Patient
Reader!
Good Day . . . I am here on the edge
of my bed watching the Auburn/Mississippi State (debacle?) game. I’ll post a run-down of my observations at a
later time . . . I want to see how the
other games “play out . . .” (sorry) before I unload and opine.
I really want to talk about what the
fuck is going on in this mad mad mad mad world!
BBC tells me we (the US, that is)
can expect a “handful of Ebola cases in the upcoming months . . .”
Jesus Harold
Christ on a Rubber Fucking Crutch!
I
ranted on this bullshit last time! We
have known about this outbreak/epidemic since April . . . do we have to watch
it evolve into a pandemic, as well?
America. Home of the best medical
schools and medical sanitation practices in the world, and it looks like we are
not immune to our own outbreak of this obscure, easily preventable hemorrhagic
virus.
Easily preventable? Well, yeah.
We know it has a 21-day incubation period, and that no one is contagious
until symptoms appear, all that is needed is the quarantining of anyone who has
had contact with anyone who shows symptoms.
But no, we weren’t expecting this.
For some reason we are always so arrogant when it comes to our
vulnerability. I mean lookit:
Bush
got the CIA memo in 8-01 that was actually entitled, “Bin Laden Determined To Strike in
US.”
It was the President's Daily Brief prepared by
the Central Intelligence Agency and
given to U.S. President George W. Bush on Monday, August 6, 2001.
The
brief warned of terrorism threats from Osama
bin Laden and al-Qaeda 36 days before the September 11, 2001 attacks.
And I take that from the Wikipedia article to which I have provided a link above.
Did he heed that warning?
No, he was too busy playing golf
after executing ‘Murcans
while governor of Texas to worry about
what Clinton had warned him was the #1 security concern in the US at the time
(al Qaeda).
Here we are, 13 years later, and none the wiser. And I know I don’t need to explain the
analogous connections between War and Ebola.
But I’ll give it a fucking shot!
I Mean, look. All I am trying to get
at is that we have the ability to peer ahead in time simply because we as
humans can see an event and extrapolate from said event, thereby predicting
several possible scenarios from it.
War, for example:
War is something we as a species seem to excel
at, and though the technology has changed over time, the basics are still the
same. Why else is Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" still so applicable
today? Why does the U.S. Military
Academy (West Point) still teach the phylangic tactics learned at
Thermopylae? Because shit still works,
that's why.
For example, let's look at
surveillance and reconnaissance. If you know where the enemy is, you can
observe micro-movements, terrain, weather, and other factors and have a pretty
good guess at what they're planning next. Right?
So the World Health Organization
says hey, Ebola. And not only that, they
say hey, biggest Ebola ever, no kidding, thissun's a motherfucker.
But that's fucking West Africa for fuck’s sake. Thousands of miles away and inhabited only by
dark people and the white missionaries stupid enough to go over there and try
to help those heathen bastards find jesus.
Why the fuck do we want to give two shits to try and stop it?
Yeah, we didn’t factor in the fact
that this is not an isolationistic world anymore. We forgot that travel has made this planet a
very small place, how that in one hour you can be 500 miles away from where you
started. We forgot that viruses really
don’t give a fuck what color you are, or necessarily your current geographical
location. Hell, we forget that Americans
born since the seventies have never been vaccinated against smallpox! What would happen if someone got a hold of that delicious little bug?
“Preposterous!”
some of you may be saying. Oh?
There are only two samples of live-virus smallpox
left in the world (or so they tell us); Our CDC in Atlanta has one, and Russia
has the other . . . does that make you feel safe? Even though many kilograms of radioactive
materials, including plutonium, have turned up missing since the fall of the
Soviet Union?
Isis has millions of dollars. How much would they pay for some smallpox and
one of those plant misters you can get at Wally World? Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen . . . Smallpox can
aerosolize. Fuck’s Sake!
So remember, Patient Reader . . .
wash your hands. Hot, soapy water. Frequently.
What else
has my scrote in a twist?
I was
slightly bummed this morning because I thought that since my eggs were warm and
the half and half was not ice cold, my girlfriend had perhaps accidentally left
the fridge door slightly ajar. Something
told me to check the freezer and sure enough, the ice trays were full of water
and all of the meat thawed through.
So now
I am cooking all of the meat tonight, and drinking immense amounts of coffee
so I can burn through the cream like a newborn calf. I went out and bought a giant cooler and 40
lbs. of ice and put the salvageable perishables (?) in it. And I called it good.
