Items You Should Have in Your Emergency First Aid Kit

Well, the Democrats in charge of Congress are going to sit by and blame their lack of action on the destruction of democracy otherwise known as the "leadership" of George W. Bush on that handful of Repbulicans in the minority who care more about the most unpopular President in history than they care about you. As they sit back and let their inaction speak volumes, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney are allowed to run amok, completely unmolested by the psychotic mugger known as the Constitution. Maybe you are comfortable in your misplaced belief that America can simply run out the remaining months of the Bush administration with as few dangers as a major conference leader running out the clock against Northeastern Idaho Tech during homecoming, but as for me I'm preparing right now for the emergency measures that might potentially have to be taken if the full extent of George W. Bush's madness reaches critical mass.

Items to be included in an emergency first aid kit:

Bandages, and they don't certainly don't have to be Ace.

Adhesive bandage strips and gauze.

Adhesive tape.

Antibiotic ointment.

Safety pins.

Baking soda.

Cleansers and antibacterial soap.

Cold packs.

Cotton swabs.

Face mask to allow for breathing in case of biological retaliation.

Rubber gloves.

Flashlights and plenty of batteries.

Lip balm and sunscreen in case you have to spend time like Katrina victims.

Plastic baggies.

Scissors and knives.

Hand lotion and soap.

Snake bite kit.

Thermometer.

Anti-diarrhea medicine.

Decongestants and other cold-related medicines.

Laxatives.

Ipecac for use in inducing vomiting. (In order to better prepare yourself for the unpleasant eventuality of needing this, you might want to practice after each nationally television speech given by Pres. Bush, or any time you accidentally catch Dick Cheney's monstrously deformed face on your television.)
