However, Armitage was staunchly anti-war...

A complete falsehood. If he were "staunchly anti-war", would he have signed on to the PNAC Letter to Clinton in '98 that called for Hussein's ouster, by force if necessary? Quite frankly, it's because he supported the war at it's outset. He has since become an opponent of the war, I will grant you that much. But then again so have many conservatives who once supported Dear Leaders Grand Scheme for World Domination. Are they all now "Traitorous Libs", as well?

'Nuff Said.

VIGILANCE!!!

It is not the readily visible enemy you need to concern yourself with, my friend, it is the unseen.

I speak from experience on this topic, as one these demon arachnid heathen beasts nearly ended my tenure on this plane not long ago. A brown recluse lurking beneath an under-utilized task chair in our former offices was able to score a near-lethal blow to your fellow blogger. The resulting tissue necrosis (a section of muscle tissue on the back of my left thigh about 1.5x the size of a golf ball was literally liquified by the venom) combined with a secondary MRSA infection required nearly two months off my feet and a long and high-powered course of Cipro (yeah, that's the stuff they use for FUCKING ANTHRAX!, but MRSA just laughs at conventional antibiotics).

You may find it noteworthy that when one ingests Cipro one KNOWS THAT ONE HAS JUST INGESTED POISON.

Regardless, while the Wolf spider is capable of a bite that will be somewhat painful, it will usually never land that bite because the are SO FUCKING BIG that you always see them coming. The Brown Recluse, on the other hand is tiny, reclusive and usually un-noticed until it is too late (the same goes for the Brown, Red and Black Widow spiders that are all far more common in Florida than any of us would be comfortable in acknowledging). Recluse and Widow venom is also far more damaging to humans than that of the Wolf spider and I cannot begin to tell you just how painful tissue necrosis really is. The closest I can get to it is this: imagine taking a near-molten red-hot piece of steel rod and jabbing it a couple inches deep into your own flesh... now imagine if the nerve endings didn't cauterize when you did so.... and that is just a fraction of the pain.

Be ever vigilant in your daily battles with these evil eight legged demons. I would suggest stategic deployment of Chemical Weapons Caches throughout the yard and possibly the kitchen (I've never understood the magnetism that human kitchens have for arachnids... it's not like they can eat our food...)

Most importantly DON'T PANIC.

They love that, and they laugh at us when you do.
