Really, Huffington Post? Really?
Holy cow. This was spread across the front page of the Huffington Post. Let’s all go into survivalist mode and take to the bunkers!
One case. One. Really? One case and the Huffington Post looks like the Drudge Report?
I am so over you, Huffington Post.
Thanks to Bubbie for the heads up.
Kaylyn the Texas Democratic Party fellow who lives at my house right now says there is an upside to this. People who would take to the bunkers over this for the next month are not the kind of people we want voting anyway.
Holy science denial! Morons are reacting to Ebola much the way the Reaganites acted toward HIV/AIDS. Ebola is a very containable/eradicable disease.
Syphilis and other STDs would have been gone with the penicillin protocol, if these maroons had educated themselves. Then there are the anti-VAXes bringing back polio and whooping cough.
St00pid is more dangerous to our health than any other disease.
1I agree with PKM, and I am not freaked out, and I do not think Ebola will be a huge public health crisis. But I think it’s a big story. I Would put it on pi as well.
2I’ve got my full body condom at the ready.
3Well, thanks to our Progressive forebears, we have public water systems, public sewer systems, and a public health system (after a fashion), so I hope the great Ebola plague that conservatives seem to simultaneously fear and desire will not take hold here.
4If we could get the Secret Service to follow protocol like the American Medical Association and the Center for Disease Control, our President would not be in danger from either
5Ebola nor White House infiltrators.
Look, I bet one of them Columbian popsies the Secret Service played with awhile ago coulda caught that crasher in no time! There were at least six uniformed Secret Service people on duty in front of the WH but none of them could catch the interloper. All six of them should be put back in boot camp and trained by a psycho drill instructor. The female Secret Service agent who saw the guy coming and tried to lock the door before he arrived was flattened when the guy crashed through the entrance. It was an off duty Secret Service agent who finally did tackle him. Fortunately, we are doing way the hell better with ebola than the Secret Service is doing with their prime objective.
6And I’ll bet that Gov Goodhair is disappointed that that guy didn’t enter the country by sneaking over the TX/Mexico border. It would have been SUCH a “highlight” to his next presidential run. “Oops”! ;-}
7IronCelt, as a precaution, I would recommend isolating all the capitalists rushing to Africa to exploit their resources be quarantined for 90 days before being allowed to board any returning flight.
Necessary? No. But it sure would force a few of those scary tactic fear mongering science denier capitalists to speak a little truth.
I’m cool with making Africa Ebola free, but I seriously think the capitalist whores need to pay for their wishes to be free to exploit Africa and be Ebola free. Once again, American troops working for the exploiter class. It’s time these capitalist moochers pay their own freight.
8I’m sorry I’m completely simpled out. When I saw the Ebola illustration my first nasty thought was “what was the artist doing desecrating a drawing of Mickey Mouse?” I swear I saw mouse ears and a curved arrow going into Mickey’s face.
Micr out. Time for sleep.
9@ maggie, there was an article in the WashPost Magazine a couple of years ago about training for the Secret Service, and it sounded like a really tough course. In the end, they were told, “you are a meat shield”– it is their duty, if all else fails, to put their bodies between the attacker and the President.
Some of these jackwagons aren’t even close to doing their job. And they want to put even more big new barriers around the White House instead….
10Mickey Mouse with an elephant nose…hahahaha. Thanks for the laugh, Micr. I had to go back up and look at it.
11I’m not going to believe the story about the Ebola diagnosis is real until I hear a right-winger somehow blame it on Obama.
12Huffpo has been infected since birth. Remember, its namesake used to be a Republican and she only switched because the Republicans were so embarrassingly stupid she objected to the association. But she still has those Republican values and her only goal is to maximize profit. Thus all the “click bait” and the excited headlines.
Huffpo is entertainment, not news. It is the “pro wrestling” of the journalism world.
13I think Ariana Huffington is the epitome of the phrase “Limousine Liberal”.
