1. "Fired" is not in the Shrub/Unka Dick vocabulary. (n/t)

14. I know an 84 year old lady who wound up in the ER from last year's
flu shot and she never had previous allergies. The ER doc said he was sick of seeing people coming in with bad reactions from the flu shots. He said don't get any more flu shots.

22. it's an excellent hospital in Chicago
nothing wrong with the hospital or the ER doc. It was the DAMN flu shots causing an adverse reaction that almost killed the poor woman. That happens more often than people think. The woman broke out in large hives all over her body and the ER doc had seen several other cases just like that in the SAME DAY.

26. Flu kills 30-40000 a year in the US (CDC)
Every year in the United States, on average:

5% to 20% of the population gets the flu;
more than 200,000 people are hospitalized from flu complications; and
approximately 36,000 people die from flu.


http://www.cdc.gov/flu/keyfacts.htm

Sorry, I'm in THREE high risk groups, and I'm damn well gonna get that shot, as I do every year, and I'm still here.

4. Because this administration ,which believes that unwed teenage
mothers should be fully accountable for their actions , operates on a no-fault approach for its own .

21. Because Imperial Family Members and Capos don't make mistakes
Since they were Divinely Appointed by God and Fat Tony Scalia, no one they appoint makes mistakes, either.

Thus, to fire someone would be an admission of Mortality.

And the Imperial Subjects might grow ansty and uneasy withtheir new-made chains.

24. Everyone in the Bush administration is always doing ...
... an outstanding job. The CIA gives Bush "darn good intelligence." Rumsfeld is outstanding and we're lucky to have him. All of Bush's appointees are "good men" or "good women." They're all just super terrific, including Bush himself.

The Bush Administration gives itself high marks in everything. No mistakes, always great work...just wonderful, wonderful. At least if you ask them.
