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.
