Two nights ago
I'm in bed (headset on, so as not to wake MoSup again), and surfing XM
radio around 1 AM. Here's the snippet, from memory.

Some guy |
Well, Bush still hasn't placed polar bears on the endangered species list.
|
|
|
Some girl: |
I thought we were past this argument? |
|
|
Some guy: |
Well,
you'd think so. What more proof do you need? With the ice
shelves melting. bears are extinct if we don't do something. |
|
|
Some girl: |
I'm not sure it's even possible to pound sense into Bush's head ... |
|
|
Some guy: |
He's in the bag of oil companies, that's for sure. But we have to keep pressure on him before it's too late. |

Just
now I decided to see wtf this was about. I mean, the whole dialog, and
reasons behind it are absurd, but then so too are most things about man
caused global warming. Here's what I found.
Last December the Wa Post reported
“
|
The Bush administration has decided to propose listing the polar bear
as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, putting the U.S.
government on record as saying that global warming could drive one of
the world's most recognizable animals out of existence. |
” |
I must have been in a Manhattan induced holiday fog, thank the lord,
because I missed this Chistmas mood killing clap-trap. It's turns
out that, for whatever reason, Bush has been delaying. I'm hoping
it's because he recognizes that this single act , if he gets it wrong, will, by itself doom
him to a place on that special list which now includes just
Carter and Clinton. Of course, we live in times where judges are the
true masters, and one just put Bush on notice.
“
|
The Bush administration has 16 days to decide whether polar bears are
now an endangered species because of climate change, a California judge (Clinton appointed Claudia Wilken)
ruled today. ["Bush has 16 days "]

” |
Here's what I'm hoping. That Bush is through trying
to appease the left, and will renege. And ... since he has
decided it's okay to bomb Islamo terrorist occupied hospitals, it's
just a baby-step to order the bombing of California courts harboring
eco-terrorist. Am I right, or what?
