Three quick links, no idea who they've been scrounged from.

An article about a disability columnist.

A page on what would happen if we all just disappeared. Highlights include two days later (subways in NYC totally flooded) and one year later (lice go extinct - bedbugs, as we all know, keep on trucking for another six months. Maybe longer - some people hypothesize that during their "disappearance" they'd really just switched to another host. I wouldn't put it past them).

And, today's personal favorite - "Clowns Kick KKK Ass!" WHITE FLOUR! WHITE FLOUR! (Actually, I prefer wheat, but the sentiment is still there.) WHITE FLOUR!!!!!

I found out where the bedbugs were hiding... at least some of them.

They were under the hemming on my mattress - you know, the part that sticks out? Join me in saying EWEWEWEWEWWWWWWW!

So yesterday I took some 409 and sprayed the little critters. They don't move that fast, and 409 really does kill them on contact, though this is not a good long-term plan. It was the most fun I've had all week! Very satisfying, spraying them and watching them go into their death throes. I mean, now my mattress has corpses all over it (haven't vacuumed yet, doing that tonight) and it smells faintly of 409, which is sure to be toxic, but still.

With that said, lookylookylookyhere! I can get a bedbug stuffed animal! COOOOOOOOOL! It's much too pink, they seem browner to me, but whatever. I so want one to commemorate the experience.

A judge struck down a law (?) banning same-sex marriage

This wouldn't really be news, except that said judge is from Iowa.
