A Bird Mumps Pandemic?
Big News
Governor Mitt Romney on Wednesday signed into law a landmark bill designed to guarantee virtually all Massachusetts residents have health insurance. Unfortunately, a last-minute rider provides for a wall around the state to keep immigrants out.
- Darn! And I already traded my Celebrex for a bus ticket to Worcester.
Health officials said Wednesday two infected airline passengers may have helped spread Iowa's mumps epidemic to six other Midwestern states. Thank goodness. I was afraid it was the dreaded Bird Mumps.
- Or even worse, Mad Cow Mumps.
Fun April 13 History
Thomas Jefferson was born on April 13 in 1743. Jefferson invented the swivel chair, the folding bed, and Chicken-a-la-King. He introduced the waffle to America, wrote the Declaration of Independence, and played the fiddle. He also was president of the U.S., but nobody's perfect.
The Great Chicago Flood started on April 13 in 1992 -- when Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked a hole in the Chicago River.
The first elephant arrived in America on April 13 in 1796. They waited until spring to bring him so he wouldn't catch a bad cold. There's nothing worse than an elephant with a runny trunk.
Former Texas Governor Bill Clements was born on April 13 in 1917. Clements is the only candidate who blazed the campaign trail with a rubber chicken as a mascot. It wouldn't work anywhere else, but in Texas it got him elected twice.
