Under Obamacare,
some folks probably don't even know where to go for a fresh change of bandages,
though, in the case pictured here it's likely too late to worry
about an infection.. The good news? Fortunately, if you like your mummy you can keep your mummy.
There's
a
creepy
little scene in the original movie, Fright
Night when the vampire portrayed by
Chris Sarandon, poised rather casually, yet threateningly on a staircase,
announces to his intended victims who have just entered a house consumed by
evil, "Welcome to fright night -- for real." He, of course, alludes to a local TV show of
the same name which features old horror movies starring and hosted by a
washed-up movie actor who has reluctantly come to destroy a real vampire, as
life suddenly imitates art, albeit satirically.
As the year
begins to draw to a close, we're all starring in a Fright Night, version 2014, slapped
with the realization that Ebola no longer dwells in places most of us couldn't
care less about. It's October, and instead of just propping up the pumpkins and
shaking down total strangers for treats or tricks of previously unimaginable
depths, we're aware that viral monsters have invaded our shores -- and if Ebola
weren't enough, a proven child-killing enterovirus has come to the USA to marry
shock value. Fright night for real.
Last Halloween I
wrote a story for the blog, but the way this year's going I don't know that I
could throw in any literary creep-outs to rival reality, and haven't
tried. The dedicated folks who proudly
wear the Middle Eastern ISIS label are single-handedly doing head counts by
chopping first and counting later, while our Southern borders remain open to
both the winds and whim of what appears the criminally negligent Obama bunch. What has crawled into our country so far is a
plague unto itself, with the worst perhaps yet to come.
Not to forget,
we in the U.S. still have a Marine trapped in a Mexican prison for several
months now, and our patience has run out as Mexico plays this one out to the
max. Under real national leadership, I
suspect our Marine would be home now, even if accomplishing this goal meant
storming the prison. The Mexican people
are good people overall, but the Mexican government and all of its less than
virtuous tentacles are not our friends.
Meanwhile,
teachers across the country have been enslaved by this Administration to
welcome, accept and teach border-jumpers from Central America, who speak not a
word of English and, in many cases, were already profoundly illiterate as they
were "encouraged" to flee their own countries. And they're bringing diseases, some of them
forgotten artifacts from years gone by, killer illnesses we thought extinct, or
nearly so, in our country. Where are the
teachers' unions - out pimping for Common
Core? Without quick action, America's future (we're
observing it as a society already) is a nation composed of illiterate, common
senseless dumb-asses, the only benefit being a sharp increase in sports
enthusiasts who purchase ridiculously overpriced and generously taxed team
memorabilia, while wolfing down beer, pizza and wings by the ton, energized and
soothed by the melodic sounds of their own
team spirit farts, but have no clue about or interest in knowing
the names of congressional representatives.
An additional
thought about Ebola: Hospitals across
this country wouldn't have to worry about the proper care & feeding of
Ebola victims, and medical staff wouldn't find themselves in near-panic or
ready-to-go mode if this damnable Administration had done the wise thing that
other countries have accomplished merely by cutting off flights from affected
countries. Don't tell us it can't be
done or shouldn't be done -- the Obama bunch has whipped the U.S. medical
community into an unnecessary frenzy through its own incompetency, and
agenda-driven actions which have almost without question resulted in the deaths
of children because an aggressive Central American enterovirus was allowed to
cross our borders via human "infection mules," the Trojan horse for
our age. Prison cells beckon and crave
White House communists for fair and just occupancy.
Yes, there's
plenty to be scared about. Fright
Night for real, sans vampires. Also. . .
On the UFO front, having had an
interest in the subject and being an Air Force veteran myself, I remain
profoundly disturbed about two former USAF airmen, reportedly involved with
close-up encounters in the Bentwaters (Rendlesham Forest) UFO incident of
December, 1980 in England. Neither of these
gentleman has been able to access his complete Air Force medical records via
the Veterans Administration, even with the help of U.S. senators,
including Sen. John McCain and the
civilian legal process itself. Yes,
there are times when national security dictates the withholding of documents,
but the Bentwaters air base incidents appear to be a whole different and
extremely bizarre critter than what one anticipates when national security
restrictions pop up. The fact that Great
Britain recently "discovered" that there are more UFO files to be
released to the public, after assuring one and all that the closet was empty,
may result in more information on the Bentwaters case, but past experience
demonstrates that the "good stuff" seldom materializes to dance
seductively under the public spotlight when government censors have their way.
So this is my
Halloween message this year, no weird stories, no black cats, no tricks and
definitely no treats. The night falls on
a Friday this year, thus guaranteed to qualify some neighborhoods for a
three-day weekend of hell-raising by those tending to be mischievous beyond
measure. A safe Halloween to everybody,
good luck to all the black cats and other animals who suffer the night's
idiots, and beware of Executive Marxist Orders that go bump in the night. Or in the day.
