Sunday, October 09, 2005 Avian Flu in E. Europe & Bush is Clueless... AGAIN If this doesn't make you shit kittens, I don't know what will. Avian flu has hit birds in Romania and in Turkey. And what was Bush blathering about to help "take care" of the problem? To have our military handle the rounding of of masses to be quarantined (ever seen the movie "Outbreak"?... yeh... the military rounding us up is SO reassuring) and to deal with people who try to cross state lines. My hubby crosses the state line EVERY single day for his job. What would Bush allow them to do? Blow my hubby away as he tries to merely make a living? Read Captain Clueless's page devoted to the Avian flu, courtesy of Dept of Health and Human Services... it hasn't been updated since August 2004... yeh... THAT is SO reassuring, too. Good to see Bush is up to date and on top of things and good to see that the NY Times is not buying into Bush's plan on the Avian flu, either. Maybe they aren't keen on the idea of using the military and maybe the Katrina debacle has soured them to having any faith in Captain Clueless. Read this PDF about Homeland Security's big plans... sigh... we are so fucked. |
