Aw, dude! Some of us were eating breakfast! Besides you beat me to correcting the cartoonists.

I figured that with modern air travel that Ebola or similar diseases would eventually make it over here. But I didn’t think jokes would be made about it. From what I’ve read of the epidemics in Africa, without prompt treatment the virus turns a body into a bloody sack full of more viruses. Where’s the humor in that? (sigh) No doubt somebody here will set me straight.

Tell that to Mr. Ramirez.

Ebola is something we really should be afraid of. It could easily be the modern black plague. It is highly contagious, very fatal and only a day away by air. It is one of the problems the Congress should be working to prevent rather than wasting time and money on law suits to smear the President. Of course, they are all going on vacation for five weeks now, not that anyone will really notice their absence.

I first read about Ebola through Laurie Garrett’s book, THE COMING PLAGUE. She recently contributed an opinion piece to CNN about the current Ebola situation:.http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/24/opinion/garrett-ebola/

I’m aware of what the virus does. I’ve read up on it several years ago. I just don’t need to look at it, especially over breakfast.

what a stupid cartoon…liberal compassion for those who are victims of the disease?

The only thing “ignorant” about the toon, sadly, is that it is understating the typical TEA party reaction, to anything negative on the planet. It’s ALL Obama’s fault!

Just a dumb cartoon. Let me get my 5-year-old to see if he can do better.
