In the San Francisco Bay Area, a 79-year-old woman who had been in line at a supermarket waiting for her shot died on Thursday after she fainted or lost her balance and fell, hitting her head on a metal object, The Associated Press reported. Witnesses told the police that the woman and her husband had been in line for about four hours.

Why is this George Bush's fault? Well, you think maybe if he'd spent more time doing something about issues of concern to the lives and health of the American people rather than sucking up to Big Pharma we wouldn't be dependent on an American company's decision to outsource vital vaccine production to an obviously inadequate foreign plant?

Consider this a standing-in-the-checkout-line discussion point. Along with gas prices of course. Weird weather anywhere in the world is also fair game "since George Bush pretends he doesn't believe in global warming because it would upset his big corporate buddies."

These are just openers. Readers, suggestions for other topics? This is our job these last two weeks. We are the ground game.
