Apple’s Tim Cook Says That He Is ‘Proud to Be Gay


Hustle
An American nurse returns from Sierra Leone after treating Ebola patients. She did that on her vacation. We are proud of her. After she lands at Newark Airport she is hustled into quarantine. She is greatly shocked and indignant, loudly protests in the media. Her rights are being violated, her treatment is “inhumane.” By that she perhaps meant uncomfortable—a tent, paper scrubs, no shower. It was all on-the-fly and disorganized, a state scrambling to do what the federal government would not.

The nurse got sprung and is currently in Maine, refusing quarantine, threatening legal action, and gaily bicycling past media scrums. I see a future in politics. (Peggy Noonan, Wall Street Journal, 10/31/2014)

Great summary from Noonan about America's most self-centered nurse. Funny line about the "future in politics" but not less likely to happen if only because there are no clear lines between the parties on Ebola. Don't kid yourself, however, Dems would love to turn her into the next Sandra ('please pay for my birth control') Fluke.
