Don't Mess With Texas! (when they don't need stuff)

So much for the independent nation of Texas. Let's see: federal assistance for natural disasters, accepting bailout money, and now asking for a chunk of our federal stockpiles of anti-viral medication. I say let the Texans make their own.

You can't be against government and then go begging for help. It's un-Texany.

From the Dallas Morning News:

Gov. Rick Perry has asked for 37,430 courses of anti-viral medicine from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention because of the swine flu outbreak.

And a high school near San Antonio has been ordered closed this week because a third student from the school may have the disease. Two cases have been confirmed.

"As a precautionary measure, I have requested that medication be on hand in Texas to help curb the spread of swine flu by helping those with both confirmed and suspected cases of this swine flu virus, as well as health care providers who may have come in contact with these patients," Perry said in a prepared statement.