I went
to fetch the cream and, since it was in a cardboard container, I feared the
melting ice would weaken the paper . . . y’all know what I’m saying.
So I
open up the fridge and it seems . . . different
in there . . . I realize
that the fridge is back on! What the
motherfug? The gods/universe/IS decided
I needed to spend the money on a 60 quart cooler and ice for no apparent reason
whatsoever? That ain’t right, Kemosabe.
I know, Patient Reader . . . no crisis, here. Just one of those annoying fucking things of many annoying fucking things that tend to pile up as the little straws on the backs of camels, you know?
Well, I bought the cooler and the ice . . .
so I might
as well use it, right? I’m keeping the
thawed meat chilled, at least before I need to
cook it, while I wait for the
fridge to get cold
again. Weird fucking
day.
Another
thing that has my balls scrunched:
Shallow
graves full of mostly students just outside Mexico City. Yeah, I know . . . pretty specific beef
there, Cunning Fennec Fox . . .
43
students last seen being pushed into police vans are suspected to be the bodies
that occupy these graves. What the
fuck? Do they think they’re in Portland,
Oregon, for chrissakes? The governor of
Guerrero, the state in which all of this took place, says that the police
turned the students over to a drug gang.
I don’t exactly see the connection, unless there isn’t any ad the cartel
wanted to throw a scare into the good people of Mexico, but all the same, it’s
a pretty fucked up thing to do all the way around.
Why
kidnap the kids in the first place, let alone selling (giving?) them to the
cartel? Makes no sense to me. Bizarre, even to me, Patient Reader.
The FBI
is all sucked up because Apple and Google plan on encrypting user email and
info so that not even they can read it.
There goes a big chunk of the Police State that the US is starting to
resemble!
And for
all of you stupid fucks who say stupid shit like, “Well, if you have nothing to
hide then it’s ok . . . I’d rather give up some freedoms than have Osama blow
up my whatever-the-fuck-fill-in-the-blank . . .” I say send me an email with all of your email accounts and
passwords. If you have nothing to hide
then you should have no problem doing so.
I promise not to do anything illegal with the information . . . You dense idiot shits. Fucking stupid Nazi Fascist FUCKS!
Not you of course, Patient Reader . . . I know that y'all are Humanist constitutionalists who appreciate that freedom is pure and untouchable.
Oh,
there’s much more to discuss, Patient Reader . . . I have to rant about the
Alaska cops who told some parents, erroneously as it turns out, that their son
was killed in a crash. Yeah. Fucking COPS!
How hard is it to verify the facts?
Same name . . . sure . . . but different dates of birth. That can tell you something, right? Maybe those guys had different SSNs . . .
maybe they had different driver’s license numbers? Different addresses, etc? I dunno . . . that’s just me. I would have looked a little further into the
matter than just the name. “Huh . . .
Justin Priest (real name and not that unusual
. . .) must be the only Justin Priest in North America. Look in the phone book and call his mom and
pop.
Yeah,
probably more on that later.
But while we are on the subject of Alaska, the Palins are at it again. House party in her redneck of the woods wherein punches were thrown by the drunk kids at other drunks, including Bristol who was face punching some other redneck, all the while a presumably drunk Sarah sat and watched. Check it out. Redneck bitches.
Baby
Doc Duvalier was buried today.
Baghdad
had another car bomb.
Oh, JFK airport
started Ebola screenings today . . . I know . . . I’ll touch on that subject
again, later.
Nude
Snapchat pics made it online.
Finally! Not enough naked people
online, s’what I say! To borrow a
headline from The Onion: “Porn-Saturated
Public Demands New Orifice to Stare At . . .” goddam I love that one . . .
On a lighter note, the London Zoo has
the Meerkat
Cam . . . check it out! I put the BBC
link here:
“Phones held by police remotely wiped . . .” I love that one, too. Here’s that link.
“Microsoft will respect Minecraft .
. .”
That’s awfully nice of them, don’tcha think?
So
many subjects, so little time, Patient Reader.
I suppose I should get this illustrated and posted and then call it good
for now. I’ll have another blast for
some unsuspecting dumbass, soon. So stay
tuned for that . . . it has been a while since I shat loudly on some Repubs . .
. surely it’s time for that?
Until
we meet again, Patient Reader, I shall remain,
The
Cunning Fennec Fox
