Bedbugs

[LiberalEsto]

Those disgusting creepy-crawly creatures are baaaack.

Not that they ever really went away.

They've been lurking in dark, filthy places, living on their disgusting fellow vermin, waiting for a chance to creep back into our bedrooms, batten on our bodies and suck our blood while we sleep.

Now they've come up with a new "Plague on America". They want to batten on the poor and the middle class more than ever before, and suck us bone dry. They want us to exist only as the slaves of their favorite bedfellows, the corporations and the rich. Basically, the rethug-bedbugs are in bed with the corporations, which help feed them with extra-large helpings of excess profits in the form of unchecked campaign contributions.

Time to swat 'em with rolled-up newspapers, and wash the bedding.

1. They're not joking about a REAL infestation.

I should know. We have them and there isn't fuckall we can do about it until we can afford to move and leave behind the vast majority of what we own. :shrug:

4. You can't escape bedbugs

People are even bringing home bedbugs in books from the library.Guests bring them to your house in their luggage. We need to legalize DDT again for a couple of years. Fuck the eagle's eggs.

2. Showed up in NYC around the same time Bloomberg did.

I *suppose* we're all supposed to think that's a coincidence!

3. Congress is loaded with them

and they're all in the beds of lobbyists!

It's terrible, I tell you! }(

5. Wonder if they would try borax or boric acid. I know the exterminator

companies would like to earn thousands of dollars for a house-cleaning.

7. It's a metaphor for Republicans...

It would be nice if there were exterminators for repukes too.

9. We should try boric acid on the republics, too (they are like roaches). nt

6. In the early days in this country, they set the bed legs in a

small container with kerosene in it. Bedbugs couldn't get to the bed through the kerosene. A person could probably do the same thing only put some raid in the container.

8. Nothing to joke about - a college

in Ga. infested. Kids sleeping in gym.
