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.

Silence means security silence means approval
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]-
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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Here's something to cheer you up, Allyson:
Half a dozen Mexico City prostitutes have been arrested for using eye drops containing a sleep-inducing drug to knock out and rob their clients, leaving at least five men dead, a newspaper said on Monday.
...
One 39-year-old man who survived his ordeal and woke up giddy and missing his wallet, said he was careful not to let his drink out of his sight -- but unwittingly ingested the drug after the sex worker secretly applied it to her nipples.
Also, you're not sitting next to the same person I'm sitting next to. Trust me -- this should lift your mood with giddy gratitude.

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