Finally, some good news for the unemployed. You’re not as likely to catch swine flu

If you’re unemployed, you should visit Unemploymentality. As perhaps the funniest blog out there dedicated to the unemployed life, it will undoubtedly make you feel better.

The blog, in fact, features a post today that features actual good news for the unemployed: You’re less likely to catch swine flu. Although, personally, this possible pandemic has at least given all our excitable TV news personalities something to panic over. It’s also given Fox News something else to blame on Pres. Obama. I don’t know how exactly they’ve done it, but the geniuses at Fox have decided that the United States is now at greater risk because Obama still hasn’t filled some key health and human services positions.

So, a few more bureaucrats is all the United States needs to stop the swine flu from infiltrating our borders?

Anyway, back to Unemploymentality’s take on the swine flu. The blog proudly boasts that unemployed people are less likely to fall victim to the flu because they don’t spend as much time on crowded trains, they don’t attend useless business meetings where they have to shake hands with co-workers or (even worse!) strangers and they rarely leave the house.

Yes, the post is tongue in cheek. But at least it’s something to laugh at. And we can all use that, right?
