Government to unleash killer wasps

Whose not-so-brilliant idea is this?

When I read about this, I knew it had to be the work of some Bush holdover who doesn't understand science. For one thing, it takes a Republican to come up with such a silly idea. For another, this is a bit like the government's plan to engineer a corn famine that surfaced right after the elder Bush left office (which was devised by a Bush crony).

Also like the corn proposal, this idea is being presented as necessary and is largely treated by the media as if it is no big deal. (Incidentally, there has been a corn shortfall, which contributed to last year's stagflation. So it was right on cue!)

Now the government plans to release killer wasps on the Mexican border. The stated purpose of the wasps is to kill weeds that shield drug smugglers and illegal immigrants sneaking into the country.

Really??? They need wasps for this???

If some poor farmer in Texas gets stung by a swarm of killer wasps released by the government, what are people going to say then?

Bush's Department of Homeland Stupidity wanted to use a herbicide to kill the weeds, but Mexican officials raised such an uproar that the Obama administration put the brakes on that potentially dangerous plan.

The same needs to be done with this proposal.
