And another poll on personal health care freedom: Should people be allowed to get faster health service if they pay out of pocket?
The last one went pretty well, if I do say so myself.

Why Is There Always A Big Screen TV?
Justice Gethin Edward of the Ontario Court of Justice suggested physicians essentially want to “impose our world view on First Nation culture.” The idea of a cancer treatment being judged on the basis of statistics that quantify patients’ five-year survival rate is “completely foreign” to aboriginal ways, he said.
“Even if we say there is not one child who has been cured of acute lymphoblastic leukemia by traditional methods, is that a reason to invoke child protection?” asked Justice Edward, noting that the girl’s mother believes she is doing what is best for her daughter.
“Are we to second guess her and say ‘You know what, we don’t care?’ … Maybe First Nations culture doesn’t require every child to be treated with chemotherapy and to survive for that culture to have value.”

It’s Probably Nothing
TRUST THE EXPERTS: “Obama’s new Ebola czar is a long-time Democratic operative and lobbyist with zero agency administrative experience.”
Ebola czar?
What’s particularly interesting about this discussion, then, is that nobody has even discussed the fact that the federal government not ten years ago created and funded a brand new office in the Health and Human Services Department specifically to coordinate preparation for and response to public health threats like Ebola. The woman who heads that office, and reports directly to the HHS secretary, has been mysteriously invisible from the public handling of this threat. And she’s still on the job even though three years ago she was embroiled in a huge scandal of funneling a major stream of funding to a company with ties to a Democratic donor–and away from a company that was developing a treatment now being used on Ebola patients.

It’s Probably Nothing
SO I’VE HEARD SOME SPECULATION that the reason Obama jumped on this issue all of a sudden is that they now expect the Ebola outbreak to get worse in the U.S. Ebola in the Big Apple? CDC tells NYC to get ready.
Possibly nothing, too.
Say It Isn’t So, Joe!
So Biden's son was given the boot from the Navy after one month and we find out 16 months later?
Great job, media.

“Since this article was written, Hollyhock has now deleted the tweet …”
Vancouver mayor Gregor Robertson has a close relationship with the charity, and was once on the board at Hollyhock Farms Ltd. Hollyhock’s main beneficiary TIDES Canada is also close to the mayor – their leadership have personally contributed to Robertson’s campaigns, TIDES USA raised the property value of the mayor’s Cortes Island home by purchasing 150 acres next-door. But, until yesterday, there has been no smoking gun about Hollyhock’s political activities.
Y2Kyoto: I’ll Miss The Gummy Bears
Arviat, Nunavut, is moving Halloween indoors this year because of the danger to trick-or-treating children from polar bears.
The bears have been coming into the community more in recent years, especially in the fall during freeze-up. That’s why the hamlet met with the public this week to discuss alternatives to trick or treating door-to-door.

The virus began to subside around mid-2009, when it slowly became obvious that the MSM had sacrificed their credibility to elect a false messiah. But as a dangerous aftereffect to Obama fever, the MSM quickly turned viciously on its readers, in the form of their unceasing racialist attacks on the Tea Party and anyone who dared oppose The One.
