Okay, let's get the awesome art I stole a few months ago out of the way since it is only tangentially relevant...
Now that there are multiple Ebola cases here originating with a traveler from Liberia, it appears that neither President Minderbinder nor the NIH ever thought to restrict travel from countries experiencing an epidemic of a highly infectious, hemorrhagic fever virus with a 70 percent mortality rate. Such restrictions would, of course, be !!!racist!!! because Ebola is an African disease. Even though quarantines and travel restrictions could be put in place to protect the lives of the Africans, South Americans, Asians, Canucks, EUnuchs and, oh yeah, US Citizens already here, it would still be called racist--probably by the Simpleton In Chief himself.
Anyway, that led me to another thought--what about the airlines. After the Lockerbie bombing, Pan Am disappeared under the weight of insurance and wrongful death claims. What is the airlines' exposure (see what I did there) on being a willing fatal disease vector?
Of course, if they were to land their next cargo of contagion in DC instead of Dallas...say in late November during the lame-duck session...they might eliminate the treat of prosecution...not to mention the other diseases festering in that swamp.
UPDATE: With schoolkids being infected and no one being quarantined, our status has been upgraded to #MostlyFucked:

Well, the CDC spokesmen Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine and Dr. Howard said there's nothing to worry about, so I feel safe.
"After the Lockerbie bombing, Pan Am disappeared under the weight of insurance and wrongful death claims. What is the airlines' exposure (the legal kind) on being a willing fatal disease vector?"
Not a problem; we'll just nationalize the airlines. That's always worked so well before, hasn't it?
Looks like another case has been found in Dallas - one of the family members.
Additionally, 4-5 kids (also family) were in CLOSE contact with victim #1 - and then went to school.
Dallas (and the US) could already be truly f***ed, and not know it.
AH, so the plan is to kill off all those pesky conservatives in Texas and give it to the reconquistas--who will vote Socialist.
They're not stupid, just evil.
I think that our status has been downgraded to #TotallyFucked .....
That "Thing" clip is just screaming for a "Bert" comment - but I'm drawing a complete blank.
Something to do with Ebola ...?
Coach class?
Honky whites ?
Cats Cradle?
I live in New Zealand. What ya gonna do? As I understand it, there are no direct flights between Ebola and Auckland.
