In an ominous development Wednesday night, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued its highest level alert for a response to the Ebola crisis in West Africa, even as reports came in indicating that the crisis may now not be limited to West Africa. Centers for Disease Control Chief Tom Frieden posted on Twitter: “Ops Center moved to Level 1 response given the extension to Nigeria & the potential to affect many lives.” According to Doug Stanglin of USA Today, Level I means that increased staff and resources will be devoted to the outbreak. He also said it is the first time the agency has invoked its highest level alert since 2009, then over a deadly influenza outbreak. Meanwhile, reports come in indicating that a Nigerian nurse, who had treated the country’s first fatality from Ebola two weeks ago, has herself now died from the virus that has claimed 932 lives as of last night in the latest outbreak.

I have thought more about Ann Coulter's article since I first read it yesterday. On reflection, I think Ann Coulter was wrong. (I was initially more supportive of her.) However, I think Dr. Mohler is wrong when he asserts that, “some parts [off Ann Coulter's article] come very close to racism.” I don't think she was racist, she was just exhibiting her normal caustic (and sometimes ill-considered (to say the least) shtick./rwa

There is a difference between 'Narcissistic' and 'Altruistic'
Narcissistic is self-centered, 'it's all about me ', and getting noticed (Resident Obungler )
Altruistic is service to others , it's about helping others, helping mankind(ie: the Good Samaritan)

Coulter needs to be rejected on reflex at this point. A Mitch fan, and she dislikes Christians.

Narcissism is self-love. A doctor who would risk his own life to ease the suffering of others is not narcissistic. You may argue about the way he does it and his carelessness in executing disease protocol, but it is obscene to call him a narcissist. A columnist who loves to hear herself talk and needs to be controversial in order to get an audience is definitely a narcissist.

Her boneyard butt has jumped the shark!

Ann has been moving more and more against Christianity, and now she directs this at Evangelical Christians.

Ann seems to be floundering these last few years.

She’s gone full Randian.

I wonder why she didn’t include an attack on Mother Theresa?
