But really, I think it’s going to be up to US!

An aside on the data-mining and snooping, etc.:
Factor in, that since before 9/11, the ISRAELIS have OWNED most of our communications system’s lines… so it’s not just our own government spying on us, it’s probably the MOSSAD, too!

Now Nancy Numb-nuts Pelosi declares that they will NOT seek impeachment… WHOT th’F**!!??
What do they think the 71% who disapprove of Bush WANT them to do!? What’s the “strategy” here beside shooting themselves in the foot… AGAIN?

Check out my website for some gratuitous Political Cartoon Violence. Just what the Dr. ordered!

Takes salt ‘n peppa to a whole different level, eh?

Roger Kuptana, an Inuit tracker from the Northwest Territories, suspected the American hunter he was guiding had shot a hybrid bear last month after noticing its white fur had brown patches and it had the long claws and slightly humped back of a grizzly.

Territorial officials seized the creature’s body and a DNA test from Wildlife Genetics International, a lab in British Columbia, has confirmed that the hybrid was born of a polar mother and grizzly father.

“It’s something we’ve all known was theoretically possible because their habitats overlap a little bit and their breeding seasons overlap a little bit,” said Ian Stirling, a polar bear biologist with the Canadian Wildlife Service in Edmonton. “It’s the first time it’s known to have happened in the wild.”

Stirling said polar bears and grizzlies have been successfully paired in zoos and that their offspring are fertile, but there has been no documented case in the wild.

Kuptana, a guide from Sachs Harbour in the Northwest Territories, was tracking with Idaho big-game hunter Jim Martell, who had paid C$50,000 (US$45,500, or euro35,800), for a license to hunt polar bears.

The DNA results were good news for the 65-year-old hunter, who could have been fined or jailed for up to a year for shooting a grizzly. The Northwest Territories Environment and Natural Resources Department now intends to return the bear to Martell.

“It will be quite a trophy,” Martell told the National Post newspaper last week, before the DNA results were in. He is now in Yellowknife for another hunt, this time with a permit to shoot a grizzly bear. Martell told the newspaper he has dubbed the hybrid creature a “polargrizz.”

………….i’ve dubbed the creature “dead”.

Well, as any good thermophilic composter will tell you, if you do it correctly, you won’t have flies on top of your well mixed compost pile.

Not only that, but I’ve heard that composting, true, hot, aerobic composting is the best metaphor for turning truly nasty stuff into the nicest, most earth-friendly stuff there is: a noble food for fertile soil.

It’s not the stuff, it’s the process that makes the difference.
