"The White House Was Clearly in the Fog" says ABC News, regarding the response to Hurricane Katrina. So, did the National Weather Service issue a fog watch for this severe fog? Was this fog also hovering heavily in Crawford, Texas where the president was vacationing at the time? You know, if the White House would have said, hey, we're stuck here in a thick blanket of fog, we just can't help right now, maybe people wouldn't be so upset.
"Shark Attacks Fall in 2005 as Humans Fight Back" says Reuters. In the beginning of the 1980s we had songs that said "I'm a lover, not a fighter..." and "Don't fight it.." but thank goodness for Twisted Sister who clamored "We're not gonna take it..." If it weren't for the big hair metal bands, where would we be now? Probably short a few humans who declared to the impending shark attack "I'm a lover."
"Suit filed to get tricolored blackbird on endangered list" according to an AP wire story. First of all, make up your mind first about the poor bird: is it tricolored or black? Secondly, why are you filing the suit when you should be putting the black suit on the bird? Maybe it's because the bird is a tricolored blackbird that it is becoming extinct... you think? It just doesn't fit in with the rest of the blackbirds at the old bird pond, and then there's that pecking order issue.
In a semi-related story:
"Ready to Test Their Wings? U.S. Plans to Remove Bald Eagles from the List of Threatened Species" reports the Washington Post. I wonder what cure for bald eagles worked? Transplants? Wigs? Comb-overs? Rogaine? Propecia? Hair Club for (the) Birds?
