Dead Trees Imperiled
Fox News reports that 22 female moonbats were arrested Monday while trying to prevent loggers from cutting down dead trees that went up in a forest fire back in 2002.
This is the third time that envirokooks have caused a disturbance at the Siskiyou National Forest since an injunction against cutting down the dead trees was lifted on March 7. Feeling no need to work for a living, the protestors have been camping out in the area, doing whatever they can to impede constructive activity while attempts are made to rescue the dead trees in court.
Forest Service officials have pointed out that logging will speed the restoration of the burnt forest. The envirokooks responded that cutting down the dead trees so that a new forest could grow would be hurtful to salmon.

One wonders whether these Oregon envirobats were inspired by, or are soon headed for, an soothing diversity vacation with their bud Cthulhu.

The only thing deader than the trees are the protestors' brains.
As for their 'reason.' At least its not for the children this time. Though I guess I am not educated enough in their view to fully comprehend how dead trees in the middle of a large healthy forrest has a detrimental impact on salmon unless we are talking run-off caused by erosion. Then again that is why nature invented grass and the US Forrest Service tends to plant grass in an area that just lost its natural cover. It just does not compute to me.

Anna's right — runoff caused by erosion was how they managed to drag salmon into it. But of course, all human activity has a detrimental effect on the ecosphere. I would suggest we all kill ourselves, but some of our corpses might wind up in streams and annoy the salmon.

Let's not kill ourselves until after March 31st (Al Gores birthday). I always set that day aside to burn some tires.

Prince Albert must have been a premature baby. I'm sure fate intended him to be born April 1.
