Why the salmon died: Pattern points to Bush administration policies

the Register Guard ^ | 12 Nov 02 | A Register-Guard Editorial

Well, here is the take on this issue from the People's Republic of Eugene. I don't think this would play well in a newspaper's masthead in K-Falls or Medford.

Lets see, first Bush starves poor people, throws elderly in the streets and gives queers AIDS, and now he kills salmon.

I see.

[MrB]

Yep, Rush already warned us about this.

The new philosophical question should be:
"If a tree falls in the forest, and the Republicans are not in charge, who do we blame?"

[marktuoni]

Nothing goes better with vegetables grown with enough water than smoked endangered salmon. Keep up the good work Mr. President!

[LinnieBeth]

Salmon are NOT "endangered"! And if they were, they can be easily farm-raised.

[Fresh Wind]

The investigation into the Klamath fish kill is not yet complete...

That doesn't seem to stop some people from reaching a conclusion, does it. Could it be that their minds were made up before the investigation began?

This explains why the leaves on my maple trees turned brown and fell off.

Bush is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Protect the sucker fish upstream and he is criticized for killing the salmon. Let water down to save the salmon and he is criticized for killing the sucker fish.

You can never satisfy the leftwing wackos.

[grobdriver]

buying out Klamath Basin farms and leaving their irrigation water in the Klamath River would create a revitalized downstream fishery and expanded recreation with a value that substantially exceeds that of the farms.

By whose measure?
Certainly not the farmer's or their family's

[sauropod]

Except for the little knotty problem that salmon aren't endangered.

Some editorial writer needs to do his homework a little better.

OH NO THE SALMON ARE DIEING - Is the end of the world upon us?

Nope, just the end of those salmon, just like the millions of species that went their own way when the time came...

more than 33,000 endangered salmon

My supermarket apparently deals in endangered species.

I’m going to see if the meat department has any panda steaks.

Ya know, yesterday, I tripped on my stairs, and now I have a big welt on my ass.

I am quite certain, that it is George Bush's fault.

"Bush is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Protect the sucker fish upstream and he is criticized for killing the salmon. Let water down to save the salmon and he is criticized for killing the sucker fish."

Your post reminds me of the Aesop's fable about how it didn't matter if a boy or old man were riding their donkey, or even if they spared it's back entirely and both walked; someone passing by would have criticism about what they were doing.

Suffice it to say, the Register Guard is a paper owned by the Baker family in a very, very liberal city. They know how to editorialize in a way they do not offend their customer base.

Now that is absolutely one of the funniest things I have ever seen on FR.

My liberal bump for the day:

Liaberals defend lawless acts.

Ask liberals what laws you don't have to follow relative to them.

Can you lie to them? Rape their daughter? Lie under oath against them? Steal their money? Steal votes from someone they believes in?

Liberals have much tolerance for criminal behavior, but that's because they think of themselves as the person doing the crime, the one getting away with inappropriate acts. The one above the law.

Put the shoe on the other foot and they're just like us. No one likes it being done to them... Democrats are hypocrites with wonderful defense mechanism that prevent them from seeing what they are.
