The Floyd George Wilderness?

I guess that does it for The Ghost and Mrs Muir. Always liked that show. Hope Lange, right?

There’s a whole lot of buildings in liberal land with his name on them, especially in Norcal. This will eventually cost many millions, as the dems chase their tails over this for the next few years. I for one will be enjoying every minute of it.

I recall Sierra Club expelling or voting out a prominent African-American member (who, IIRC, was opposed to illegals) due to pressure from a California billionaire who donated a huge sum and made the club stray from environmental concerns to a more left wing stance.

Maybe he can do it with his pen. The Liberals would burn down the forest in response because they are that crazy.
