What a ****-poor attempt at a pun. I believe you meant to type
"flu". A "flue" is a fireplace vent. Dipshit.

No, Karla is actually an idiot of massive proportion. It wasn't some
attempt at a pun - his capacity for posting nonsense and moronic
blathering is readily apparent...

Oh, the rattle-snake has been let out of the Zoo again on the
Walpurgis Night to celebrate the Witches' Sabbath? Don't flatter
yourself: you are not as deadly nor as intelligent as a snake,
although you make much more rattling noise.

Being called an "idiot" by you is a badge of honour, as when you

Sorry if my coming to the US from a non-English-speaking country makes
you angry.

I was trying to put into writing an auditory pun, after reading
RTTNews. I cut-and-pasted the term "swine flue" probably from:

http://www.realtimetraders.com/Conte...e=B5&Id=928843
… recent concerns about the economic impact of the swine flue
outbreak…

They are still perpetrating this horrible crime, as evidenced in:

http://rttnews.com/Content/TopStories.aspx?Id=933026
Continental cuts capacity for Mexico amid swine flue fears - update

and many other articles.

I suggest you write an angry letter to their chief editors and
management, demanding an apology and a full investigation as to
whether one of their reporters comes from a non-English-speaking
country. If you don’t – the damage may be devastating, dragging the
entire booming world economy into some kind of a deep recession. Mark
my words.

This brings memories of the then vice-president Al Gore in a spelling
contest included the vocal e in the word potato. Therefore,
vice-presidential spelling seems to be fluE, potatoE, etc.
I just wonder what new spelling styles Mme Sarah Palin would have
brought along if she would have become vice-president.

That's probably because the plural is "potatoEs", "tomatoEs"... BTW,
what is the plural of "flu"? :-)

"Flu" is not a venerable word. It's just an abbreviation for
"inFLUenza", invented by those who can't spell "grippe". In the
beginning, there were dissenters, who abbreviated "inFLUEnza" as
"flue", but they soon lost out to the "flu" adherents, because "flu"
represented a 25% saving over "flue".

Let me try to imagine what would happen if she ever became our
President. I bet she would be viewed by the media as a female version
of a cross between Kennedy and Reagan. And she would behave
accordingly. Here are some news reports about this from 2013:

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/02/wo...dleeast/012345

Today President Palin visited Jerusalem and gave a speech to a large
crowd of Israelis in front of the Wailing Wall (or, as they spell in
Alaska, the Whaling Wall). Just like her mentor Ronald Reagan in his
famous speech at the Berlin Wall, she too turned east and proclaimed,
as if addressing the new Palestinian Prime Minister:

"Mr. Prime Minister, tear down this wall!"

Unfortunately, this time, the audience reception of this historical
speech was less than enthusiastic.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/12/world/europe/0123456

On her visit to Hamburg, Germany, President Palin proved her ability
to fill JFK's shoes by interpolating his famous "I am a Berliner!"
speech. In front of an audience of 100,000-strong, she declared: "I am
a Hamburger!" Next on her agenda: similar speeches in Frankfurt and
Wien, Austria.

I saw the interview Palin gave infront of the stuffed Grizzly, what a
totally hokey performance. I beleive she's a smart woman, but the
interview didn't help her credability at all.

He's actually fascinated because this variety
has a mixture of swine and bird (avian) and human
genetic material.
And probably gleeful in anticipation of a pandemic.

Correct me if I am wrong, Rostyk, but you have never been able to have
any children, you are not attractive to the opposite sex, recently
described to us the suffering from erectile dysfunction, you are
around 70-75 and totally alone. It is common for a man in your
predicament to have sadistic fantasies about millions of people dying
in a pandemic, but to blame your thought process on me - that's very
undignified, to say the least.

Even if I were a sadist, I would still not feel "gleeful in
anticipation of a pandemic" simply because of the high probability
that I or my 3 children could die in such a pandemic. I don't want to
die: I still have at least 30 years of productive life ahead of me.

In the future, please make an attempt not to tell the readers your own
fantasies as to what I am thinking or feeling. You don't know what I
am thinking: we live on opposite sides of the continent, never met,
and - G*d help us - never will.

And speaking of the swine flu, please try behaving like a human being.
Before posting a sadistic attack on another human being, ask yourself:
“How would I feel if I were on the receiving end of this “prank’”?

Follow the Golden Rule "Do unto others as you would have them do unto
you."

That seems to be a highly inadequate, content-free and hysterical
response and an unhealthy preoccupation with a little typo of “flue”.

BTW, you really should look up synonyms for “idiot”, cretinous
jackass.

This all reminds me of the first origins of "Rap" music. Originally
