I don't know why, but off to lunch today I started thinking about bird flu. Right—it was because of the inordinate amount of chicken I eat out, as I actually considered ordering a beef fajita burrito at Chipotle. Anyhow, this is some scary shit, and didn't I just see the Administration bring it up as the next big thing? …What do you know, related headline on Google, and without a mismatched photo! But what's most frightening, apart from the typical oblivion of the general public, this very type of outbreak at the end of the second season in Millenium heralded the apocalypse (well, insofar as the show's writers and the audience alike were led to believe it was the end of the series).
