A friend of mine lives on the river in Virginia across from this island. He and his son spend most of their free time boating, fishing and swimming on this area of the Potomac. For the past year he has been complaining about the migrant worker from the turf farm trashing the river with beer cans and garbage.
We were talking this afternoon and he asked me “How do you think the mosquitoes on this little island got infected with malaria?” “Do ya think the immigrants brought it up with them from South America?”

I'd more bet on So Damn Insane or Bin Loon placing the mosquitos here through one of their sicko followers. < / tin foil hat now off >

"...crescent-shaped slice of Maryland."
Interesting.

I'm wondering where the heck all these swarming and biting orange ladybugs came from.
To: struwwelpeter
Here in the midwest those orange ladybugs have been coming out each October for years...Tons of them...I haven't seen a red ladybug in years.

Chris Matthews had malaria not too long ago. Maybe HE brought it up with him.

Clinton's environmental wackos imported them as a pest control agent. (You know how liberals hate chemicals and science.) The problem is that they have no natural predators here, so they keep multiplying and themselves have become a pest. At least that is what Hubby says and he is in a position to know.

So, I'll say it again, bring back the DDT.

We had a ton of those ladybugs last year. Haven't seen many this year though. Don't think I've ever been bit by one. I thought they only bugged aphids.

First thought...

What possible reason would there be to not spray insecticide? Do we need to file an environmental impact study first? Why do the authorities have to wait 48 hours?

The infected mosquitoes were found in two small pools of water on the island. Seems to me that just a couple of squirts from a sprayer with some DDT would solve the problem. I think mosquitoes only range around 1/2 mile.

Yes DDT needs to return. Clinton and his following of environwackos are terrorists.
