I could not help but laugh when I read this little tidbit about our very entertaining and annoying Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz. It seems that his apartment building has a nasty outbreak of bed bugs. Of course my little mind went on overdrive. What if Marty infested the Queen Mary cruise ship with bed bugs? After all, he just spent 6 days, all expenses payed, aboard that luxury liner. A free cruise just for being Brooklyn's B.P.
Now that would be funny, no?

It's not news that bedbugs are resurgent in New York, infesting all sorts of apartments in all parts of the city. But now we know the little critters might be heading for our leaders: Several residents of Marty Markowitz's Prospect Park West apartment house confirm that the borough president's building has an outbreak of the bugs. One resident spotted her own infestation two years ago and hired an exterminator; two months ago, another fled her apartment because of the bugs. Flyers appeared in the building last month carrying pictures of the tiny culprits and reminding residents of scheduled exterminator visits on the first Saturday of each month. Markowitz's spokeswoman says the beep's apartment has so far been spared. But he's still being safe. "I'm going to go along with my building's plans to fumigate to prevent my unit and others from getting them," he told us via the rep. Good luck, Marty. The borough is counting on you. —Eric V. Copage
