Your Government, At Work for You

First it was duct tape, now it's tuna; from Salon's War Room (which channels AmericaBlog):

Speaking at a flu summit meeting in Wyoming Friday, the president's Health and Human Services secretary said that Americans can't expect the federal government to take care of them if a pandemic strikes. His advice: Stockpile food in your bedroom.

"When you go to the store and buy three cans of tuna fish, buy a fourth and put it under the bed," Leavitt said. "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."

If there's a castrophe, don't look to the GOP-controlled government for coddling. Just make sure you have a can opener handy...
