http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/10/12/ebola-scare-mongerer-rand-paul-wants-you-to-think-you-re-going-to-die.htmlAlthough Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed with Ebola on U.S. soil, has now died of the disease, American public health officials remain confident in our nations ability to prevent a widespread epidemic. The bottom line here is we know how to stop it, CDC director Tom Frieden told NBC News this weekend. It's not going to spread widely in the U.S., for two basic reasons.

Er, um, because the people dying of Ebola in West Africa are black? Im confused Anyway, I thought the reason not to let panic spread was because, you know, panic is bad and we should have a rational and informed public rather than an irrationally fearful one. But speaking of informed
