You know what is worse than WHO and CDC announcing an epidemic? When the same two organizations start saying

"Don't Worry- Be Happy"

Feeling fairly alarmed.

And then there was Benghazi................4 patriots slaughtered, one of them an Ambassador...

And that poor soldier /warrior locked up in a Mexican prison and tortured ! ..WHY ?...he took a wrong turn in the road at the border, signs are very unclear and they still haven't remedied the problem....his poor mother is on TV everyday begging /pleading w/the " President " to make that 1 PHONE CALL!...

All of this and the poor guy is being treated for PTSD....

I pray for him everyday....

WHO has decided that people may want to re-think their travel to West Africa...but stops short of issuing a travel ban...and Guinea after letting the genie out of the bottle has decided (after 5 1/2 months) that now it is a good time to secure/close their border...SERIOUSLY?

Just watching the show.

Well, I didn't vote for him, one can't expect a " community organizer " to be the leader of the greatest country in the world....it makes no sense...

This is the " fall-out " :roll:

Not political this morning...but saddened by the loss of Robin Williams. If the man who kept us laughing through some of our darkest hours fell into the abyss of Depression...what hope is there for the rest of us?

RIP 1951-2014
