and when a national news guy sneezes into his hands, she manipultates (through her words and outraged facial expressions) his elbow too.

so the term ’secretary of sneezing’ came to mind this morning and as i ponder it more, i find myself looking for a more sleek, modern term.

secre-sneeze.  sneezatary.  secre…secre…secre-chooo.

kansas powerfrau (this isn’t negative, just german), former governor, pilates phenom and now sneezemander-in-chief.

anyway, let’s hope her efforts pay off. how can you not get nervous when you hear stories like the one we had this morning on kansas city’s morning news (weekday mornings 5-9 on newsradio 980 kmbz — tell a friend) — a 24 year old independence woman with the swine flu, died.  24 years old.  24!

scary stuff.  and if it breaks out like they say it might, it’ll be nothing to sneeze at.
