Hey UPCHUCK why don't you follow the Geese up to Canada.

[Russ]

An open season with shotguns would do the job nicely.

[katze]

Agreed, Schumer is an idiot, and this is hardly a govt responsibility. OTOH, these geese can make a terrible mess. Oh, maybe Hillary could make them an endangered species. ;-)

[mn_b_one]

Uhhh....real tough problem to solve, uhhh...let hunters shoot lots of geese, and feed the homeless, uhhhh..., uh...guess I solved two problems at da same time....maybe i should be a congess man. and it don't cost da takpayer no greenbaks...huh huh huh

[.38sw]

Saaaay...Didn't Hillary say she used to hunt ducks? Maybe she could be recruited to help with this project. Oh, never mind.

[Orangedog]

Even a brokem clock is right twice a day. I don't believe I'm actually coming up on the same side of an issue as Schumer, but in central Ohio, these vile birds are a royal pain. They foul up yards, sidewalks and parking lots with their droppings, waddle across busy streets and bring traffic to a halt, and generally make a nuisance of themselves. Oh, and you don't dare go "old-school" on these blasted animals and trap/shoot/poison them....big fines and jail time for those who do.

I sure that Chuckie Schmuckie will do the right thing. First, we can be sure that the ultra left wing, extreme liberal geese (they are Canadian, after all) WANT to do the right thing. So, it is just a question then, of education. Lets go to the breeding grounds and, with an "eggucation" program, teach the young goslings about the advatages of other landing areas. Then, with clever signs and posters in the primary languages honked by Canada geese, remind them of the alternatives. Sure, it can be an expensive program and will require, not only many dedicated federal employees, but the commitment of all Americans, but we have no choice, we must do it for the other silly gooses. Right Chuckie?

[jigsaw]

Oh sure, Upchuck!

Stop the geese from pooping and you know what'll happen?

The vegetation won't grow as well and you know what then?

Carbon dioxide will build-up in the atomsphere and you know what then?

Global warming!

You killer!

The solution, you ask....

Let people EAT these geeses to pieces and the increase in people's poop will protect the planet!

Chuckie, call Dan Rather with this. He'll thank you.

[folklore]

They are canadian geese, it is an INS problem.

[brbethke]

Repeal the ban on lead shot?

Open a special nationwide 9-iron season on geese on golf courses?

Donate a million Weber barbecue grills to the fiscally less fortunate, along with a million copies of Ted Nugent's Kill It And Grill It cookbook?

[glaseatr]

I get the feeling that "Ol Chuckey" got bombed by a high flyer. LAMO

[Paul Atreides]

Ironic that he should worry about geese when he has an old bat senator taking a dump on him at every oppportunity.

[kstewskis]

- using plastic owls, moving scarecrows, noise machines and other sound effects to scare the geese;

My border collie would do a better job of clearing out the geese. And it wouldn't cost the US a cent.

p.s. Why does UPCHUCK feel that this is a US gov't problem, and not a NY problem?? Because we're dealing with "foreign" immigrants? LOL!!

[Utopia]

The Canada geese have become year-round residents of parks and lake areas,
Well, if they are now year-round residents, they are no longer Canadian Geese, but New York Geese and thus they are Constituent Geese, eh?

[AdA$tra]

The irony here is that this legislation will probably get voted on in the Senate. While any real initiatives never make it to the floor.

[timydnuc]

Note to Senator Schumer: Shoot them and eat them! Problem solved!

Like most socialists, Chuckie takes the wrong vector to get to his destination. He figures that the world is round (one of the few ideas that the socialists buy into) and he figures, "I'll get there some time"! The man is an incredible idiot.

[paul51]

fences around lakes and ponds to block access to the water

Ah...Don't geese fly?

[Political Junkie Too]

It's obvious now that Canadian Geese are racist against Americans. That's why they're pooping on everything in Long Island.

What's good enough for the dog is good enough for the gander.

[Lazamataz]

Maybe we can get into a support group with the Geesian-Americans and we can convince them to do more abortions, if that helps to self-actualize them in a meaningful and loving way.

[RonF]

If the government would buy me ammo for my shotgun, I'd solve the local goose problem and feed some homeless in the bargain.
