<i>the common sense of an early-20th-century immigrant Irish chambermaid!</i>
Actually, an Irish immigrant could only wish to aspire to airy heights of chambermaid who were usually French or English in the rigid &quot;Downstairs&quot; hierarchy of the Gilded Age. (since they got to mingle with the &quot;Upstairs&quot; swells in their daily duties.)
It&#039;s more likely that Peg&#039;s Aunt Mary was sealed away unseen in the bowels of the kitchen as a scullery maid. Doomed to spend her days elbows-deep in dishwater and vegetable peels.
What is wrong with these so-called scientists and health care professionals? Why don&#039;t they respect our Constitutional right to decide science by popular vote? If 80% of the <i>people</i> in some poll say that someone who raises African violets can give everyone else the Ebola just by looking at them, isn&#039;t that sufficient to declare it a fact? When it comes to deciding on a medically appropriate course of treatment, doesn&#039;t public opinion matter <i>at all</i> anymore?
My dead relatives are smarter Peggy&#039;s dead relatives. They had the good sense to arrive here in the 1630&#039;s and avoid all that &quot;check them for disease&quot; silliness. Founded several New England towns and Harvard while they were at it.
&quot;America&rsquo;s &ldquo;professionals&rdquo; in the scientific and medical communities, and certainly those in the White House, seem deeply uninterested in the views of common people.&quot;
I miss the days when that was regarded as a patently sensible way to run the country.

This here is about the right level of indignation. And it&#039;s much more comprehensible than my own effort, which is:
PEGGY NOONAN! Fuck yourself, you fucking piece of fuck!
If true, I like this story a lot.
And people say they hate the Eagles.
No argument here!

Top THAT you gin soaked parvenu!
Oh Sister Peggy Noonan, of Our Lady of the Gin-Soaked Ebolanado, you are just priceless!
Once she finished the Nyquil, she washed it down with Bolla wine, for irony.

No problem: Peggles has mimosas for breakfast.
George Dumbya Bush?
SDI would be protecting us now if it wasn&#039;t for those politicized experts.
Barney Fyfe?
Because when one wants rational, sensible medical policy we must turn to the people who consider WebMD more qualified than the head of the CDC.
