    “Record Care sticker”…
    If this record were to meet today’s “safety” standards…
    1) That sticker would to be in at least fourteen different languages.
    2) The children would be monitored by a certified security officer.
    3) Everyone would have to wear safety gear to protect themselves from getting hurt (skinned knee, elbow etc.)
    4) The dog would have to be leashed.
    5) The CAT would have to be FIXED!
    6) …and because that squirrel bit someone, the parents file a class action law suit against the city, using the same shyster lawyer that put the stupid sticker on this record in the FIRST PLACE!!!

    Doesn’t look like Obama’s foretold ‘Swine Flu Epidemic’ is in… PLAY here, eh?

    Rather than be snipey, I’ll just say I like the cover.

    #2 – If you’re going to bring politics into this arena, at least get your facts straight. Swine Flu came about well before Obama became president, so saying he somehow “foretold” it & connecting him to it is just plain ignorant. Take your sour-grapes hating to some rightwing blog…

    nah, the sticker would have computer generated translations like “record not be used beyond term of useful usage”

    Let’s set the record straight!
    FYI… Initial cases of the H1N1 “Swine Flu Virus” were reported in the USA and Mexico, on May 2, 2009.
    BTW… According to experts, it was to reach pandemic proportions in the U.S. by fall 2009. Thank God they were wrong!
    Mr. Baron was just being funny… that’s all.
    IMO… if it were Bush instead, would you still react the same… anyone?
    Come on… We are all brothers (and sisters) that share a common love.
    In the words of the infamous Rodney King… “Can’t we all just get along?”

    Didn’t mean to offend paison Don ‘Guido’ Norvello but as for WINGS – right or left – I need them both to FLY for that is the beauty of … flight! How about a FLIGHT theme in the near future? You have the best blog in the biz and proud that OUR first amendment right is alive and well here.
    Just heard SNOOPY vs. the RED BARON by the… Royal Guardsmen on the Laurie Label from 1967 I think? Merry Christmas and Froheliche Weihnachten alles!!
