Louisiana fights West Nile, own culture

An "Oh, Those Wacky Louisianans!" story from the Trib, combined with West Nile scare tactics. It's the two newspaper cliches that go great together!



I show you this map for two reasons. One is that this is from the Orlando Sentinel, meaning that the Chicago Tribune website is too sorry to not hijack other papers' graphics. Two, look at the southern states with no West Nile. You have Maryland, home of the Dreaded Chinese Snakehead Walking Fish, and South Carolina, which shares a lake where other DCSWF were reportedly found. The answer is clear: Snakeheads Prevent West Nile! I mean, it's not West Yangtze Virus, is it?
