Bush opens season on Ivory-Billed Woodpecker
Opens vast forest in Arkansas to clear-cutting in an attempt to expose and wipe out the species.

1. It figures. They're pure evil.
I read a prepared text of his speech tonight:

"It has come to my attention that there has been a small ray of hope glimmering out of the gathering threat to humanity the me and my posse represenationalize. We are taking steps to squash this possible hint of happiness."

Back on your heads.

3. Are they going to use some Orwellian type name...
like "The Harmful Pest Reduction Act". These birds are harmful because they are so rare, a bird-watcher may trip, fall, and get hurt, by being too focused while looking through binoculars.

4. Ivory billed woodpecker
IS against family values, for gay marriage, pro-communist, and is atheist.

6. Right wing fundies against peckers ...
It has a certain ring to it.

5. For over 60 years
Nobody had seen one of these birds.

Then a woman saw an ivory billed woodpecker in Arkansas in 2003.

The following year, some folks managed to get photos of a pair of nesting ivory billed woodpeckers.

Oh, dammit. Way to respond to a miracle, you evil peice of shit.

And give me back my dusky seaside sparrow, you filthy NASA pricks.
