art Boi?

...ly.

I climb hard...

I'm a climber, so I know plenty.

That sounded purty smart.

Poliovirus and smallpox infect only humans and have no intermediate hosts, as is not the case with the flu that cross-infects birds, horses, pigs and humans as of today and then who knows. If there are no new victims to infect, viruses like polio and smallpox cannot longer survive in the environment because they are not capable of adapting to a different host. When coupled with their almost non-existing mutation potential, mass vaccination and containment were the major driving force in providing us with the life long immunity and complete eradication of the smallpox (nearly there for the polio). That is not going to happen with the Influenzavirus. Being an RNA virus, it has high mutation rate and can infect the same host over and over again because the specific antibodies produced following flu infection or vaccination ONLY prevent subsequent infection of the original non-mutated virus - one reason why flu vaccines sometimes fail. Second, RNA genome of the flu virus often recombinates with other flue types or even those from other species resulting in hybrid viruses. Again, the new flu strains appear before the adaptive immune response is formed and/or vaccines are made. FYI: The RNA retrovirus HIV (causes AIDS) has the highest mutation rates ever AND goes into the latent phase by hiding out in the resting T lymphocytes thereby completely failing an HIV vaccine as yet. Which also explains why mutts make the best dogs.

With Patty Murray, we had the Mom in Tennis Shoes. Enter the Incubator in a Snuggy.

the bums out or...er...at least a new bum in.

and send the God-slobberers to Hell, South Park style.

Right now, sucka. Last chance.

Gotta have it postmarked today. Get in on the battle against the brain-eaten Zombie Horde. They're fun to kill.

Vaccines are for pussies. Tough it out.

Scandinavia legalized gay marriage; look at that sad country now.

Yeah, I just made that up. If ya can't beat 'em.... ....but, of course, we can beat 'em.

...will mark the death of marriage, family,and virtually everything we hold dear as Americans. Kiss your precious little ones goodbye. The Gay Horde is at the gate.

That he survived three heart attacks is proof that a) there is no God or b) we should all be worshiping the other guy with the pitchfork

Cell phones in the back country would be more useful if you could employ them to call in a defoliant air strike.

Your, um, 'disappointing' attempt at conflating belief in The Divine Kitty with support of civil rights somewhat diminished the audiences interest in what your beliefs might be but hey, just for shits and grins, how let's hear 'em. How did you, will you, or would you vote on Referendum 71, and why? I voted for it. Go.

Oh, and all consumer choices are also moral choices, whether or not the consumer admits it to themselves.

Um...YES...preferably modeled by and consumed by the right hawtness.

Haven't you heard? Increased sexual freedom only thickens our chains.

Here's your first mistake. I'm thinking he gets that a lot.
