Why did the turtle cross the road? To get to the other side. Why do Republicans ALWAYS call conservation projects pork?

Because Republicans can't get out of their own way !


That is a heck of perspective on life. He looks like some kind of Geico commercial or something. Maybe a good Wall Street icon instead of bulls.

Don't laugh, some of these babies live longer than you.

Look, these species are hard wired. They only know what their internal compass tells them and that is either feeding or nesting or mating grounds are this way. They don't discern that humans are ? smart ? enough to put a road in their path. The least a human being can do when impinging on a natural habitat because of ? progress ? is accommodate the species they are destroying. Get real. The turtles have a right to life and need a safe passage.

It is called morality. Different from 'Republican Life Strategy.' Get your mind around it.

Turtle deaths soar on Cape May County roads (click here)

MIDDLE TOWNSHIP -- Researchers are trying to figure out why the number of diamondback terrapins killed on Cape May County roads has soared during the past two years.
The Wetlands Institute said turtle deaths jumped by 51 percent from 2007 to last year. The deaths are on pace this year to match the 2008 total of 575....


According to the "IUCN Red List," (click title to entry - thank you) Malaclemys terrapin is considered near threatened.

While there might be an increase in turtle births of the Diamondback Terripins, that is no reason to ignore or be ignorant of the fact these are considered a "Near Threatened" species.

The birth rate is not necessarily known to have increased in relation to deaths either. It could be the traffic on the road increased as more people were threatened with a poor economy and the danger to the turtles therefore increased. Republicans are antiquated in their approach to any subject and obsolete in a majority of their values.

Oh, wait.

Values?

I forgot, they only value a theocarcy. I guess they are consistent then. Does that mean Republicans are 'Near Threatened' species as well? Doesn't matter, there are always the Nixon tapes and library.
