My facebook newsfeed is a massive trainwreck right now. I’m right outside of Atlanta and holy moly are people losing it over this. So far I’ve counted 7 links to various articles on quack medical websites about how Ebola is spread via “vaporization” ( I guess that means sneezing? I can’t bring myself to read those idiotic links), how Obama is allowing this so there’s a crisis and he can install himself as the next dictator (did we have one before that I missed?), how incompetent the CDC is and shouldn’t be trusted with ANYTHING, that this is a conspiracy to distract from the border crisis and last but not least, that this is really a secret operation to bring “illegals” into the country and release them once they herd them into the CDC building.

Our Fucking Media should really face some sort of penalty for ginning up this amount of fear in people. I have a friend who is dying of cancer and pneumonia in the hospital right now, I’m facing a huge financial crisis because my spouse fucked up royally a couple weeks ago and my dad has been in and out of the hospital for “something wrong with his heart” that no one can figure out and I frankly don’t have the strength for fucking stupid right now. Oh, and it’s our 21st anniversary today and we can’t celebrate it in any form because of the aforementioned spousal fuck up. I WISH I had the brain space to obsess over bullshit like this, because I can assure you I wouldn’t be obsessing over stupid shit. I am about to pack the dog and myself into the car, head West and tell everyone to bite me. GAH!!!
