WMD Opens Its Mouth
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has once again emerged to warn Americans that ours is a very scary world, one that demands “a strong leader” who won’t hesitate to waterboard terrorism suspects and perhaps invade a few countries to make a point about American might.
Of course Saddam had WMDs stupid! He just didn't use them because his evil master plan was to get killed. Duh.- John Fugelsang

Wall Street Has Ebola Fever
Very, very early this morning the Texas Department of State Health Services confirmed a second health care worker has been diagnosed with Ebola. The news sent shivers down the spine of markets still trying to find a footing after the recent pole-axing to stocks around the world. Futures took a slight dip around the time the story hit the newswires but let’s be honest, just about anything could take two or three points out of the futures given the restive state of investors these days.

I'd rather be safe than sorry. I perused through ebay's computer section and found everything from an inexpensive tablet to high end laptops that I wouldn't have a need for! The prices below are in colones. 50,000 colones is around $100 US dollars.
