Dear Diary: I hugged an Ebola patient today -- I was assured by my Ebola czar that the patient had fully recovered and was of no danger to anyone any more. But it took some nerve, on my part, I can tell you. I have since been on constant alert for the slightest suggestion of nausea, fever or diarrhea. Thank goodness I do not have to take the subway, like the common folk. Barack the Brave...I really like that moniker. But enough about me.
