The far right wackjobs and the bleeding heart liberals show up to blame it all on the other side and the conspiracy kooks blame it on the bankers and the powers that be. The story from last week now all forgotten, who cares if they ever find out what happened to Flight MH370 there's a guy in NYC who rode the subway and went bowling with Ebola didn't you hear?!?!
