We have mosquitoes in Louisiana as well, but its not a news story.Lol! It's a news story because it seems to be a new, very aggressive form of mosquito that will likely spread to other areas. And these 'suckers' hang around in winter.

Then again, I’m sure there is nothing new about Mosquitoes living in the NYC sewer system.

"It's a news story because it seems to be a new, very aggressive form of mosquito that will likely spread to other areas. And these 'suckers' hang around in winter." Aggressive? We have mosquitoes here that will stand flatfoot in the dust and rape a rooster. They stick around all winter, too...

When I lived and traveled around the south a few years back; I saw many Christian-themed billboards lining the highways but only saw TWO calling upon people to repent. Both were in Georgia.

problem with broken pipes in his basement In NYC there are steam pipes that run beneath the roadways, which warms everything around them. They are talking about Culex Pipiens Molestus living in the storm sewers:
Eliminating them, we are told by the Health Department, is going to require ripping up the road, treating it and putting the road back down, Lagan said.
I just saw coming up from these holes a whole bevy of mosquitoes. If the city were to patch up the holes in the street it would take care of at least some of the mosquitoes, Rosenthal said.
Culex pipiens molestus breeds all-year round, is cold intolerant, and bites rats, mice, and humans. It is also known as the The London Underground mosquito, where it was first observed during WWII. First appearance in NY, I am guessing.

Yeah, well, you also can’t tell anybody what they are doing is evil or wrong. They might get “offended”

Wow. You like to exaggerate. Just get rid of any standing water in the basement or spray some oil where water accumulates and they can't reproduce. Case closed.

Repent is a word we dont hear enough in this country anymore...
AMEN to both of you gentlemen.
Unless and until America thoroughly embraces Chronicles 7:14, we as a Nation are going to continue down the slippery slope which leads to absolute destruction and desolation.
God is patient, but even His divine patience ultimately will be exhausted.
God help us.

Find the stagnant water, drain it and get some %$#^%#$ bug spray!!
Why is everything such a freakin’ big catastrophe in liberal cities?
To: ETL
Sounds similar to the Asian Tiger Mosquito. Active in day time and at night - aggressive feeders - Houston had a big problem with them a few years ago. Don’t know if they still do.

Thats particularly nasty if they are living in the sewers, because the only thing they could be feeding on down there are the rats. Its only a matter of time before they transmit some disease from the sewer rats to these Manhattanites.
All true, but what sewer related disease can equal the diseases common on the Upper East Side due the perverse behaviors of teh residents?
Even Plague is easier to cure than HIV, Hepatitis, etc.

Boy isn't that the truth. The joke used to be the State Bird of Louisiana was the mosquito. :)

"Up until now, we in NYC have only had people that do both of these things..." In that case, I'd say the mosquitoes are the very least of your worries.

Don’t forget that the greenie windmills kill bats at night. Agreed - bats are amazingly talented at eating pounds of mosquitos per night!
I don’t know details about whether or not NYC even has a bat population. They like our old barn to have their babies in - no barns in NYC, however!!
