The illustration Friday subject this week is parade, but in the spirit of what the media has turned into an over-inflated menace. I bring you swine flu parade! I have been in awe of how this problem has progressed over the last few weeks. It went from one case here and there to two cases here and there and all of a sudden its like an overwhelming three or four cases here and there. Run for the hills, wear gas masks and don’t leave your house…. Swine flu! Swine flu! All is lost………! Really?

Could this simply be a case of, “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain?” I mean nothing distracts the populace more then a vicious outbreak of the FLU! I mean SWINE flu! Could this strategic smoke screen make people forget about the other giant purple rhino in the room? Recession!

I think so…. what do you think?
