flu in window

a few weeks ago levophobes were dismissing talk about avian flu as some sort of liberal scare tactic.

now that bush badly needs a new diversion from attention to his performance, it'll be interesting to see what he discovers: the latest "credible" evidence of a terror threat, heightened energy shortages, a real pandemic "crisis" after all, or what?

of course he can always fall back on social security "reform" or medical "savings" accounts or school "choice" or any of the blizzard of "personal responsibility" issues bushrove & co dreamed up to paralyze our minds to get our votes.

but my money's on bird flu.
