Mr. President, We need 'A-HLNL Influence Vaccines' for every Man, Woman, and Child
Have you ever noticed that when life starts to wear you down, when everything and everyone starts to irritate you and you feel you might just explode, God sends you a little pick-me-up?

That happened to me today. I've been working three jobs, non-stop, my temper has been flaring, my patience is non-existant, it's freakin' hotter than Hades, and in general, as I drive down the road, walk down the street, or read the news, I just have an overwhelming desire to kick someone, nobody in particular really, just anyone and everyone.
Anyways, this afternoon I came home from one job, changed clothes, and while I was grabbing a bite to eat, did a quick scan of the newspaper before getting ready to go to the next. It was there, in those few seconds, as I zoomed through the front page, I found it; something so incredibly moronic, I just couldn't help but crack a sinister, cynical smile.
Elba Esther Gordilla, the leader of the National Teacher's Union, a.k.a. La Maestra Mera Mera, or the Hand that Rocks Mexico cradle had ootdone herself, once again.
After admitting, yet excusing, a 75% failure rate in the exams of public school teachers, Gordillo, in a Presidential ceremony to launch the beginning of the new school year made a cry out to President Calderon stating:
Es imprescindible garantizar, y así se lo rogamos señor Presidente, girar sus instrucciones para que nuestros alumnos, los maestros, los directivos de las escuelas, la comunidad en su conjunto, sean oportunamente vacunados contra la ‘influencia A,H,L,N,L’, ante el posible rebrote que sucedería durante los meses invernales”.It is vital to ensure, and so we beg of you, Mr. President, to turn your instructions (make it happen!) so that our students, teachers, school administrators, the community as a whole, are promptly vaccinated against 'Influence A,H, L, N, L ', before the possible outbreak that will occur during the winter months.
-Elba Esther Gordillo
After reading this, I of course had to find the video. After the video, my first thoughts were:
WTF? Are we going to get hit with yet another killer virus outbreak? Will Influence A-HLNL cripple our economy even further? Just kidding.
I was actually wondering if INFLUENCE is now a virus, is it okay for me to tell my kids I don't want them hanging out with Fulano because I feel he may be a bad INFLUENZA on them?
The last thoughts that came to my mind were: Geez, was it really necessary to have live cameras on this woman during this? Did we really have to present her as the leader of the National Teacher's Union? Is it still too late to use this video footage as a public service announcement on why you should not use drugs and why parents in Mexico should consider private schools for their children?
And lastly, the biggest question I have, is for the President, Mr. Calderon: Is it possible to trade the A/H1N1 vaccines we currently have on order for vaccines that will protect us and our children from the virus which seems to have left Ms. Gordillo terminally stupid? Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be struck with the pig flu, but I have to admit, if I had to choose between the PIG INFLUENCE and TERMINAL IGNORANCE, I'd choose, without a seconds thought, the pig.
Remember kids: Stay in School, Don't do Drugs, Listen to your parents, and for God's sake, stay away from kids who might be a bad INFLUENZA on you.
