Committee Republicans expressed incredulity at the news that the US Fish and Wildlife Department biologist and others in his agency subsequently received merit bonuses and that the Forest Service officials got only ''verbal counseling'' - essentially a stern talking-to.

''The fact that these malfeasant bureaucrats got ... a pat on the back after engaging in totally unethical conduct is, in my estimation, a singular outrage,'' said Scott McInnis, a Colorado Republican. ''At the end of the day, it says a great deal about the cultural mindset of the two agencies.''

I can only hope that there is some momentum behind the push to reveal the scope of this type of scientific and environmentalist fraud.

Conservatives who think progressives are misinformed idealists will forever be blind-sided by the malice of the left-by the cynicism of those who pride themselves on principle, by the viciousness of those who champion sensitivity, by the intolerance of those who call themselves liberal, and by the ruthless disregard for the well-being of the downtrodden by those who preen themselves as social saints.

I was wondering whether there would be some outrage over this. The damn thing is, like problems with NPR, PBS, Jesse Jackson's tax-free status, Bill Clinton's impeachment..............nothing is ever prosecuted to a definitive conclusion.

Very disappointing. As the pendulum swings back, indictments need to become a reality.

I understand that it's one of the natural wonders. Even though they may have populations all around your property it seems that they have NEVER established themselves on your land (Oh that we could say the same for liberals and this country). Pretty wise of you to buy naturally snake free land!

They aren't supposed to be found this far north anyway. So it's doubtful anyone will come looking for them. Still, better safe than sorry. For all I know, some federal biologist could have set one free just for that purpose, but lost track of it, no doubt.
