The new [Wash​ing​ton​Watch​.com blog](http://www.washingtonwatch.com/blog) (a project of yours truly) has a post up about the [Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite Act of 2008](http://www.washingtonwatch.com/blog/?p=31).

In case you had any doubts, there is nothing Congress and the federal government won’t try to tackle.
