3. I have no doubt. (Without even reading drudge sludge.)

It's been a theory of mine for a long time--the "natural way" to control world population and eliminate the poor.

4. Alarmist nonsense.

I'm less worried about birdie flu than I am about the Yellowstone caldera - and I'm not worried about that at all. :)

5. what exactly here do you find so ridiculous?

And didn't people write similar things, albeit on a more local scale, about New Orleans and hurricanes for years? And the scenarios were ignored. You would wish to ignore this?

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7 - A plan developed by the Bush administration to deal with any possible outbreak of pandemic flu shows that the United States is woefully unprepared for what could become the worst disaster in the nation's history.

A draft of the final plan, which has been years in the making and is expected to be released later this month, says a large outbreak that began in Asia would be likely, because of modern travel patterns, to reach the United States within "a few months or even weeks."

If such an outbreak occurred, hospitals would become overwhelmed, riots would engulf vaccination clinics, and even power and food would be in short supply, according to the plan, which was obtained by The New York Times.

7. DUer's are blind to this but Drudge does that all the time....

Drudge wants attention, attention, attention. All media outlets do. He will print whatever screams -- and fuck Bush and the whole Republican establishment if necessary. Drudge's concern is readers, not ideology.

8. Actually, Most Media Outlets Want to Become BIGGER Media Outlets

and they will report whatever the Regime tells them to,
because the Regime has been tearing up the rules that limited how many stations they could own.
