Annoy a conservative....Think for yourself
In other words every positive MUST include a reference to a negative.

Two things Republicans should never, ever attempt: (1) Humor, (2) Governing.

Maybe they shared a rolled up dollar bill.
It's really time for you to be relieved of your protected status.

Ebola Help for Sierra Leone Is Nearby, but Delayed on the Docks
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/06/w...bola-medical-supplies-delayed-docks.html?_r=1
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — It has been sitting idly on the docks for nearly two months: a shipping container packed with protective gowns, gloves, stretchers, mattresses and other medical supplies needed to help fight Sierra Leone’s exploding Ebola epidemic.
There are 100 bags and boxes of hospital linens, 100 cases of protective suits, 80 cases of face masks and other items — in all, more than $140,000 worth of medical equipment locked inside a dented container at the port since Aug. 9.
In the case of the shipping container, the desperately needed supplies seem to have been caught, at least in part, in a trap that is common the world over: politics, money and power.
“It’s a mess,” said one foreign official working alongside the Sierra Leone government agency set up to deal with the crisis. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to maintain vital relations with the government, said that nobody appeared to be in charge at the agency, known as the “emergency operations center,” and that different factions made decisions independently.

This is one of the sad facts of dealing with most countries in Africa. Corruption is a way of life and normal for them. If you don't grease the right palms, nothing will get done. I experienced this myself in Ethiopia.

Actually the US is just better at hiding it.

No, it's just not acceptable standard behavior. That's why when people are caught they go to jail.

So, what did she do....cross her fingers when she agreed to a voluntary quarrantine? She's a doctor, she should know better.
We reported that there had been a violation of the quarantine, but there hadn’t been a report before on who violated it. The man she sent inside the restaurant to get food was also part of the crew under quarantine.
Via NY Post:
An NBC News crew was ordered under mandatory quarantine for possible Ebola infection after the network’s chief medical correspondent was allegedly spotted on a food run to a New Jersey restaurant, according to a report.
Dr. Nancy Snyderman and her crew had agreed to a voluntary quarantine when they returned to the United States from West Africa last week following their exposure to a cameraman who contracted the deadly virus.
But Snyderman, who lives in Princeton, NJ, was spotted outside the Peasant Grill in nearby Hopewell on Thursday afternoon, according to Planet Princeton. Snyderman, who was wearing sunglasses and had her long hair pulled back, waited while a man went inside the eatery to pick up a takeout order, Planet reported.
Another man was sitting in the back seat, according to the local news blog.
A spokeswoman for the New Jersey Department of Health said there was no need to decontaminate the restaurant or warn anyone who was inside because the CDC says people without Ebola symptoms aren’t contagious.
“The NBC crew remains symptom-free, so there is no reason for concern of exposure to the community,” spokeswoman Dawn Thomas said.
The incubation period after exposure to Ebola can last 21 days, and the mandatory quarantine order runs until Oct. 22.
Snyderman did not immediately return a call seeking comment. An NBC spokeswoman declined to comment.
Ebola-stricken cameraman Ashoka Mukpo is being treated in Nebraska.
