3. Lupus is the genus of wolves
Foxes belong to the genus Vulpes

Moreover, that comparison is an insult to both genera -- noble, honest creatures all.

6. Yes I do. A good friend suffered from it. Terrible condition.
My first impression was the comparison concerned animals; that's all.

12. I'm so sorry to hear that. How are you doing?
I know the meds have improved over the years.

I guess I'm an old fuddy-duddy, but I don't think lupus is a laughing matter. Maybe that's why I didn't get the joke.

Faux doesn't even pretend to be a news organization anymore.

8. “Fox News is such a crazy overreaction to the perceived threat of the liberal pathogen....
“Fox News is such a crazy overreaction to the perceived threat of the liberal pathogen in evidence at NBC, ABC & CBS, that it is like an autoimmune disorder. I’m not saying the virus does not exist in some small quantity, but you are producing way to many antibodies. Fox News: You’re the Lupus of News.”

:rofl:
