States Rights Medicine in Texas Doing What It Can for Ebola

A hospital official said the organization had 'dropped the ball' when it released a patient with Ebola into the general public in Dallas, one of the biggest cities in the country.  (CNN:  Hospital 'dropped the ball' with Ebola patient's travel history, NIH official says)

'Dropping the ball' is a term from baseball and it means a man will get on base and your team will be charged with an error.  Perhaps it's my distorted left wing thinking that differentiates this from releasing an uncontrolled deadly virus into a large population of vulnerable people.

Texas is on the forefront of a fake fight against the Fed regarding the Affordable Care Act.  It costs the people of the State of Texas a lot of money as they have to pay for that which they would have got for free.

Previously that type of mindless Rick Perry conservatism just gave you bad economics.  Now it gives you Ebola.  Have a nice day ... y'all.


Here's the beauty part:  the same patient presented three days later and was then admitted ... to the same hospital that screwed things up in the first place.


There was The Peter Principle about rising to your level of incompetence in an organization and now there is The Perry Principle about rising to your level of incompetence in a country.  Of course he will run for President as The Perry Principle mandates anyone that deficient in any useful skills would not be able to do anything else.
