Taking bets on last state w/ confirmed case of Swine flu.

Post by oneeyeddick » Thu Apr 30, 2009 12:21 am

I will take bets on which state in the contenental U.S.A. will be the last to get it.

The winner gets ONE FULL POUND of bacon, cooked crispy and delivered piping warm to thier camp on playa.

I pick Montana, and yes I get to pick because I am making up the rules as I go.

Pinemom's got it. That potent mix of cold weather and a governor who's not afraid to close the borders will win out.

I don't know, though, since, there are a lot of immigrants, illegal and otherwise, there, especially in the summer tourist season......

thanks for voting for idaho, but we get way to much traffic through the interstate (although it pretty much is just ONE interstate in each direction, would be VERY easy to segregate the state)

I would vote for Alaska, but PM got that...

So I will say Montana

In the lower 48, I'd say North Dakota will be last. That's just my pick, after looking at the map and noting where confirmed cases have occurred so far.

Here's an unofficial map: http://swineflu.ushahidi.com/

Here's the official tally so far:

The Swine flu is a media frenzy created by the three little pigs so that people eat more chicken.

Or by the Obama administration so that they could get the Health Secretary confirmed quickly and easily because of the hysteria.....Hmmm did anyone outside of Kansas hear about this confirmation? ALL HAIL Kathleen Sebilus --- Bring on the Genocide!
