"Scare the Crap Out of Humanity" Headline of the Day

Well, I guess mankind had a good run...

Homeland Security to Be Lead in Flu Crisis

WASHINGTON - If the nightmare of an avian flu pandemic emerges from the dark chapters of doomsday scenarios, it will fall to the Department of the Homeland Security, not the medical establishment, to manage the crisis, according to federal documents and interviews with government officials.

Full story.

Thanks to Chuck for the heads-up.

After that bit of news, "drink at work" is no longer sufficient by itself. Adding "drink for breakfast," "drink in the car," and "drink in bed." Also considering "brush teeth with gin" and "start smoking three packs a day again."

Good night everybody!

Based on the availability of flu vaccines for the last two years, I had assumed they were already in charge.

Anyone aside from me thinking of Stephen King's The Stand here?

At least the government collapses in The Stand, so it had a happy ending... betcha in real life they get to be the last ones standing.

I AM, I AM, ooo ooo, The Stand, yes. Now we have a real super-flu on our hands. Well, survivors better get ready to cross the Lincoln Tunnel in the dark over dead bodies. Maybe I'll meet a real live Stu Redman of my own, that is of course if I survive. Time to change my diet. Love, Da Bug
