Last time I checked, America=cases of swine flu. Africa!=cases of swine flu. Seems like it’s safer here, at the moment. Mandita! Come here if you can’t go to Mexico!

1) I find it hilarious that I know people whose parents want them to get back home because of swine flu. Last time I checked, America=cases of swine flu. Africa!=cases of swine flu. Seems like it’s safer here, at the moment. Mandita! Come here if you can’t go to Mexico!

PCOL's Candidate for Peace Corps Director Date: December 2 2008 No: 1288 PCOL's Candidate for Peace Corps Director
Honduras RPCV Jon Carson, 33, presided over thousands of workers as national field director for the Obama campaign and said the biggest challenge -- and surprise -- was the volume of volunteer help, including more than 15,000 "super volunteers," who were a big part of what made Obama's campaign so successful. PCOL endorses Jon Carson as the man who can revitalize the Peace Corps, bring it into the internet age, and meet Obama's goal of doubling the size of the Peace Corps by 2011.
