Original message
TUNA. Under the BED.
"Stating that no one in the world is prepared for an influenza pandemic, HHS Secretary Michael Leavitt said, "When you go to the store and buy three cans of tuna fish, buy a fourth and put it under the bed. When you go to the store to buy some milk, pick up a box of powdered milk. Put it under the bed. When you do that for a period of four to six months, you are going to have a couple of weeks of food, and that's what we're talking about."

Now we're seeing the Warner-Brothers version of reality. This is high comedy. Everything else in this horrible, murderous administration is described as "laughable" or "a joke" because of sheer deceit and willful neglect. When Bush says something utterly and profoundly stupid -which is always- I don't laugh; I become more embarrassed, afraid, and saddened.

But when a GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL tells me to put cans of tuna UNDER MY BED (my presumption here is that it was said with a STRAIGHT FACE and a trace of the excitement of revelation) I nearly spat tea all over my keyboard. The sense of this all not being quite real hit me like a pile of ACME Earthquake Pills (just add water). It hit me like a boulder falling on my tiny umbrella.

Neocons, I defy you to ever accuse me of being melodramatic or over-the-top again. Your Tuna-Under-The-Bed administration will not be lived down.

You might as well just duct tape the plastic sheeting around you like a body condom. That will keep you safe. ;)

shortage as well, you are out of luck. I guess you also need water to drink powdered milk too, if you go for that kind of thing. Blechhh...:puke:

I think we should have a haiku contest called "Tuna and Powdered Milk"

I'll start:

"Milk is safe, powdered;
Better with Tuna from under
the place where you sleep.'

Simply add water
A white dry powdered milk
Drink, serve with tuna.

Oh hearty black bean
Strength thy give, sky from sun
Rice, beans and water.

Cans kept under bed
Buy extra, save, skimp, and store
How to open can?

Don't you store your canned goods under the bed like normal people do?

You just know that in the original version they wanted to say 'under the mattress' until someone pointed out the obvious problem with that advice.

76. I'm reasonably certain mine already know how to use can openers, since
they have demonstrated that they can actually use computers.

I was kitty-sitting for a friend, and walked into the kitchen to see one of her cats batting the cat food off the counter, and the big tom backing the can (with a pop-top lid) into a corner, and hooking his claw into the pop top--damn near got it open!!

Duct tape and plastic wrap, next to a poster of the color code terror alert chart, along with some cans of Star-Kist, maybe in front a mural of a flooded New Orleans.

39. Reminds me of something Bob Dole said in his 1996 campaign
he was criticizing Clinton's efforts to provide affordable medical care, and told an anecdote about how they paid for catastrophic coverage in "his day":

They would "pass the hat" or take up a collection for the person in need, i.e., "help pay for Jim's appendectomy, toss a nickel in the hat". :eyes:

Yeah, that's a helluva insurance system there. "Sorry Jim, we couldn't take out your infected appendix-- we didn't sell enough cupcakes at the bake sale."

Just goes to show how totally disconnected these Repukes are from reality.

i saw a report on...i think it was 60 minutes...the guy(scientist) who first identified the bird-flu virus has himself stockpiled a 3-month supply of food and water- and i'm with him.

if this thing becomes an air-borne pandemic, i plan to lock the doors and stay inside for at least a couple months.

129. The VERY first thing I thought was "looney tunes"
and then of the cartoons. This is SO like that- the fact that it occured to the guy that this was the FIRST place to begin storing food. Like those gophers who store nuts under their beds! Or a Wile E. Coyote sketch. It's also really funny that those were the ONLY two foods he'd mentioned.

"Were any of these asshats actual people before they started working for this bunch of looney tunes?" That is a DAMN good question!

Everyone should have a supply of food that will last without refrigeration and doesn't need electricity to be cooked. I was reminded of this when a Tornado swept through my town last Sunday. I still don't have power.

152. of course it's a perfectly reasonable thing to do
it's the way they think they have to give us their little examples, see children? you could keep this can under your bed. Isn't that fun??
I've lived in earthquake country, tornado country and now rain and flood country and yeah, ya need stuff stored up. I don't like being patronized by old rich white men.

140. I refuse to put food under my bed.
That way madness lies.

However, I do keep my pantry well-stocked. Who knows when someone will break a leg and not be able to get around so easily... or, yeah, bird flu, swine flu, etc.

143. remember George Costanza eating sandwiches in bed
while having sex? Hmm.
Anyway the thing that really angers me is the way these people talk down to us as though were are slow children. The country got along without them before they were here and please god will be when they are gone.(and soon I hope). I am so happy those senior citizen's jumped *s ass at that talk he gave. Getting old ladies mad is a bad idea.

157. So is Pickles stashing tuna and powdered milk under the bed?
These people are sooooooooo stupid. Shouldn't we be firing them? I mean in the private sector that they love so much, they would be fired.
