Other thoughts of the day

One of m'learned friends writes...

A federal plan for an avian flu pandemic?!

A plan for something that might possibly happen, such as Nouvelle-Orléans suffering a catastrophic flood, or widespread outbreaks of foot-and-mouth or bovine-spongiform-encephalopothy? At least your primi inter pares are capable of coming up with a contingency plan. As opposed to the UK's government, for whom planning a party in a brewery is too complex, and don't even think about their approach to their secretaries.

someone tell me this is just another attempt at fear and distraction? please? is he about to blow some shit up and is just afraid we might notice?

Of course this is another attempt at fear, distraction, and general sleight-of-hand. I'm not entirely sure what the junta is trying to cover up this time - the complete collapse of Iraq, another ratcheting-up of tension in Iran - for the imminent toppling of the friendly regime in London is rather occupying minds here.

As for how one can not have a crush on god-des: see icon.

Not sure about this: Pheasant has farmer on run.
