President Cristina Fernandez of Argentina likes a little swine for getting in the mood.
The story goes that the president of Argentina, President Cristina Fernandez, said, "I've just been told something I didn't know; that eating pork improves your sex life ... I'd say it's a lot nicer to eat a bit of grilled pork than take Viagra." Senora Presidente was giving a speech to some pig farmers' association and used her sex life to bolster their spirits.

Let's stop the social kissing habit," Khalifeh said during a news conference yesterday.
Cleanliness and common sense should help combat the virus.
The Health Minister of Lebanon, echoing sentiments from the CDC, has advised that his citizens stop the traditional "hello" kiss. The Swine Flu passes via human contact, primarily the nose and mouth, and it would be best to avoid contact with infected individuals, primarily by their noses and mouths.
