Swine Flu Hype

So apparently there is this thing called swine flu. Our nine year old neighbor had it (caught it from his grandparents, who brought it back on a flight from China), and recovered just fine, and none of the other kids he played with got it. Anyway, apparently there are several blogs about it, including several who see a conspiracy afoot:

An amazing mattress commercial (didn't think I'd ever say that) depicting home birth:

Of course it's from Spain, they'd never allow that here.
