    #1 and when you think about Windy Pink Shoes, remember that the Texas legislature, knowing they couldn’t just shut down all the baby killing mills, set the standards for them that met any other out patient clinic. Basically forcing them to give good safe service to the women that had the procedure. So Wendy filibustered to keep them open, no matter if they were up to par. It seems to me that her political views and her worship at the altar of abortion trumps the safety of the women. War on women you say?

    I’ve said it before, but a nation that refuses to provide basic human rights protection to the most innocent among us may deserve what it’s getting. And don’t ever forget that Zero also approves of infantacide if by accident the child does survive it in utero murder attempts, but I won’t get into all the other things he approves of and the people that he admires.

    Which is more ridiculous – the idea of installing thermometers in all the schools to detect an Ebola outbreak, or the people who believe that it would work. I guess government just continues to believe that it has to do something, no matter how ridiculous it is, to give the sheeple an appearance of caring. How many things would we all be better off with today if government would just leave it alone?

    Why don’t they just hire a voo-doo mama for a school nurse?

    I would almost bet my house that you’d be far less likely to die of Ebola than something else, even in Liberia, Sierra Leone, or any of the other West African garden spots in the news recently.

    Installing ineffective equipment in the attempt to detect a disease that simply cannot be transmitted many miles via wind is paranoia run amok.

    Call me heartless – (please!) – but I would put a “Dome” over west-central Africa and keep them there. Enough of the natives refuse to change their habits sufficiently to prevent these monkey meat > human viral outbreaks. And when aid workers go in to minister to their medical needs and/or educate them how to protect themselves… Well, there have been enough instances where the villagers KILL these altruists to sour me on the whole idea.

    Odd thing about what you propose. IF it were possible to somehow change their diets, traditions etc and totally eradicate Ebola through prevention…………. Something else would show up.

    The best thing that Ameruhka could do is quarantine travel to and from the hot areas. However his highness and the peecee infected air heads won’t do it. My flabber was ghasted at the myriad of reasons why it just would not be right to restrict travel was astounding. So much for the gubments primary purpose to protect the proletariat from threats.

    I had a great 1 hour session out in my back yard jungle behind the garage. Pulling up grape vines and ruellia, lopping volunteer treelets at ground level, stacking this organic debris into piles and wondering how to dispose of it. I’m not in the mood for a compost pile, so I guess I need to buy some old-fashioned black plastic bags and put one per week in the CoH trash bin.

    The cool air made this session possible. A sweat suit protected my arms from the rashy reaction I get from contact with weeds. Normally I can only go for 20-30 mins before I have to stop and wash my forearms and apply more Allegra cream.

    I love it when the tenants call me to let me know they have their rent ready.

    It’s so much easier than when I have to chase ’em down.

    I’m really liking the new batch of tenants. They not only are renting our units, but seem to truly love them. I’m about to go see one of them, and she gives me a hug every time I see her and has such a huge smile on her face. Cute as the dickens, she is.

    Off I go. After I see her, I see my Mom, then I’m going to a craft show at a church in Pearland to buy some more Christmas gifts, then shopping for an item or two at Big Lots…then maybe enjoying some work in my back yard. Which is an oxymoronic phrase, I suppose.

    Y’all be good!

    mharper (11) and seagull (13),

    I worked and lived in West Africa during the eighties. Some of that time was in the very potential hot zones mentioned in the news today. I am certifiably a paleface, but (gasp !!) I have eaten monkey. It is not the act of eating monkey that puts you at risk unless you eat uncooked monkey, but rather it is the act of skinning and cleaning the game that will put you at risk.

    The fact that the DNA of monkeys and apes is almost 98% identical to ours adds to the risk. The similar DNA makes it easy for not-so-lethal viruses in the monkeys and apes to jump species to us via the exchange of blood products (cleaning and skining). It was just such a “jump” that let “SIV” in red-faced marmoset monkeys jump to chimpanzees (and bonopoes) and then finally to us.

