Starting to wonder if Texas is any more competent than Africa in dealing with ebola!

11. So yesterday I got slammed for posting with some irony

the fact that the "only known" Ebola case in the USA was in Dallas home of the fucked-up assassination of JFK and to some fair extent the fucked-up S and L scandal. Then Out of the Blue of the Western Sky came the deriders: "non-sequitur", the great Texas Hospital System, blah blah blah… once again I was persona non gratis around here because I stated the obvious truth: we are not of a mindset to handle LIFE AND DEATH until it hits us in the face and even then, we are sorely incompetent. There are many reasons for this, not the least of which is WISHFUL THINKING: whereas it IS TRUE that Ebola is much much less virulent than flu or the common cold, YOU DON'T FRIGGING DIE IF YOU GET A COLD. You will probably die if you get Ebola and don't get FIRST CLASS TREATMENT. When was the last time that you got first-class treatment? Hell, they can't even assure the President that some asshole won't get into an elevator with him with a loaded gun. So how the hell are you going to assume that you're gonna be OK because you live here? I. Don't. Know.

I know I know…you don't like this post. Before you come after me again, listen to, or better yet, read the transcript of the prepared remarks of the CDC folk and the Administration. They read like a Cialis warning on a TV ad. It's like the reverse of the Libyan Red Line in the Desert, they are crossing the line each time they are told that it can't possibly happen. My favorite is old Doc Fauci telling us that even if a bunch of people were to catch Ebola, it would not be an outbreak. Because we have tracking abilities and isolation abilities. WTF? They won't even clean up the vomit. Give me a effing break.
