Prez Declares Porker Flu National Emergency

From the Associated (with terrorists) Press:

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency and empowered his health secretary to suspend federal requirements and speed treatment for thousands of infected people.

The declaration that Obama signed late Friday authorized Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to bypass federal rules so health officials can respond more quickly to the outbreak, which has killed more than 1,000 people in the United States.

The goal is to remove bureaucratic roadblocks and make it easier for sick people to seek treatment and medical providers to provide it immediately. That could mean fewer hurdles involving Medicare, Medicaid or health privacy regulations.

Could be nothing - sounds reasonable enough, except, why late Friday night when the newsies are tucked all warm in their beds?

If this weren't an administration of the weasels, for the weasels, and by the weasels, I wouldn't be suspicious at all.

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
