Our wings are not tired.

JFC, I am so over this fucking nation freaking the fuck out over Ebola.

And all the talking heads now saying that it is going to skew the elections to the Republicans because of the fear factor. And people around me don't get why I am so pissed off about people wanting to be safe. If some of the idiots were in charge we would have internment camps.

I know a few doctors and nurses that travel afar to donate their services on a regular basis. So far as I know they have not gone to the Ebola areas. The doctors here tend to visit South American countries. They aren't spending their vacations in luxury resorts. They live in scary conditions in scary countries out of a sense of responsibility and giving back. To punish these caregivers does infuriate me. They are the last people that are going to do anything to infect strangers.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If I have to read another "BREAKING NEWS! AMERICAN PATIENT 3486 ALSO DOESN'T HAVE EBOLA!" headline, I may have to turn it into a drinking game.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Actually, staying drunk through the elections and until the panic goes away (or, actually, shifts to something else) sounds like a dandy idea to me.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Can we somehow convince the Ted Cruzes that their holy auras will protect them from getting Ebola and they should go to West Africa to punch it in the face at once?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Things I have today that I did not have yesterday, a not exhaustive list:

lunch
a coffee cup
pockets
emergency chocolate

Oh dear lord. People on the other side of by cube wall talking about what a scam flu shots are. At least they aren't discussing Ebola or vaccines, I guess.

Well, not childhood vaccines anyway.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's funny how surprised I was that everyone in my office called it a "flu vaccine." Because of course that's what it is, and many of them are medical professionals.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Heh. I call it a "flu shot" because I'm lazy, and one syllable saves me SO MUCH EFFORT compared to the 2 syllables of "vaccine." (But I know it's a vaccine, if that gets me any points.)

The conspiracy theories are totally different.
