US, Texas: Governor Issues Disaster Proclamation Due to Swine Influenza; Border Closure Described As An "Option" #swineflu

Free clue Sir... the horse left the barn a while ago...

Will you also close all your state borders and airports and ports?

And weren't you talking secession but two weeks ago?

STOOOPID RACIST

(I am sorry if information scares you)

1. If they seal the borders will they promise to keep all the Booshes in TX?

I could get behind that.

2. Well on a more serious note this was actually done

in 1918 in some limited areas

And... this is also releasing all kinds of federal funds

I have no problem with the disaster proclamation, pretty SOP... but I have a problem with the closing the border shtick... as that WILL induce panic

3. It's called selective secession.

LOL

Well I am peachy keen to know idiocy is not limited to our borders, in case there was any doubt

WHEN politics takes precedence over SCIENCE

5. Didn't I read yesterday that he was asking the CDC for flu medicine to be sent to Texas?

6. Of course and the disaster declaration opens the way for a LOT of

resources to be poured down there
