If Ebola House Is Funny, Why Not Breast Cancer House? C'mon! Lighten up!

It occurred to me that over the years, many of the haunted houses that I've been thru have had a "creepy mental institution" theme of one sort or another.

LOL. Mental illness in hi-larious!

Speaking of Ebola...again and still...I saw a news story this morning that said this quarantined nurse misled the public, and worked for the CDC, and her attorney was associated with Al Sharpton and the White House.

Just when you thought "Bad Taste" had hit the floor, some moron comes along and lowers the floor even more.

If there is something funny about Ebola, then Bubonic Plague must have been knee-slapping hysterical. 

This is different than the unfunny school-yard joke about the Helen Keller wind-up doll that walks into walls.  People are dying from Ebola, and it could threaten to turn into a pandemic and kill hundreds or thousands - especially children and pregnant women.

Somebody needs to give this clown a funny-bone transplant or a new brain.  

Looks like Australia is the latest to give into panic with mandatory quarantine and travel restrictions. But stingrays are permitted, go figger.

@TheCredibleHulk

Crazy people don't know they're crazy, so they don't find such displays offensive.

@noblefurrtexas 

Hickox was working for Doctors Without Borders in Africa.

"MSF Nurse Held in Isolation in New Jersey"

http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/article/msf-nurse-held-isolation-new-jersey

Hickox finished the EIS program, it is a 2 year term, prior to working with DBW.

as far as her atty, so what? and very revealing the insertion of Sharpton BTW, not trying to distract from the subject are you?

This gets better.  This nurse, now in Maine, has refused to follow the voluntary quarantine agreement, and will do whatever she wants to.

It also appears she has panicked her neighbors and others.

@Catbird 

yes, you are right, you have "missed something".

"missed a lot" might be more apropos

@Catbird

Ah for the old days of Reagan/Alzheimer's jokes and GW Bush death fantasies, when folks could lighten up a bit.

@TheRuddSki

I'm certain that there's a White Knight with a pen, somewhere, ready to take up the cause and be offended for them by proxy. 

@mavdog @noblefurrtexas It doesn't matter who she was there with....if she was there at all.  Any association with the CDC, and the confirmed association with Al Sharpton AND The White House, makes this look like a setup to excuse Obama's absurd stance on quarantines. 

One of the problems with the Obama Administration is that we never know when they're telling the truth.  And, this woman acts like another Sandra Fluke.

@noblefurrtexas

It's not a virus, it's a civil-rights issue. This woman's reproductive rights are threatened by a vast right-wing overreaction to a junior-varsity infection.

@dingo @fred.garvin.mp.713 There's either a black family in UP at the corner of Lovers Lane and Douglas, or there's an ongoing home invasion in very slow motion. 

If I'm not mistaken, most of those houses are rentals, but still very nice.

A friend of mine who lives in that neighborhood says there is also a black doctor and his family living somewhere in UP. 

@mavdog @Catbird Wait. This is a new wrinkle: The President being blamed for the spread of the D68 virus. I don't believe anyone else has come up with that one, yet. We'll have to award Catbird on the basis of originality, even though the virus has shown up mostly in the Midwest, rather than in border states where one might expect it if the vector really were "unaccompanied minors from Mexico and points south.

@TheCredibleHulk

The occupy movement was a great show of solidarity to the mentally ill, but they didn't and still don't know it.

Oddly enough.

@noblefurrtexas 

I'll paraphrase your post:

The facts and reality do not matter, don't bother me with these as all they do is get in the way of my conspiracy fabrications!

@noblefurrtexas

The reason all her CDC and dem party affiliations disappeared from the web was a massive, simultaneous and coincidental crashing of thousands of hard drives across the globe - the same drives the faulty, deadly CDC ebola instruction poster PDF and select IRS files resided on.

@TheRuddSki You wouldn't believe how many people on the net have compared this setup to the Fluke setup. 

These people can't do anything honestly.

@bmarvel

I blame the video

@TheRuddSki

Not to mention the Tea Partiers.

