YES, LET'S PANIC ABOUT EBOLA. That way we won't have to panic about something far more dangerous in the long run.
OBAMA LOYALTY PAYS OFF: Keystone XL pipeline bill fails in Senate by single vote in blow to soon-to-be-former Sen. Mary Landrieu. Instapundit translates: she was underbussed.
INNOCENCE IS NOT A DEFENSE: Hang him now; we can try him later....
JON GRUBER: 'Seniors do a terrible job choosing' health care plans. Uh, Jon, did it ever occur to you that it might be you doing a terrible job of choosing health care plans?

From the Republican perspective, they need to make it clear that as a party they are not anti-immigration, they are for controlled immigration, and border security is the first step. The Washington Examiner has some suggestions.
EVEN IN BOSTON, Gruber's a goober.

Linked from the comments from Don Surber's post on Gruber and the 'credentialed class'.

Maybe that's why I was never called 'Dr.' -- insufficient arrogance.
A LESSON OUR 'RULERS' NEED TO LEARN: Just because you're a government agency doesn't mean you're above the law.
