Augh!

Augh! Futile ragey gestures. They've appointed an ebola czar. Who's a political dude and a lawyer. Predictable, but I can hope, can't I? I mean, I get that sometimes you need a manager to coordinate things, but we have a Secretary of Health and Human Services and all that office's staff. We have a Surgeon General. Oh, no, wait, we don't. Guess why. I dare you. Congress loves us. That's ok, we probably have an Assistant Secretary for Health. We have a Director of the Centers for Disease Control; we have a Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. How bloody much bureaucracy do you want? You want to appoint an Ebola Task Force Director, who is on an equal footing with the above and reports to Sec'y HHS? Fine. Set up a bloody task force. Oh, wait. That's what you should be having the Sec'y of HHS do. Yes, it will need coordination, but isn't that part of the jobs of all those other people with titles? And could someone please explain that we don't need imperial titles thrown around meaninglessly? I hate that. Czar, my butt. If he was a czar, he could summarily have all those other people with titles executed and fiddle while he has Dallas burned, you know, out of an abundance of caution. |:(

P.S. Incoherent rage at all the congress critters using this for political gain. You horrible, hypocritical, manipulative, egomaniacal, self-centered, ignorant, ineffective, uninformed, poseurs. I may possibly be referring to specific individuals in particular.

P.P.S. Yes, the good news is they haven't placed this under homeland security. Yet.

P.P.P.S. I want lollipops and rainbow unicorns. And no dental caries. Because it just ruins the whole lollipop thing if it's populated by toothless unicorns.
