The female cockroach emits a perfume that is a siren song to male cockroaches.
When she's ready to mate, in one of the most erotic acts of the insect kingdom,
the female cockroach will climb to a high point - say, the top of a steaming
mountain of horseshit - and tenderly open her wings wide and, in an act of
exposure and desire, release the pheremone that will bring her a bounty of
males who would mate with her. The female cockroach likes her sex gentle,
loving; however, the males are not so kind. Driven mad by the scent of
cockroach ***** juice, they wildly, roughly ***** the female. Indeed, roach sex
is one of the most crazed, if brief, bouts of fucking in the entire animal
kingdom.
Scientists have finally isolated that scent, and now the ripe smell of cockroach
fecundity can be used against the males. Traps can be laced with the perfume,
drawing out the enlarged and throbbing males. The traps don't work to eliminate
all the roaches in an area, but, as with so many things, if one roach is drawn
out, in a hotel, a church, a capital building, then surely there are thousands
of more cockroaches to be found and killed.
Former exterminator Tom DeLay surely knows the potency and danger of being drawn
in by the promise of a scent. He got into politics because he thought
environmental regulation was hindering his business. And since that time, for
DeLay, the political process has been about a grand pyramid scheme of money and
power with the Hammer at the top, a Mafia-like operation where if one didn't
obey, one could expect to be crushed like a stoolie in a car compactor. As long
as those under him kept the cash flowing upward, DeLay was happy to offer them
protection, legislation passage, campaign cash, and, really, baskets of
cookies.
All over the Internet, there's a blogasm going on over the indictment of DeLay
on a single charge of criminal conspiracy to funnel funds from his PAC to the
effort to elect legislators in Texas who would them re-draw the districts of
the state to favor Republicans and, thus, enlarge DeLay's coffers in the long
run. The good of this right now is the exposure of DeLay's kingdom and, indeed,
the Republican Party as the safehouse for greed, corruption, and ill will
towards democracy in general. The long-term good may be the defeat of DeLayism,
which, unlike Gingrichism, is not an ideology - just a desire for cash and
power so you can make more cash to get more power.
While we may not get a conviction, let us relish yesterday's delicious sight of
DeLay looking like a man who had just swallowed a poison-coated termite,
desperately trying to disengorge himself of the bug, attempting to destroy
Ronnie Earle, a man who, if he could touch, DeLay would have had buried alive
years ago. If one actually does have the "categorial and absolute" facts on
one's side, one does not need to attack the opposition with the viciousness
that DeLay attacked Earle yesterday. Roy Blunt, the new House Majority Leader,
is just a DeLay lackey, but let us pause and believe for a moment that the evil
are punished.
Yes, Tom DeLay has smelled that roach aroma, luring him into more and more
blatant acts of political depravity, and now he must pay at least some moral
price for his failings, for entering the trap. If you looked deep enough into
DeLay's eyes yesterday, you understood his fantasy life, of flying onto that
pile of horseshit, of sniffing all over the thorax of the female roach, who
delicately closed her wings, closing off her pheremones to any other males, of
rubbing her pronotum with one of his six legs before fondling her cerci, of
roughly entering her roach ***** after unfolding his roach *****, of fucking
away while staring at the other male roaches who answered her call but now
slink away, back into the dark, dank, dirty corners.
