Why a picture of the congressman? Shouldn't we see pictures of the real "victims" here? How about pictures of delta smelt, young striped bass, threadfin shad and longfin smelt. I guess pictures of the fish wouldn't help them but a picture of a congressman is almost always helpful to him. On the other hand I don't really care.

The panel included seven state and federal scientists who reviewed the scope and possible causes of the crisis: Last year, scientists realized that several of the Delta's open-water fish species, including Delta smelt, young striped bass, threadfin shad and longfin smelt, began a sudden and sharp decline in about 2002.

The striped bass is an introduced fish. Tasty and fun to catch, but introduced.

...will be heeded if they conclude that pumping water out of the Delta is the main cause of the declining ecosystem.

It is easy to dismiss blatant political nonsense when it comes out with psychobabble such as this...

"... declining ecosystem??"
What kind of meaningless BS is that?

As if, they ever went away! Hey Fog, bet you have a bit on this to help along....

Hey, Miller, throw yourself into the Delta so the smelt got something to eat.

(Would a smelt eat a fat communist? So many conundrums and so little opportunity to solve them.)
