Marmot Plague! Say It Ain't So!

Well I am sorry to inform you, boys and girls, but the vicious marmot of doom has again reared his ugly head in Mongolia. That cunning creature has sprung bubonic plague upon three unsuspecting Mongolians in Gobi-Sumber Aimag (yep, we went there, but missed the plague. Also barely missed anthrax in Arhangai - bovine bastards). I tried to get ahold of our illustrious President Bush - finally, the mystery is solved. Saddam gave his weapons to the wildlife of Mongolia... and they are trying to take the land back. Really. Send the troops. Mongolia is a proud member of the coalition of the willing. You can't turn your backs on us.

But really, there has been an outbreak. There is a quarantine in effect. If it hits the news, I'll post it.
