  2. Everything you know about the Black Death is wrong, say the bones.
    London scientists who’d studied 25 skeletons discovered in a new rail line said everything we’d thought about the bubonic plague — what caused it, what kind of disease it was, its strength — was wrong. Most of the ensuing coverage focused on the finding that the disease wasn’t likely spread by rats’ fleas, as has been taught in every high school in the West, but had actually been airborne.

  13. Ebola outbreak in Guinea unprecedented – MSF
    An official with Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) said the spread of the disease across the country made it very difficult to control.
    The West African state is facing a battle to contain the outbreak after cases were reported in areas that are hundreds of kilometres apart.
    Ebola is spread by close contact and kills between 25% and 90% of victims.
    “We are facing an epidemic of a magnitude never before seen in terms of the distribution of cases,” Mariano Lugli, a co-ordinator in Guinea for the aid group said.
    “This geographical spread is worrisome because it will greatly complicate the tasks of the organisations working to control the epidemic,” Mr Lugli added.

    The region should be placed under quarantine. Anyone who wants to can go in, nobody should be allowed out until this plague runs it’s course and there are no more cases.

  14. You heard it first from me some time ago, I reckon it was an attack on Diego Garcia but was shot down,

  15. O’narcissist’s Spin.
    “As pointed out in the previous post, president is engaged in circular evolutions; pivoting to Asia from the Middle East, then pivoting from Asia to Europe and pivoting from Europe to the Middle East. He is describing a complete circle. Now with North Korea causing trouble, he may be forced to pivot from the Europe to Asia again.”
    “In November, 2011 President Obama pledged to pivot to the Asia Pacific from the Middle East. Then on March 27, 2014 president Obama declared he would shift his focus from Europe to the Middle East. On March 28, Time Magazine announced: the Middle East matters most to Obama, not Putin. Then on March 30, 2014 the Hill reported that the US was shifting its focus from the Asia Pacific to Europe. So I guess Putin matters after all.”

  18. The Military Base Today, Diego Garcia
    In 2006, about 40 British and 1,000 U.S. military personnel, and 2,400 support workers of various nationalities (primarily Filipino and Sri Lankan) reside there. A number of al-Qaeda suspects are thought to be held and interrogated on the island (although the U.S. military will not confirm this),

    and not a single one of them reported a frigging football-field sized airplane land, taxi,
    with large red MALAYSIA written on its sides?

    “Five days of school closures as Atlantic Canada endures more winter”
    “HALIFAX — Storm-weary Atlantic Canadians are taking advantage of warming centres as freezing rain, strong winds and snow wreak havoc on power lines, leaving thousands of customers in the dark.
    The Red Cross says four warming centres are up and running in New Brunswick and P.E.I. as residents try to stay warm amid prolonged power outages.”

  23. That was my thought, too. Bob Beckel on ‘The Five’ tossed out that the U.S. has a military base on Diego Garcia Island and instantly he was silenced by the others on Fox, including Shep Smith. Beckel obviously didn’t get the memo.

  26. “The Silence of the Liberals
    Am I the only one or have you noticed your liberal friends and family have been strangely silent lately?
    I tweeted as much Friday and, given the number of retweets in a matter of minutes, I gather I am not alone.
    So why are these normally voluble people suddenly doing a disappearing act? (I’m not talking about the politicians and pundits. They’re being paid to move their mouths.) It’s pretty obvious.
    They are bewildered and embarrassed. Some are even ashamed of themselves, not that they will readily admit it. The man who was their hero has now been unmasked in every direction as the worst president since the Civil War and possibly earlier. Not only is he a cheesy liar, everything he has done, domestic and foreign, has failed, sometimes to extraordinary degrees. The domestic part is bad enough, but at least that might be reparable. The foreign is another matter. The world is spinning out of control. Who knows where that will end?
    Hence, the silence.”
