Nothing to See Here, Subtitle: How You Like Me Now, Bitches?

What does W do when things aren't going his way? He raises the terror alert, that's what. But wait, the sheeple are catching on to that color-coding bullshit, aren't they? What could one do instead? Manifest a panic about Avian Flu, that's what. This flu virus and its potential pandemic repercussions have been known for years and yet the US had done very little to prepare for it. Now all of a sudden, the Administration has a "plan."

Thanks to MSM it's getting plenty of coverage, too. A news program this morning reported on said "plan" vis-à-vis the bird flu. The anchor was talking about how the "plan" acknowledges that there will be vaccine shortages, likely riots at clinics, and that hospitals in every big city will be so over-burdened they will have to turn people away.

It's a two-pronged attack on the citizens of the country by their leader, not the flu.

1. Create fear and panic so the sheeple won't notice those pesky and ever-growing scandals plaguing D.C. Repubs these days. Not to mention, the Miers nomination, which has his base more pissed off than the other side of the aisle. Aside: can you believe he thought that "trust me" coming from his petulant, bullying, lying, deceitful, hypocritical mouth was enough to actually make this happen?!

2. The devious, ugly, Rove-ian part of the plan; the side effect to the misdirection gambit (1). When the sheeple are afraid they love their Big Daddy W and begin to equate the accent and stupid grin with leadership ability.

My loathing and contempt are boundless.
