My first thought was, "This was Nina Pham." Nope, this was Thomas Eric Duncan who would die from the disease. Nina Pham was a nurse at the hospital who ended up with Ebola after treating him.
- From Friday:
- Over the last couple of years a relatively mild hurricane will make landfall with little damage, but then cause much more destruction hundreds of miles inland because of the rain they produce. That use not to happen. In this case, Tennessee and North Carolina suffered far worse than Florida.
- Israel continues to be very aggressive and had a major success on Saturday:
- 60 Minutes' Ed Bradley interviewed that guy 20 years ago:
- Stuff in the air and not:
- This was an overly excitable headline on Friday. There was only one package of medical waste which had its outer cardboard exterior damaged but it's inside safety packaging was intact.
- Now that's a legitimate headline from yesterday.
- A Fort Worth officer has a hot opinion about the Tarrant County D.A.'s office: "All you’re doing is telling the citizens of Fort Worth: kill an eyewitness and you’ll get away with something. Fifteen years is a joke for the murder itself,", Detective Thomas O’Brien said.
- This happened and Friday, and all we know is what's in the headline.
- DPS originally referred to the person who struck him as an intoxicated driver, but there is no reference to that in the press release announcing this sad news.
- NEW YORK (AP) — A paralegal at a New York City district attorney’s office has been arrested after he attempted to make an explosive to bomb a migrant shelter located across from his apartment, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday.
- The Business Second™: There is a major strike beginning tomorrow which could be a major headache -- especially for Christmas.
- The AP voters fell out of love with the Evil Empire over the weekend.
- The baseball season is over except for the Mets (88-72) and Braves (88-72) who will play a doubleheader today because of two previously rained out games. If they split, they both end up in the playoffs, and the Diamondbacks, who will be watching intently, are out. If either wins both, that winner will obviously be in but the Diamondbacks would get in over today's two game loser. But since the only way the Diamondbacks get in is if the Mets win both or the Braves win both, the Mets and Braves could each guarantee themselves a spot in the playoffs right now by not playing and each agreeing to forfeit one game each today. I'd do it.
