CDC Director refuses to say whether Ebola can be transmitted by cough or sneeze. CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta asks him three times and he refuses to answer, hiding behind bureaucratic double talk each time.

British scientists to “fast-track” Global Warming evidence. They’ve created a new climate model that uses “estimates” rather than actual sea surface temperatures to prove the link between extreme weather events and Global Warming. Just what the world needed: another climate model using fictitious input to produce dubious outputs.

Biden overstates number of deaths in Joplin tornado. But give him credit for being close – he was only off by 160,839.

Dallas paramedic says “Bull crap!!!”

“All the people in the back of the ambulance 48 hours later before they finally took the ambulance out of service, none of them have been contacted. None of the paramedics that were on that shift and went in the ambulance were contacted. I’ve been off three days now. No one contacted me and I was in and drove that ambulance after it was infected. This is definitely a concern and exposed workers have not been contacted or tested… like me. I had to call into control in Dallas at 8 pm and complain to get evaluated. Three days after the fact, I had to demand exposure testing and they are reporting following up with all the people in the ambulance??? Bull crap!!! They haven’t even followed up with the ten firefighters that were on duty Sunday.”

U.S. District Court: IRS Obamacare rule is “arbitrary, capricious, and abuse of discretion.” What do you know, a judge who isn’t a member of the Communist Party.

Relax! the federal government has a plan to stop this Ebola thing. They printed up a flyer. And as of yesterday everyone flying in from West Africa gets one. So there! problem solved.

Netanyahu tells Obama to get his facts straight before opening his mouth. It’s a nice thought but we are not optimistic.

Fox News most-watched cable channel. Not just the most-watched cable news channel – the most-watched cable channel period. That’s a first for a news channel.

Dallas parents pulling kids out of five schools linked to Ebola patient. Oh yeah, this is going well. After six years of Obama, Americans don’t trust the government to handle a broken water spigot, let alone the Ebola virus in their kids’ schools.

Kim Jong Un so fat he broke both ankles. Question: how does the dictator of a country where people regularly starve to death manage to get so fat the bones in his feet can’t handle the load? Answer: it’s communism in action, stupid.

Researchers discover inverse relationship between belief in science and belief in Global Warming. The researchers, and reporters at Scientific American, are twisting themselves into pretzels trying to explain why this is so. Occam’s Razor says go with the simplest explanation: the more people know about science, the less they believe in fairy tales.

National Geographic says bird watching is racist. No, they don’t mean that kind of bird watching.

Muslim asks loaded question, then wishes she hadn’t. The woman who answers has a foreign accent but we wish she was president.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson descends into Dan Rather territory. For years he has attributed to George Bush the following words after 9/11:

“Our God is the God who named the stars.”

Trouble is, nobody else on Planet Earth ever heard Bush say that, nor can anyone document him saying it. Added to various other things Tyson seems to have made up, it makes you wonder if the Cosmos star has a dependable connection with reality. Tyson’s response:

“I have explicit memory of those words being spoken by the President… Odd that nobody seems to be able to find the quote anywhere.”

Odd indeed.

Times takes two weeks to correct obvious falsehood. On September 11, on the subject of Obama’s military campaign against ISIS, they printed this on the front page:

“Unlike Mr. Bush in the Iraq war, Mr. Obama has sought to surround the United States with partners.”

In actual fact, Bush had 48 members of his international coalition – plus Congress and the UN – while Obama barely managed to scrape up 9 allies and ignored both Congress and the UN. On Tuesday, The Slimes finally got around to printing a correction.

Wait a minute… the uninsured rate is HIGHER? Hmm, that’s puzzling. Well, with climate science lower temperatures and more ice signify Global Warming so, in a similar vein, the higher uninsured rate probably means Obamacare is working.

Al Gore tries to quote Jesus. In an eerie coincidence, Gore was working his way toward a dramatic crescendo at Luke 12:56, getting louder and louder, and just as he tried to bellow “Ye hypocrite!” his microphone went out. Who says God doesn’t have a sense of humor?

TV reporter quits on-air with line Johnny Paycheck would love. We hope the entire team at MSNBC is inspired to follow suit.

Democrat candidate for governor of Kansas explains strip club incident. In 1998, when police conducted a drug raid on a club named Secrets, they found Paul Davis “in a somewhat compromising position… in a back room of the club.” But he can explain:

“I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

Another No Shit Sherlock moment brought to you by IHTM.

Ambushed in an Iraqi house, Navy SEAL was shot 27 times and hit with grenade shrapnel. Then he went to work. After killing the four al Qaeda terrorists who ambushed him, he cleared the rest of the house and walked back to the helicopter under his own power. Mission complete.

Scotland stays. Scotland stays in the UK so the UK will stay in the EU, simple as that. Probably not a good day for individual liberty.

Human Rights Council publishes hit list of Christians who oppose LGBT lifestyle. They even marked the list with black Xs and included mug shot-like drawings of the Christians targeted… you know, just in case someone didn’t understand this was a hit list.

State Dept. changed name of Benghazi compound so they could ignore security requirements. Instead of calling it a “consulate,” Undersecretary of State Patrick Kennedy labeled it a “special mission compound,” a term he “made up” to “avoid the OSPB security standards.”

60-year-old heart transplant patient claims 33-year-old nurse raped him. So why the lawsuit? Why ruin things for all the other heart transplant patients?

California bureaucrats fine small winery out of business. The winery’s crime? Offering a free class on wine-making and letting volunteers from the class help with the harvest and crush. THOU MUST NOT LET PEOPLE DO ANYTHING RESEMBLING WORK UNLESS THOU PAYETH THEM MINIMUM WAGE, sayeth the bureaucrats.
