The envirowackos will hate him. But then again, they must also hate Daschle. Heh.

It could also incite a storm of opposition from environmental groups that argue logging only will do more harm to Western forests.

Well the way I see it .. We can either thin the forrest with logging or

Continue to use the Enviro Whacko's plan/idea

I'm thinking the whacko's plan ain't working so I'm willing to try the logging

At least the damn forrest won't burn to the ground

I'm sending Milstean a copy of Nunya's article about Mark Vande Pol's book....will you join me???

I'll be amazed to see Kitzhaber here tomorrow...he's about as fond of Medford as he is of Klamath Falls! LOL! Besides he usually can't be bothered with things like this.....And if I get the chance I'm giving Pres. Bush a copy of "Natural Process".

Bush expected to promote new forest policy

Jenny been talkin' 'bout owls and minnows. She don't want no one in the woods. Jenny sits in trees and hates Mr. Bush. She chants and smokes funny cigarettes. Jenny says she wants to burn down lots of houses. She hates loggers. But I say, stupid is, as stupid does.

Environmental groups, long critical of the president for appointing friends of timber and other industries to top posts, said the president is simply using Western wildfires to justify increased logging. They said cutting would likely target the most valuable large trees instead of the smaller wood that poses the greatest fire risk.

What else can they say? They don't have a limb or twig to stand on so they fabricate a platform out of thin air. And anything growing out of that stance will not even approximate logic.

Unless, of course, one can honestly admit that logging trees for profit hurts the forests and the civilization that exist near them.

Great news, even to the few of us who knew it was coming.

Unfortunately, the president is correct in saying the costs of fighting wildfires are out of control. I'd say the cost are escalating out of control in proportion to the massive wildfires themselves.

The USDA budget has been increased as much as it possibly can. Around 80% of the increased funding is earmarked for the Forestry department.

Now that the governors and senators who went along with the envirowacko policies of the last three decades in exchange for votes and are reaping the bitter harvest of what they sowed....I suggest they let the FREE MARKET provide a solution to the problem.

Last month I began talking to Foresters and the contractors they hire: very soon there will be a LOT of work for those with the record, certifications and ambition to follow though on the president's idea. There are many willing and experienced hands and minds ready to help. I want the old timber management crowd in on this from the get go, so that we can expetide the cure to environazi insanity.

Hope it works.

Great, lumber prices are ridiculously high. Let's start increasing supply.

[cake_crumb]

Does anyone know what time tomorrow the president is expected to give this speech? I'd really like to hear it.

[Glutton]

Bump for later reading.

Bush is the man to save our forests!
