Creativity was on display and current events were on marchers’ minds as a costumed crowd of thousands flowed up Sixth Avenue on a windy Halloween night.
Dr. Jane Testa sported a ‘hammer out Ebola’ costume featuring a hazmat suit, flashing lights, a large version of the virus – made of balloons – and a sign with a biohazard symbol and the message: ‘Quarantine: Ebola outbreak. Deadly force may be used.’
‘Don’t get too close!’ Testa warned, holding a balloon hammer with a red cross.[su_csky_ad]

Halloween is the best time to deal with fears and put things in perspective, so good going.

Last of all 7 US treated Ebola patients condition upgraded to “Stable” “based on our patient’s clinical progress and response to treatment,” according to a statement by the city’s Health and Hospitals Corporation.

I suppose costumes of politicians spewing Ebola nonsense would have been too subtle.

Before the Republicans turned bat shit insane, I didn’t take voting very seriously. This midterm election, I voted early. The GOP is doomed.

I did too. The clerk told me that they’d had a LOT more people voting early this year.
