PRAIRIE DOGS INVADE CEMETERY



The Rita Blanca Grassland runs adjacent to a local cemetery near Felt, Oklahoma. In recent months, prairie dogs have invaded from the grassland into the cemetery, creating sink holes and damaging property.  Human bones from grave sites dating back to the 1920’s are visible on the surface, and burrows into the earth are evident where relatives of the deceased thought their loved ones would rest peacefully, according to FOX NEWS.

Local cemetery officials claim that the U.S. Forest Service has neglected the job of controlling the destructive prairie dogs, and protections over another species are preventing action being taken. “It all comes down to [The Forest Service] wanting to introduce an animal called the black footed ferret. The ferret has never lived here and we’ve never seen any in all of our years maintaining the premises,” said Daryl McDaniel, Chairman of the Board of Bertrand Cemetery.  “Introducing and protecting an animal that has never lived here is giving us a lot of headaches. We can’t spread poison to kill the prairie dogs, and that’s our most effective way of doing so.”  

COMMENTS:
Evidently, the people in Felt have a bone to pick with the Forest Service.  The feds just can’t resist screwing things up, can they?  And now, they’re taking over regulation of the Internet due to “Net Neutrality.” 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Did I hear that CNN is in trouble?  (Lilly ~ Redding, CA)
A. Yes, you did.  To start off with, while Americans are thirsty for regularly updated news programming that sticks to the news, its HEADLINE NEWS NETWORK has been having to cut programming costs and running reruns of Forensic Files in order to stay afloat.  Now, CNN has plummeted from second place ratings behind FOX NEWS, to third place behind MSNBC, (the worst of the worst).   Viewers are not happy with CNN’s attacks on cops or their consistent liberal slant on the news.  We want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. 

Q. Do you think race relations have gotten better or worse under Obama?  (Ruth ~ Medford, OR)
A. Obama, Holder and Sharpton have combined to use their bully pulpits to lash out confrontationally against whites and to stoke violence.  Martin Luther King would have used the presidency to try and create constructive and proactive dialogue.  Obama has proven beyond all doubt that it is he who is the real racist in this country, and I don’t mean a car racist either. 

Q. What’s going on in Yemen since the Iranian fleet left the scene?  (Jennifer ~ Galveston, TX)
A. Yemen just sent a letter to the U.N. pleading for ground forces to help them.  It all adds up to yet another failure of Mideast Policy on the part of the illustrious Obama administration.
