Actually that guy hoped a plane in Liberia. Mexico actually has fewer Ebola cases than the US right now.

Is that why you rebelled? Cause you didn't want something weird like Washington the city not being in Washington the state?
Nahh, we came up with that foolishness long after we kicked the redcoats out.

What gets more fun is Washington University is in Missouri, while University of Washington is actually in Washington (the state).

"Hong Kong has for many years enjoyed peace and harmony. It now sees the emergence of this embarrassing chaos, and the root cause lies with a few people who are disrespecting the law."
Good to see laws are interpreted the same way in all corrupt countries by the ones in power.

An official truce in place in eastern Ukraine has often been violated.

The ceasefire was called on 5 September, but on Wednesday four people were killed by a shell which landed on a school in Donetsk, and six died when a minibus was hit.

A spokesman for what the Ukrainian government calls its anti-terrorist operation said Ukrainian forces repelled four attacks on the airport on Wednesday evening.
Can't wait to hear Russian tourists complain about why people outside Russia don't like Russia.

“I doubt this poll completely. There is no chance the difference given exists. The polls also perform a kind of propaganda. When you present such a big gap, people who may not know the details, might be affected. This is an attempt to impose propaganda. And of particular importance is that there is very large percentage of undecided voters”.
Yes, clearly we have a mature political class and our government is top notch. Then again the party that came on top in that poll won 26% in the EU elections and it thought that meant that the entire country wanted new elections and for them to govern right now, so I guess it's no coincidence we are in this mess.

The solution of "sterilize the continent of Africa from orbit" was thrown out for some sort of "human and animal rights" issue.

Ebola on a Plane

Can I catch it on a plane? Can I catch it over Spain?
Can I catch it from a book? Can I catch it from a Nook?
Can I catch it from airline nuts? Or those plastic drinking cups?
Can I catch it from my tray, or that fat guy in seat A?
I do not want Ebola, Sam.
I do not want it from a man.
Nor from a woman, see.
My blood should stay inside of me.
Will I catch it on the ground in the dear old Dallas town?
Will it spread on Texas land from no airport travel ban?
Will it linger, infect the crowd, 'til no one's left to make a sound?
Will my neighbors start to cough and puke and shit their blood right off?
