We already know that Black people have been standing up for us for years, now, it’s a white guy’s turn.

Yes, as the right wing crazies decide to blame every virus from the beginning of time on Mexican immigrants, who comes out to denounce it?

If you guessed an organization with “Mexican”, “La Raza”, “Hispanic”, “Latino” or “Immigrant” in its name you have a fever and may be a carrier of the end of the world is near swine flu virus yourself.

Because once again, the flojo caucus, is busy with other way more important stuff.

(BTW, other than our own conspiracy theory of how this whole thing started, this is my favorite one)

So this could fall into the category of most ridiculous press releases ever:

Press Release: LULAC National President Rosa Rosales Statement On Swine Flu.

April 27, 2009

Washington, DC – The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the nation’s largest and oldest Hispanic civil rights organization in the country, National President Rosa Rosales today issued a statement in response to recent human infections with a newly discovered type A (Swine flu) virus:

“The government is taking the appropriate steps to be proactive in responding to this new influenza and to be prepared in case of a pandemic. Declaring a public health emergency allows us to free up federal, state and local agencies and their resources for prevention and mitigation.

It allows us to use medication and diagnostic tests that we might not otherwise be able to use, particularly on young children. It also releases funds for the acquisition of additional antivirals.

There are known cases in the United States and the virus is spreading globally. Individuals are urged to stay home if they are sick and to contact their doctors.”

What You Can Do to Stay Healthy

There are everyday actions people can take to reduce chances of contacting the virus.

*Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. Dispose of the tissue after use.

*Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.

*Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.

*Avoid close contact with sick people.

*Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.

*If you get sick, the Center for Disease Control recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.

Our official blog advice to stay healthy: Avoid close contact with Rosa Rosales’ hat!

So we all know that the CIA tried to kill Castro with cigars, beard ointments, Gloria Estefan music and yes that Bay of Swine Pigs invasion.

Now that Fidel has become a decrepit dictator columnist, the CIA has focused its Latin American operations on our next favorite head of state, Fidel wannabe, Hugo Chávez.

And since Obama outlawed all that waterboarding, the CIA had to come up with something else.

The plot is SO COMPLICATED, it may actually seem unreal and totally made up by a blogger who is pretending to work.

But the facts are undeniable:

• On the evening of April 16, Barack Obama had a super fancy dinner at Mexico City’s Museo Nacional de Antropología, (where BTW there is currently and exhibit about ex-axis of evil location Iran).
• That night, also present was museum curator Felipe Solís Olguín, who presumably showed Obama around, shared an unprotected handshake,  explained the history of Monctezuma’s revenge and gave him some souvenirs from the Teotihuacán Wal-Mart.
• Then a few days later almost immediately, Solís, who as far as we know is not related to ex-coconut Hilda Solís, was found dead, of flu-like symptoms (in this case diabetes and cardiac arrest).
• That same night, Obama flew to Trinidad and Tobago,  to meet his book club buddy, Hugo Chávez.
• Then, they had an unprotected handshake and exchanged a book about veins.
• Within a few hours Chávez also started showing symptoms of being sick.
• Later that day, fueled by rumors, people in Miami started the preparations to celebrate Castro and or Chávez’ imminent demise, as is their custom.
• Chávez himself has preemptively  denounced ad nauseam these plots against him.

We haven’t had this much fun since CNN En Español tried to kill Chávez.

AND of course, we are not the only ones spreading a version of this very suspicious sequence of events. (except for the Chavez part)
