Gee, thanks a lot, you troll. I live in NYC, my apartment had bedbugs, and I am a friend and fellow traveller of Neo’s. And bedbugs are reappearing all over the country, and it would only be poetic justice if they appeared in your bed, in whatever smug conservative enclave you live in.

i’m glad that article appeared in the Times though, because it’s one more bit of evidence I can wave at my landlord if he tries to sue for the rent I am withholding.

You are right. A subsequent study, by Professor Gus (”Guess” to his friends) Nordheimer at Southern Vermont Tech found Ohrenschmalz’s study flawed. Unfortunately, Ohrenschmalz’s widow, after the Doktor’s untimely death in 1993 (are there “timely” deaths?) burnt his papers with the professor. “He spent so much time with those Wanzen (bedbugs), and that was no boost to our inmtimacy,” she said at the cremation.

The study is still referred to in a general way in the literature, but always with a note of caution.

Knowledge definitely is power, and it is a power that is very useful precisely because most people don’t realize who has it, and therefore are unwary of being manipulated.

They know the government has power, but do they know that the media has the same power? Do they know scientists and lawyers and billionares like Soros has the same power?

Perhaps not as widely as people know the government has power.

Which is the point. Know thy enemy and know thy self, but it is ultimately true that people who don’t know their enemies also won’t know themselves either. Which is very useful to some people.

On another point, the rich people in the West’s arrogant presumption that they know what is best for the poor peeps in the world, makes me sick, and it makes a lot of other people worse than sick, it makes them dead. Which is sort of convenient to the rich dudes I would presume. Less people taking up their precious oxygen and resources.

There are 2 ways powerful people treat their inferiors. The way they would like their superiors to treat them, with gifts, duties, jobs, and loyalty. And whatever they can get away with, through exploitation of the poor.

The progressive agenda of “not exploiting” the poor, is just another way of not giving them the tools to defend themself against the exploitations of the billionares that fund the progressives. The only way to not exploit the poor, is to make them rich, and nobody is getting rich in Africa except the dictators funded by European cowardice.

African nations without the technology, nuclear generators, and DDT required to stave off economic and human starvation, will be no threat to the self-appointed aristocracy of planet Earth.

Perhaps that is why they are so scared of Afghanistan and Iraq. It is the beginning of the end for the status quo, the status quo that dictated that third world nations will remain third world nations open for plundering by the U.N.

Indeed, in this brave new world of ours, be afraid, be very afraid of what the downtrodden will do to you once the United States has lifted them from out under your bootheels, my fellow Europeans and human fools in Arabia.

Christopher Hitchins knows that this is the new crusade, the new and true revolution. Few others can look past their fear to see the truth however.

In CA we are overrun by coyotes in urban areas and ants in our yards and houses. Every year some jogger is killed by a mountain lion and several other are maimed. The experts always say, but, we took their habitat, you know. It’s another variation of the “we deserved it” meme re 9/11.

If mag fields from HT wires were actually cancer forming, then the number of ex-children of the fifties with eye and brain cancers from watching the TV at 2 feet away would be pandemic.

Likewise, as you note about envirotoxins — if it were half as deadly to humans as they say it is, then the preponderance of them used in an earlier era would be producing results quite notable in this day and age.

> Speakin’ of infestation…can we spray DDT on liberals?

Yes, but it only sends them off on a rant. As mentioned above, it’s pretty much harmless. About the only way to kill a Useful Idiot with DDT is to drown them in it.

Not a bad idea, I’ll grant, but it’s rather direct and overt and thus generally frowned upon. The neighbors will talk.

If it was going to do me any great harm, I wouldn’t have lived to this nice respectable age.

The first entries are light and one is topical. Though I comment almost exclusively politically and socially here, my own blog will include language and history as well. I will soon start including my Underground DSM-IV, which includes diagnostic tricks you won’t learn in school.

I announced this over at Dr. Sanity as well, but not at every blog I frequent.
