You know in those dystopian, post-apocalyptic movies, how credits start while the camera slowly pans over "old" newspaper headlines?

This is that headline/opening it's panning over:

A call by U.S. President George W. Bush for Congress to give him the power to use the military in law enforcement roles in the event of a bird flu pandemic has been criticized as akin to introducing martial law.

[livejournal.com profile] saintpeg saw a different, truncated announcement about this, "Bush plans to use military on bird flu" and, in a moment of ironiagnosia, thought it was from The Onion.

ON EDIT: CNNasty gets a momentary gold star to decorate its piles and piles of dung for running the story with this image, which tells you all you need to know, really.


I swear, this administration will turn me into a physiognomist. And possibly a frenologist, too.
