Finally some level headed reporting on Ebola from....Fox News?

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

“We don’t have an outbreak,” Smith said. “We have two sick people from one dying man. And the rest of this should stop, because it’s not productive. And it’s not worth ratings, and it’s not worth politics, and we all need to stop it.” 

You know I recently slammed Shep Smith for his histrionics over ISIS and claims that the other Muslim countries would not work with the US to fight them.

However on this topic he is by far the voice of reason.

I usually watch MSNBC, and not only is Chris Matthews constantly pulling his hair out over this, I also watched a clip during Chris Hayes show where they followed an ambulance containing an Ebola victim with a helicopter. 

Shades of OJ Batman, that is ridiculous!

We have been documenting Ebola outbreaks since 1976, and yes this might be the biggest one so far, but there are still far fewer deaths than can be attributed to the common flu each year.

Remember when the AIDS epidemic had some suggesting the rounding up of homosexuals, testing them for HIV and then isolating them from the rest of the population?

Same out of control hysteria this time around. And of course it is driven in no small way by the politics of fear.

And we all know which political party that favors.

Humorously edited interview between Greta Van Susteren and Todd Palin from 2008. Oh, this is good!

Greta: "Whenever I say, 'Hey do you know the First Dude' they all start laughing."

Do you know what makes ME laugh?

That she thought this meant that Alaskans loved Todd. They were laughing because they knew he and his wife were a joke.

I had NOT seen this video from 2008 before, and I am embarrassed I missed it because it is awesome!

Watching Greta slobber all over Todd is stomach churning, and you can almost see her journalistic credibility falling away as she kisses his ass during the interview as if she  REALLY believes he is destined to someday live in the White House along with that hateful screechy wife of his.

I like how she phrases her questions as if she is talking to a small  mentally challenged child. "Did you see the President? That must have been fun."

Boy I'm so glad the world didn't end so that I had the chance to share this with you.

Fuck the Mayans anyway. If they really want to see a world coming to an end they should camp out around the Palin compound and watch the canned food devastation that occurs if Snowdrift Snooki doesn't get her Fox News contract renewed.

THAT might put the whole idea of an apocalypse in perspective for them.

(Belated H/T to Wonkette.)

Picture of President Obama terrified over debate challenge from Sarah Palin.

Oh yeah, I am going to have a LOT of fun with this picture.

The idea of Palin debating Obama actually did make ME laugh so hard that I was wiping tears away as I read her Facebook challenge the other day.

If ever anybody had ANY doubt that she was suffering from a mental illness, THAT should have put those doubts to rest.
