One Hand Sanitizes The Other

Glenn Reynolds has been on this great and presicent kick at Instapundit regarding a political sleeper issue which just might change the course of America's history. That's right, hand sanitizing.

Well, the timing could not have been more perfect for Washington's Metro transit system to issue this press release:

Metro officials, alongside local public health department volunteers, will be distributing free bottles of waterless hand sanitizer to Metrorail and Metrobus riders next week to raise awareness of easy ways to reduce the chances of passing germs as the fall flu season begins.

The release says Metro officials will provide free hand sanitizer to riders at a handful (a sanitized handful, hopefully) of Metrorail stations, includding Rosslyn, Huntington, Federal Triangle, and the Smithsonian.

Now before you start thinking that one flu over the cuckoo's nest, consider: these stations are among the most popular for subway-riding government officials and America's top political strategists. Anti-virus viral marketing at its best — let the politicians know we mean hand sanitizing business!

Clearly, hand sanitizer will be for this century what flouridation of water was for the last. And Dr. Strangelove fans surely should see the similarity between purity of essence and Purell.
