His Ebola response is one of those things that he'll never get any credit for, and won't get him on Greatest Presidents lists, but make me happy Obama's president. Christ, can you imagine Mittens handling it? He'd retreat to his beachside car elevator and nuke the rest of the country from orbit, just to be sure.

On this Remembrance Day, it's important to remember the politicians who sacrificed nothing to save Our Freedumbs from the threat they correctly thought would scare the already-terrified rubes.

Thank you for your self-service, you awful pandering dickweeds.

Yeah, good luck with that. The Stupidity Virus is spreading faster than Ebola, whooping cough, dengue fever, typhoid, flu, and chicken pox combined. We will never be free of this virulent disease.

There's a perfectly logical reason - all the stores didn't want the Ebola panic cutting into Christmas shopping season, so they told the media to knock it off.

I'd like to think the rubes are taking a long hard look at themselves and feel bad that they let themselves get so worked up over something so unsupported by evidence. I'd like to think that, but I am not actually thinking it.

You could print up copies of this article on reams of dead trees, then rub each and every one of their noses in it like housebreaking a puppy- and they still wouldn't see themselves as the fools that they were and would continue to believe that Bamz failed them somehow. Fear based programming is extraordinarily powerful.

Again, you repeat yourself.
