Barren? Wasteland? No life?

Drop a thousand gophers on the Democrat party. Let’s see what happens.

Gophers should only be dropped on the enemy.

What tickled me about that story, aside from the fact it worked out so well, is the “test drop” beaver became a little adrenaline junkie and LOVED parachuting.
