"I thought they had enough portapotties..."

Can you imagine all that e-coli?

“Washington, DC (AHN) - The federal government is calling Tuesday’s historic inauguration in Washington, D.C. a “public health emergency.”

Millions of people will be flooding the streets...”

I was thinking about the lack of sufficient toilets when I read to this point, and began laughing like “H”.

[Onelifetogive]

The declaration permits the [secretary of HHS] to issue a waiver of the Social Security Act for the period covered by the declaration...

Sweet. No payroll taxes!!!

[Onelifetogive]

medical services must be available unabated to those enrolled in certain federal health programs

Think about this one..."Oh, wait, he's a taxpayer...leave him lying there."

[1COUNTER-MORTER-68]

Millions of people will be flooding the streets of the nation’s capital, and if something happens that creates confusion on the ground, medical services must be available unabated to those enrolled in certain federal health programs like Medicaid, Medicare and the State Children’s Health Program, or S-Chip.

Is it just me or does this seem like a strange statement?

They don’t even know how many people will show up,,,

FOX reported that only 300,000 would be allowed through the

check-points(7?) to the parade route...mmmmmmm...

Doing to the National Mall what they did to the Superdome after Katrina?

Our entire country is in a mental health emergency, to be sure.

Right about 52% have lost their mind.

[Clemenza]

LOL! Voiced by the late great Roscoe Lee Brown. I thought that bot said "plankton from the sea!"

I wonder if this inauguration will have Carousel? ;-)

Hold on a second... either that is really poor reporting or "certain" individuals have priority for receiving health care than those of us who actually have to pay for our own health care...

Am I reading that wrong?

[LucyT]

Wonder if those in certain Federal health programs are part of a Rent-A-Mob?

He actually says both "plankton from the sea", and "proteins from the sea" in different lines.

And please, *gawd*, no Renewal!

The massive number of Port-a-Potties are necessary because Obama supporters are full of $#!+. A crowd that big is an easy target for a chemical or bioweapon attack. Easy for suicide bombers too. It's the last place any sane person wants to be.

That’s the way I read it.

One unreported side effect of this whole thing is the grass on the mall will need cut three or four times a week come this spring.
