For the last 14 days Our.GOP.Com forums have been helping me try to keep my sanity. I have the H1N1 flu. Remember? The one that we can't get enough vaccine for? I'm wondering if the root cause isn't Mr. Bush's selling off of the federal agencies and regulatory authorities to his cronies at places like Halliburton and China.
I'd like to blame Obama - He's running the show now. However, I don't feel he's been there long enough to totally fowl things up this badly.

COHEN: Well, it's an interesting question, though. Would you be against mandating?
SIMONSEN: Well, I think this is very interesting because, I mean, especially for the health-care worker example. I mean, there are many, many good reasons why health care workers should be considering immunization for their own safety but also to protect and, first, do no harm to the patients that they are treating. Having said that, does it work to mandate?
I think what would work better would be to say that there was a shortage and people tend to buy more of something that's in demand. (Laughter.) We saw that -- there was one season where, really, people lined up all night to get a flu shot.
COHEN: Right.
SIMONSEN: And I mean ---
COHEN: Well, there is shortage.
SIMONSEN: No, actually, because we thought we were going to need two doses for every adult and since we are - only one dose, so, actually, we have twice as many doses and enough for the whole population at this point, I understand.
(Laughter)
