There's a hot place waiting for you, missy.

Ooo! Now that's a tattoo I would get!

ION, Bush is using the flu as an excuse to get Congress to change the law, so that he can use the military to enforce quarantines on people and regions in the United States. [link]

Considering 65 people have died of this worldwide, that's a pretty flimsy excuse.

I don't think he's planning on leaving office. I certainly don't think he has the interests of the nation at heart.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't think he's planning on leaving office. I certainly don't think he has the interests of the nation at heart.

If you think that Bush should leave office at the end of his term, you obviously hate America. And God too.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

From awhile back:

My IT guy told me yesterday that he does not have a computer at home.

A lot of people are disappointed when they ask what kind of system I have at home and find out it's not remotely high end. My explanation has always been I spend all day fixing computers. When I get home, I just want a system that works. That and I work IT for healthcare. I don't make any where near the money people expect me to. The idea of spending more than a hundred dollars on any single component makes me choke.

So Bush's response to a pandemic would be to send the armed forces in to take over and control the affected people and area. Well, if that works as well as his Iraq plan, we can expect virii shedding folk on every street corner.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I think a lot of people would agree with this. The real split is between the people who want him to leave now (if not sooner) and the people who want him to stay forever.

I think the 2008 Republican primary could be pretty interesting. I think up until recently Frist might have been the establishment frontrunner, but he's getting comprimised. Giuliani and McCain seem pretty likly to enter the ring, but I don't know if they would be favored by the Republican establishment.

If he'd just use the frikkin' PUBLIC HEALTH LAWS in this country he wouldn't need to rip out Posse Comitatus. Of course, the GOP has had a big ol' hate-on for Public Health since the days of Reagan.

Considering 65 people have died of this worldwide, that's a pretty flimsy excuse.

The kill rate on bird flu is something like 40%. It's pretty scary.

I don't think he's planning on leaving office. I certainly don't think he has the interests of the nation at heart.

Just as point of fact, I remember conservatives saying the same thing about Clinton; the really loony ones were saying right after the Cole that Clinton was going to use it to keep himself in office.

I agree with the second part, but I doubt the various Republican president wannabes will let him pull an FDR.
