surgeon general needed

I can't help thinking this ebola situation would be less confusing if we had a Surgeon General. No need for an ebola information czar. Once again congressional gridlock can be thanked.

Hi traveler: Here's my view...

There are 55 Democrats in the Senate. Since Majority Leader Harry Reid changed the rules to kill filibusters for nominations, it would take just 51 votes to confirm Murthy. Democrats could do it all by themselves, even if every Republican opposed. But Democrats have not confirmed Murthy.

That's the Washington Examiner's view too.

Or at least somebody who actually is in the medical field, not some politician. ${#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}$

He couldn't do worse than the clowns who are in charge of this debacle.

Speaking of our new ebola czar, if he has spoken recently regarding this crisis - or ever - I have missed it.

1 death in the US due to a profoundly incompetent hospital.
