[The Roux Comes First]

1. Fabulous! Is There Any Known Cure? How About Wide-spread Voting??

Make certain there's plenty of tobacco, invermectin, and other appetizers available!

All I need is popcorn and maybe a wee bit o' wine.

5. Soak in ample amounts of kerosene

Light on fire.

8. Widespread voting - YES!

Add chocolate - Even BETTER!

2. Heavy infestation. Perhaps we should take Ripley's advice.

Nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. They all look like xenomorphs to me.

3. A similar fly, the Botfly can eat human flesh. I wouldn't be surprised if the screwworm does the same. Although

news articles don't report such.

10. They evidently are two different types

I would settle for the entire group of Republicans contracting Bacterial Necrotizing Fasciitis...... it works much faster.......

4. I'll bet a robo-leopard can be engineered that eats faces that look like those three maggots.

Puffy white guys with fake smiles. That'd get rid of most (r) politicians (and a few others.)

6. Three handsome and joyous fellas. I sense a remake of the Three Amigos coming real soon.

7. Well there's no proof that some of those R voters are actually "living"

... however these guys will screw them anyway.