    I know that it is shocking that Africans eat chimpanzees and monkeys, but did you know that some residents of the Southern USA actually eat tree rats and marsupials? There have been 39 deaths so far this year in Texas due to hantavirus.

    Ebola is hard to identify until the patient is symtomatic, which is also the time he is a risks to others.

    I wasn’t snooting the practise of eating monkey meat. I was criticizing continuing to do so AFTER you have been told it can cause fatal diseases. Diseases that not only kill you but your whole friggin family that is trying to take care of you. And attacking aid workers is totally beyond the pale.

    I know you were directing a big part of your comment to MHarper.

    My point was………The only way to effectively protect the people in our country is to isolate the hot zones. If we are going to continue to allow folks to travel, when they leave there they MUST be quarantined for the gestation period of the disease plus 3 days. But that ain’t gonna happen. We have learned nothing from how we have handled AIDS in this country. The similarities are staggering.

    My ghast truly has been flabbered at the “political insanity” that has reared its head concerning this disease. I read stories and comments crying about how it is a violation of the Dallas man’s family rights to quarantine them. SIGH

    #43 – If you were King, and if your intent was to destroy your kingdom, how else would you handle it? Things are proceeding exactly as planned – the only surprise is that it has taken this long to get this ebola thing fully politicized, but it did face stiff competition from the NFL abuse and name problems and seems like some other stuff but I can’t remember back that far, maybe immigration or something like that.

    Has anyone else noticed that one outrageous act perpetrated by Zero cannot be allowed to simmer very long before it is replaced by another outrageous act. That is good politics, so that when he stands up to say something there is only one item on the agenda – whatever the outrage of the moment is, as all others have already been forgotten. I’d like to go back and try to identify them all and make a list, but I’m too lazy and apathetic, and besides I don’t think I’ve got enough time left to include them all.

    I think the cool front is gone now. It was a wonderful 66 when I got up, and I spent almost 2 hours working outside before lunch. But it is back up to 83 now, not so fall-like. I made a sweet discovery in the back yard, finding that I still have a live banana plant. It’s small, about 3′ high and was completely hidden by weedy growth around it. All cleared out now and I’ll try to keep better watch over it than I did the last 12 months.

    Israeli news reports that our Dallas based ebola patient has died. Our media is reporting (take your choice) that: (1) he is in critical condition, (2) that the country is in good hands, (3) that the Koch brothers had him assassinated, (4) it’s Bush’s fault, or (5) we can’t say “Redskins” any more.

    I’m reminded of the time Arafat was in the French hospital and the doctors were reporting that he was stable and not getting any worse. Of course, he had been dead for 3 days, but they were still trying to retrieve those Swiss bank account numbers. I suppose if you are dead it’s OK to report that you are stable and that your health is not deteriorating.

    Since when did the constitutional requirements mean anything? At least to the current group of thugs. They’ll just do whatever they want, and the limp wristed R’s will just go along to get along, whether they be in the House, the Senate, or yes even the SCOTUS. Besides, the VP does nothing except serve as assassination insurance anyway, other than perhaps cast an occasional tie-breaker vote in the Senate if required. And when have you ever know a Dem to be embarrassed by anything or call another one on their mis-steps? Biden is too good at his job to be dismissed – Eric would be a real threat to POTUS because he knows where the bodies are buried, and he’s ambitious enough that he would want to do something other than just sit around.

    I went outside and finished clipping the way overgrown weeds around my garden. No one who mowed the yard this summer even tried to get close to my garden beds, and between the heat and my back, I couldn’t, either.

    I managed to clear 3 of the beds completely this afternoon. I hope to throw out some lettuce and chard seeds soon. I still have one large bed and my asparagus bed to clear.

    My forearms are sore from handling the weed eater. After I came inside, I fixed dinner and the four of us – Hubby, me, Handsome Son, and Girlfriend had a very nice dinner together. Then I washed dishes, and now I’m esconced on the couch with Barf Kitty at my side, trying occasionally to get into my lap, and trying to figure out Lubuntu. I think I like it better than OpenSuse, but the jury is still out. I’m still in tryout mode, using USB sticks until I can make up my mind.
