          Our biggest threat right now is a bunch of worms, who are somehow all-powerful and as strong as a butcher’s drill and against which the Department of Defense has to mobilize. Not China, not Russia, not Mexico, not Canada, worms.

            It sounds like a worm-minded individual has taken over the agency of disease control…
