I think what you are looking for is found in Sacramento. In fact we have called him “The Moonbat” for many years. He is now the ubermeister of all things legal in Kalifornia, and his name is Jerry Brown.

That must be why they picked Rosie O'Donnell to play her in the movie.

There is also no way in hell that these flying reptiles could kill any healthy T-Rex that is anything bigger than a baby.

They are the same thing, there is no evidence of any evolvement.

A lone wolf usually has no chance against a moose. Packs of these flying things could do it. Picture Hitchcock’s ‘The Birds’. Wouldn’t want to be caught out in the open.

Someone should photo shop Reid and Kennedy into that pic.

I know that a lot of people here have a problem with John McCain, but he deserves credit for blocking the original Endangered Species Act.

Today we take it for granted that creatures as creepy and destructive as this one are extinct. And a good thing, too, because nobody wants to meet up with a freaking bird-lizard with a head ten feet long and wings 30 feet across.

But don't think for a minute that there weren't any liberals back then who wanted to protect these damned things, and even Tyrannosaurus Rex. If it were up to the Jurassic liberals, thousands of people a day would be picked up off their feet by either really sharp giant beaks or mouths the size of a house. And those people wouldn't be coming back down again either, except as reptile poop.

McCain may be a pain about Global Warming now, but back then he had more sense. And he led the fight to make sure that these things — and even worse things — had the opportunity to eat each other to extinction without interference from government. So if you did not get eaten today, thank John McCain.
