Adult males whose main hobby is playing video games are misogynistic?  This is considered news?

See my comment re:confirmation bias.

Is anyone getting paranoid about Eboooooooooooollllla yet?

Wearing a mask on the metro? Driving to work instead of using the metro? Avoiding very African looking people?

I've noticed a few masked riders already this week.

Random thoughts?

I'll start to worry when they stop reporting the names of the US victims, and just tell us the number of newly infected people.

I think Ebola is a Muslim terrorist plot to get non-Muslim women to wear those slit-only burkas.

Everyone now knows it is a form of population control, thanks to the bravery of Chris Brown!

My brother-in-law believes Ebola is a muslim plot too.

He also believes that Obama is intentionally letting ISIL advance because he (Obama) was raised in the muslim faith in Indonesia and fully supports the establishment of a strict islamic caliphate as prophesied in the Koran.  As proof, he notes that the airstrikes have been executed at night, have only attacked property, and have had no impact on ISIL's strength.  My brother-in-law also has a collection of guns, a trove of physical gold, and a few months' worth of bottled water and freeze-dried meals. 

Is his first name George, perchance?
