    They will literally do anything for publicity, it seems. It's sad.

    Yeah I don't think it's a joke though.

    I thought this was a bit over the top.

    IMO - a fly is the most annoying insect that God put on this earth - just as the one is who keeps buzzing me as I sit here trying to type. I'm with Mr President on this one. Kill them all!!!

    Trap and release??? - oh please - spare me.

    Catch them all and express mail to PETA.

    Domestic flies are not only a nuisance by their presence, but are important from a human and animal health standpoint. House flies may spread diseases such as conjunctivitis, poliomyelitis, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, anthrax, leprosy, cholera, diarrhea and dysentery. They may serve as intermediate hosts for parasitic tapeworms on poultry or parasitic roundworms on horses. Certain larvae of blow flies, bottle flies, screwworm flies and flesh flies may feed on dead as well as living tissue of mammals, causing blood poisoning and even death, especially in sheep. Stable flies bite painfully, sucking blood from humans and animals.

    The thing that caught my eye was the fact he made no effort, not did his staff, to clean his hands afterwards.

    I noticed that too.

    The PETA thing was just plain stupid. No wonder people don't take them seriously.

    I've heard that tics and centipedes (thousand leggers) can withstand an atomic blast (not that I'd want to witness to that kind of test ).

    I was amazed how fast the Prez was at swatting that sucker! I can spend an hour tracking one down. My John can get them in mid flight. Ick! Ick! Ick! They're disgusting.



    I've been Boooo'd!

    They're kidding right? They should focus on more important things.
