This is too good to be lost in the comments. Letterman's Top Ten list for April 17th was "Top Ten Features Of President Bush's Bird Flu Pandemic Plan." The list is below the fold.
10. Hang "Mission Accomplished" sign in every Kentucky Fried Chicken9. Torture some Perdue employees until they talk
8. Scare birds away with giant radioactive kitties
7. Be on the lookout for any bird which looks "fluey"
6. Build wall along border so birds can't walk in from Mexico
5. Never leave the house, avoid human contact -- like Letterman
4. Tax cuts for the rich
3. C'mon, it's a Bush plan -- you actually think there's ten items?
2. If you see a bird, run like you're being chased by a tiger
1. Hang on until 2009 when it becomes Hillary's headache

As you know, my nephew, LeRoy Bell, was a contestant on the XFactor singing contest. You may also know that he was voted off the show last week. I'm not going to say much about that other than to note that LeRoy was NOT the 8th or 9th best singer in the group. He was clearly in the top three, and…

"Fluehy" -
I hate to say it, but I can actually here Dubya saying this...
That got me started up. Almost as good a a cup of double espresso..,
ROTFLMAO.
Thanks for the humor.
Actually, isn't #7 not too bad an idea? For the last couple of years, as West Nile season has come on in the summer, the local (and maybe state) public health folks here in northwest Florida have put out advisories asking people to report any dead or sick birds, as they may have West Nile. Wouldn't this make sense for avian flu, too, esp. given the apparent risk of handling an infected bird?
As for #9, I first thought, what's Perdue University got to do with it? Then the lightbulb came on...
Oh, sure, reporting sick birds would be a good idea. The joke for #7 is the characterization of them as "fluey." :)
Letterman left out producing an updated version of "Duck (sic) and Cover". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_and_Cover_(film)
