Ohio Turns to Feds for Help in Battle Against Bedbugs
.
For reasons still unknown, bedbugs really seem to like the state of Ohio. The problem is so dire in Cincinnati that some people with infested apartments have resorted to sleeping on the streets.
Cincinnati created a Bedbug Remediation Commission in 2007 and, like other local and national governments around the world, the city is trying to mobilize strategies to control infestations of the resilient insects, which can hide in almost any crack or crevice and can go a year or more without eating. On Aug. 10, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a consumer alert about off-label bedbug treatments, warning in particular of the dangers of using outdoor pesticides in homes. The Ohio Department of Agriculture has mounted a more unusual response to the crisis: it petitioned the EPA for an exemption to allow in-home use of propoxur, a pesticide and neurotoxin banned in the 1990s out of concern for its effects on children.
Although the EPA rejected Ohio's propoxur plea in June, the agency has scheduled an Aug. 18 meeting with state and municipal leaders to try to formulate an abatement strategy everyone can live with. Among the meeting's participants: representatives from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and, no joke, the Department of Defense.

The Department of Defense? WTF are they going to do? Nuke Ohio?
.
So, I'm guessing we all need to spray more often. And never, EVER sleep with anyone from Ohio.

QUOTABLE QUOTES
"It is no coincidence that those who imagine themselves so much wiser and nobler than the rest of us should be at the forefront of those who seek to erode constitutional restrictions on the arbitrary powers of government. How can our betters impose their superior wisdom and virtue on us, when the Constitution gets in the way at every turn, with all its provisions to safeguard a system based on a self-governing people? To get their way, the elites must erode or dismantle the Constitution, bit by bit, in one way or another. What that means is that they must dismantle America. This has been going on piecemeal over the years, but now we have an administration in Washington that circumvents the Constitution wholesale, with its laws passed so fast that the public cannot know what is in them..."

"...with its laws passed so fast that the public cannot know what is in them..."
Public hell, THEY don't know what's in them!
Some of "them" know what's in there. That's how those things get buried in there.
That's for sure Bill. "They" know exactly what they're doing, even if we don't. And the proof is that most of their Nazi-like laws and rules don't really kick-in until after the mid-terms, and after 2012. Why risk losing your power and control simply to be honest with the fools who put you in power.
This is what happens when a nation allows itself to become fat, lazy, and distracted by nonsense. They go from being We The People to We The Sheeple. Then they look to blame their corrupt, lying public officials for taking advantage of them, when in fact, it's exactly what they've allowed to happen. Apparently, fools don't like being shown that they're fools.

We have a lot of idiots from Ohio (mostly Cleveland) who vacation here. Just another reason to want them to go home and stay there!!
