Who had mosquitonado?

It’s cold. It’s remote. It’s Russia. To these strikes against living the good life there
McCarthyism never died in America, did it? The fact that it is in the country of Russia alone is not a strike against it.

So your Chamber of Commerce is also in charge of doing things that get it negative sanction by anticorruption and organized crime stuff while also giving out harm to just general persecuted groups? Samesies, nothing to do? Rough week if so, my condolences.

Those Russkis got nothing on us or our Minnesota American mosquitoes. Way back in the 18 oughts there was such a proliferous abundance of mosquito tornadoes that they dang well lifted up the border with Canada at the 49th parallel and drug the whole thing 25 miles into Canada.