All blissfully oblivious.

@mavdog Actually, the conspiracy charge wasn't mine; it came from a friend in the media who is a former Democrat who doesn't trust Obama at all. 

If this woman worked for the CDC in its Intelligence Division, and if her lawyer is who she says it is. that's a huge pile of interesting coincidences....is it not?

@TheRuddSki I love it.  LOL

I thought about using the dead computer drive with the IRS.  But, my lawyer assured me I wouldn't have a computer in prison. 

@noblefurrtexas

hmm, how did they get Gov. Chrisite and Belleview Hospital to participate in "this setup"?

and Doctors Without Borders!

they must be in cahoots with the Obama White House, too! [/sarcasm]

@noblefurrtexas

Honestly?

@Catbird @bmarvel @mavdog I gather, catbird, that you weren't really advancing that theory yourself, then.

@TheRuddSki nice.

@TheCredibleHulk

As the Official Tea Party spokesperson, I feel compelled to remind that the party, as it were, fields candidates and wins elections. Occupy, not so much.

Although, the creator and leader of the movement, Squaw Warren, may be the next dem presidential candidate.

@noblefurrtexas 

Actually, the conspiracy charge wasn't mine;

I see, you put forth the "conspiracy charge" several times, make comments on its validity, but "the conspiracy charge wasn't mine".

uh huh.

If this woman worked for the CDC in its Intelligence Division, and if her lawyer is who she says it is. that's a huge pile of interesting coincidences....is it not?

no, it's not.

she works in the medical field, enrolled in the CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service (that is not an "Intelligence Division" BTW) to receive more training, and used that training to assist Doctors Without Borders with their program in Africa.

She is a person who should be honored for her service, not derided by those who want to see a conspiracy behind every door.

@mavdog I know there's a point there,  somewhere.  But, I just can't find it. 

Gov. Christie and Obama were at odds on this one.  Obama wanted no quarantines; Christie mandated quarantines.

@bmarvel 

au contraire Bill, they're advancing it.

true believers...

@TheRuddSki

Are you trying to argue the point that fielding candidates and winning elections indicates some sort of collective mental stability?

Seriously?

@mavdog Great.  What is she doing with a lawyer who is buds with Al Sharpton and has worked with him, and who also has been a visitor to the White House?

But, you seem to be saying you have in good authority that she has never worked for the CDC; Yes?

I find it most interesting that this also coincides with the President's objection to Gov. Christie's mandatory quarantine.

So, if she doesn't work for the CDC.  Who does she work for, and is it full-time employment?  It's not Doctors Without Borders.

@noblefurrtexas 

I know there's a point there, somewhere. But, I just can't find it

ok, maybe you'll figure it out later.

@TheCredibleHulk

It is the basis for our democratic system, so it shows more sanity in regards to results than, say, shitting on a cop car or screaming profanities at passerby like crazed loons.

With apologies to that magnificent bird.

@noblefurrtexas 

Great. What is she doing with a lawyer who is buds with Al Sharpton and has worked with him, and who also has been a visitor to the White House?

apparently he is a lawyer, whose sevices she desired. he's from NYC. he's a dem.

that's all you have to support this "setup" claim?

But, you seem to be saying you have in good authority that she has never worked for the CDC; Yes?

no, that is not what I or anyone else said. she did the EIS program.

you have a hard time following the discussion...

@TheRuddSki

I prefer raving lunatics to quietly simmering psychopaths, if only because they are easier to identify.

I'm a big fan of loons, tho.

@TheCredibleHulk

Dunno who's simmering but I have heard Hillary bray like a mule.

Loons have a beautiful call, it's the Pileated Woodpecker that sounds like a democrat.

@TheRuddSki

I'm feeling generous, so I'm inclined to forgive your ignorance. I know it's hard to gauge the temp when you're sitting in the stew.

@TheCredibleHulk

I have no idea what you're talking about now, but I get the feeling that whatever position you're taking is the correct one.

@TheRuddSki

Just stick with that strategy and you can't go wrong.
