Bloodsucker vs. Bloodsucker

by Jeff OBryant

You’ve heard the old joke about politics- that “Poli” is Latin for “many” and “tics” is Latin for blood-sucking creatures. Well, Senator Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., learned what it was like to be on the receiving end of the bloodsuckers for a change. Bitten by a tick while touring dams in upstate New York, the Senator is undergoing treatment with antibiotics to prevent the infection from becoming Lyme disease.

Though I sincerely wish the Senator a rapid and complete recovery I can’t help but hope he sees the parallel between the bloodsucker that bit him and both himself and his fellow politicians.
