Okay let's call it for what it is Ebola has become the October surprise. Politicians are shaking

fear and using it to campaign on. NO I am not saying Mr. Duncan or Mr Spencer or Ms. Hickox where contracted by someone to cause all this BUT as all these things happened BUT politicians took advantage of the situation and used it to campaign on directly or indirectly.

Something is Irking me about the manhunt in PA.

yes, I am from PA and maybe I have no right getting irked or bring this up:

But this guy shot 2 state cops.... is basically acting like (in my mind ) a terrorist.


YET no military machines.... No forcing people to stay in there homes as they do a door to door search. ( yeah for the most part he was in the woods but times it seemed they tracked him near residential areas.)

He was taken alive.


However people in Ferguson peacefully protest and there is military type actions from the cops.

They search for the 2 20 year olds who set off the bomb in Boston. And it was Marshal law.


Strange how and when military force is used....

Am I really out of line asking these question?

My sister-in-law just texted my wife and told her what her daughters went as:


The younger girl went as a Zombie Baseball player... (Tomgirl/Tomboy who loves sports)

The oldest went as a nerd

and my wife text back: "Really? a nerd...she just had to make fun of me...





(sorry... zombie must have ate my brain tonight.)
