To instill confidence in the program...

It must be nice to have the State-run Media on you side

Hey, I only use the MOST reliable sources such as the National Enquirer (Ha): http://www.nationalenquirer.co...

But the hype has been generated by the State-run Media, i.e. CBS, NBC, ABC, and CNN. Sure the other side (Drudge, Fox) is all hysterical, but it was the State-run Media that has caused the most panic and they did not need to say much, just that some simple facts and the public got very nervous. The fact that the Administration seems has issued a non-nonsensical justification for not shutting the borders from West Africans does not help or that they appointed an invisible political hack to be the Ebola Czar and the CDC does not seem to have its act together has fueled the fire.

Or it gets worse. It is entirely possible that the Administration is hiding cases of Ebola until after the election.

How about the passport? No matter how they try to get here, they still have to present that Liberian password at the border....sorry buddy... Sure the really, really determined could get in, but 99% would be stopped. If this was any other place except Africa then they politically correct crap would not be taking place. If, say, Ebola was rampant in Tonga, travel restriction would have be implemented long ago. The Administration is playing with out health for political reasons.....

until after the election. The Administration is trying to keep a lid on it, but watch out after the election

Idiotic, politically-correct statement from them. How would preventing Africans from coming to the US make the outbreak worse?

The Asteroid re-direct mission is a pork mission to push money for more pointless manned missions. Binzel is 100% correct; the money would be much better spent on robotic missions, but, alas, NASA is run by pilots and beholden to the manned mission lobby.

Travel restrictions are epidemiology 101, but politics gets in the way...

Good luck with that reifman...

Why are scientists obsessed with finding the most exotic explanation of Dark Matter without first exhausting the more prosaic explanations? It is Occam's Razor upside down. I think that the reason is there there is a Nobel Prize and fame if Dark Matter turns out to be a particle, but there is no glory if it turns out to be something more ordinary such as neutral hydrogen, dust, etc. Even a modification of Newtonian laws at a distance to explain Dark Matter is not exotic enough.....so we have to endure Crackpot Cosmology Theory (CCT) of the week from here to eternity...

It is part of the Obamcare package..[M. Savage] So did it really cost $500,000 to treat Patient 0?

And the term "Good" lawyer is an oxymoron.

Why?
