Polar Bear ESA Status Vote Postponed

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

The Fish & Wildlife has put the decision on whether to make polar bears “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) off for 1 month. Gee, I wonder if it has anything to do with the oil and gas exploration lease the Bush Administration is selling on Feb. 6th along the Chukchi Sea? BTW, it’s the most important land-based habitat that America’s polar bears have left!

Please urge your Senators and Representative to permanently safeguard the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by designating it as federally protected wilderness. To sign a petition to stop the Arctic Drilling lease sales, click Stop The Drilling Bear hugs, Frankie

Since Governor Palin finally chose a Canadian company to build the gas pipe line (just this last week), I suppose it will be interesting to see what the biologists and scientist decide about the status of our Polar Bears. They are suppose to make a decision whether to place them on the endangered list on Wednesday — oops, I mean next month when it doesn’t conflict with Bush Administration’s interests.

If they do, then it will be a landmark decision, both objectively and morally. Say some prayers…for the bears…if you cares…

Snoo Man

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Well, for me what’s snoo is I finally got my Internet back after 3 days being down due to the big storms here in California. I have solar, but Comcast’s lines went down. Burrr and it’s been cold too! (I know, David, I don’t know what cold is compared to you in Alaska.)

Anyway, I’m just happy to be able to view the world again — not through the eyes of the TV or radio news — but through the articles, news, thoughts, ideas, conversation, arguments, first hand account of people on the Internet. Let’s face it, with the Internet, we can get all the news, not just the summaries of what the TV news-folks think will sell. I can get the details of anything that’s happening. The world of news and information dissemination is changing my friends, and I’m for one am glad. Hopefully, with more people on the Net, we’ll have better decisions being made in elections, etc. Bear hugs, Frankie

It’s true. I’m not going to be sarcastic anymore. Really!

What’s new with you? Don’t worry, if you are not immediately responding to my question, times will catch up with you.

It’s understandable that folks would say “HUH?” when ask “what’s new?.”

After all, it’s been the same overdose of really confusing stuff for eight years now.

We’re at war in a place we can’t understand why we are there in the first place, and we are not kicking ass on the guys that attacked us on 9-11, and all our money and even more than we ever had has been spent doing…what?

Meanwhile, global warming is going unchecked and we don’t have socialized medicine. Pot is illegal, yet corrupt politicians are claiming innocence because they were drunk when they did stuff wrong.

Wut’s Noo is 2008, my friends. This is the year folks will stop believing the things they see on TV, and start listening to the other citizens, you and me, who are talking and listening on the internet. Hugs, David

New Years Resolutions

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008

My New Years resolution is to continue to be sarcastic and whatever else it takes to get people to stop hurting animals. I read a poem the other day on the subject of giving an animal as a gift. The last line was, “You didn’t receive a gift. You received a life.” Maybe we can get trophy hunters to get the message, “You didn’t get a trophy. You ended a life.” The animals of our planet need our help. Let’s make 2008 the year of the animal and take responsibility for how we treat them. Bear hugs – Frankie

It’s true. I’m not going to be sarcastic anymore. Really!

I’m not going to talk about how gullible the American public is, or are we just slow witted?

Nope. Not going to talk about how Al Gore was illegally robbed of the presidency by the Bush clan even though he had the true support of the country and the most votes. Doesn’t matter.

All Al Gore has done since then is win an Emmy, an Oscar, and the Nobel Peace prize for his efforts to promote Global warming and environment awareness.

George W. Bush has, well…uh…well him and Cheney are pretty secretive about everything…so no one is sure…exactly…or free to talk about it.

Don’t worry about this stupid Global Warming folks. Just because it’s already wiping out the walruses, and it’s predicted the Polar bears could meet their demise by mid century or sooner, doesn’t mean we are in danger.

We’re at the top to of the food chain, right? And according to Mr. Bush, God granted us superiority on this planet. I hope he wasn’t being sarcastic…
Hugs – David
