Maybe this will help with the mass exodus of immigrants when the usual modes of transportation get backlogged? From ABC News:
“It’s a pretty specialized item,” Tait said. “They are made of military grade nylon. They’re fire retardant and will be dyed a green color to fit in with the environment.”
The bridges also have an easy release mechanism that allows workers to disconnect them from the trees in the event that a tall truck needs to drive up to the Mount Graham International Observatory at the top of the mountain, or in the case of a forest fire.
They are called “canopy tunnel crossings” because they include a mesh tunnel through which only the Mount Graham red squirrels – and not other larger squirrel species – can fit. The tunnel will protect the squirrels from predators like birds of prey.
The money for the project comes from the Federal Highway Administration and must be used for Federal Transportation Enhancement programs. One part of the enhancement initiative is Category 11, whose goal is to “reduce vehicle-caused wildlife mortality while maintaining habitat connectivity.”
Wheeeee! Monopoly money!
Sen. McCain is against this endeavor, adding, “I thought we left the “Bridge to No Where Scandal in Alaska.”
People for the Eating of Tasty Animals responded to this Kim K pic with these fightin’ words:
“Kim Kardashian isn’t the only person who mistakenly thinks that because a mother cat picks up her kittens by the scruff of the neck that a supportive hand under the rump isn’t needed.”
I’m not sure how there is any difference, seeing as mommy cats don’t really have the option of added support of the rump, but who needs science?
I have no clue who Dominique Swain is, but apparently she was famous/relevant at some point in the last decade or two. Apparently this animal loving has-been dumped off eight Cocker Spaniel puppies at a Malibu pound, and, despite being told that the puppies would need vaccinations, Swain refused to pay for any of the treatments, saying, “I have no money” before riding off in her BMW.
Animal shelter workers said Swain was extremely rude and basically just wanted to rid herself of the animals, and did not care if they lived or died. Ironically, her slogan for her PETA campaign back in the day was “Kindness is a Class Act.”

Van Jones, the green jobs czar appointed by Obama, and whom I covered in a feature post last week, stepped down from his cushy taxpayer-sponsored job over the weekend. After being digraced as a completely incompetent, anti-White people affirmative actionite, he had few other options as he was exposed for his coarse language used against Republicans and general disregard for American values.
Interestingly, save a few recent blog posts or links to the Associated Press, most major new sources did not list any information about Jones prior to his resignation. That is to say, despite being called out for his “Republicans are assholes” remark, the only coverage Jones, who held a NYT-described “minor position” (complete with six figure salary and no real work!), enjoyed from the mainstream media was that his resignation served as a “distraction” brought about by grasping-at-straws Republicans to divert attention from Obama’s indoctrination uplifting speech to school children.
Things that received more press than the scandalized Jones: “Jon and Kate Plus 8” break up details, an eye-opening look into the world of African Gorillas, Michael Jackson’s final goodbye.
