Gee, Dan…something made me really laugh about this, and I don’t mean to lessen the global impact of such a pandemic, or the effects it “could” have on people (and the economies) of most all nations…BUT, conside the following:

With all the stimulus bill PORK abounding in the last (near) 100 days, what ELSE could we expect but SWINE FLU…

Somehow the word “IRONY” comes to mind.

Oh Dan,

You would be furious even if he voted the other way! But so politics goes…

GOP Wields More Influence Over the Stimulus Bill – The Wall Street Journal

“…After meeting with Mr. Obama, Sen. Collins (R-ME) expressed concern about a number of spending provisions, including $780 million for pandemic-flu preparedness. “I have no doubt that the president is willing to negotiate in good faith, that he wants to have a bipartisan bill,” Sen. Collins said.”
