Swine Flu Coming Back For Seconds This Winter

• A presidential panel estimates that as many as 90,000 people in the US could be killed by the (mild and relatively harmless, they hope!) swine flu this winter. [ Washington Post ]

• The reality TV guy who may have killed his ex-wife before killing himself was "corrupted by fame," alleges his grieving father, which is a nice sentiment but had anybody outside of a small sliver of VH1 viewers even heard of this man before his ex-wife's body turned up in a suitcase? [ Telegraph ]

• Perpetual staker-out-of-presidential-vacation-spots Cindy Sheehan has decamped for Martha's Vineyard, which should be approx. 1,000 times nicer to stay at than crappy old Crawford. [ Christian Science Monitor ]

• Maybe the drag queen and sometime politician Rudy Giuliani will run for governor of New York. [ New York Times ]

• The GOP goes hard after seniors in its efforts to quash health care reform. [ Wall Street Journal ]

• Maybe all the backing and forthing over healthcare is moot anyhow, if President Obama's ambitious plans for change are stymied by a lack of any realistic ability to pay for these things. [ Reuters ]
