We don't know what's happening, so we can't prepare..

Or at least that's the way I read this GW quote:

"Because a pandemic can strike at any time, we can't waste time in preparing."

But then he goes on to say that he is gonna spend 7 billion on it anyway, even though we can't prepare......

Typical Republican response:

"Something the fuck is happening somewhere ... Throw money at it and maybe it'll go away."

It has been the typical Democrat response as well. No one can sling money like a politician.

Much better to hate them all instead of picking a side. Makes it easier to have something to complain about.

I half expected him to start an "all bird" eradication program.
Keeping in step with all of his other policies, Birds are the devil, birds are evil, birds are plotting against us, birds are threatining the security of the US. Birds are the Anti-Christ. We must take the war to them, hunt them down and cut the heads off of them.

Other news, we are outsourcing as much of the work out of the US as fast as we can, Reworking the tax policies to eliminate the last of your deductions (we need the money to fund "The Wars" war on birds included), Nominating friend of the week for Supreme Court Justice, and God told me to lie to the world community about WMDs so we could go ona fruitless crusade.

More to come after commercial break - stay tuned

** ATTENTION **

Reliable Intelligence reports divulged that the Senates "Secret Session" yesterday WAS NOT discussing matters concerning Tom Delay but it was a heated discussion about the Al Quada backed Asian Flu pandemic. The latest Intel reports G.W.Bush's men in the field have discovered the new threat of suicide chickens. These rogue suicide chickens (Militant chickens responsible for the failed Tyson take over, resulting in a bloody hostage situation at Tyson Foods - 3 pecking deaths) are infected with the avian flu, and they are wearing tiny vests made of high explosives. Their directive is to infiltrate highly populated segments of the US and then detonate themselves effectively spreading the avian flu. These "Dirty Chicken" bombs can easily be identified as they have 1 thick continuous eyebrow, and wearing tiny vests. Frequently seen wandering about the Kentucky Fried Chicken fast food outlet parking lots in urban areas. DO NOT approach the suspect chickens, call your local police.

Back to your normal programming.

You people drive me crazy.

Try reading it this way:

"Because a pandemic can strike at any time, we can't waste ANY time in preparing."

I tried that, unfortunately what you typed is not what the head cheese said, of course I can not remember him saying anything that he has meant since he has been in office.

Oh, I know it isn't what headcheese said, but I read what the CDC and assorted agencies had to say...and I'm the eternal optimist.

We used to have these gorgeous Rhode Island Reds, see...and a parakeet. Now we don't. Want to take a guess as to why? Oh, sure, it was just "rumors" that it was bird flu going around...but the birds were just as dead.

With an aging population and a freak flu possibility, there could be shortly a whole lot of extra places to park.
