Here on Silverhorn Mountain, wolves haven't been much of a concern for the last...well...for a long time....and now I think I know why. Researchers have discovered that wolves are becoming fish eaters. According to an article in AFP News wolves are switching to fishing as soon as salmon enter the rivers. I suspect they have learned about colesteral and the importance of getting essential oils inherent in fish, particularly salmon. The deer and moose are loving the wolve's new diet but wonder if it is a passing fad like the low carb diets.
In other news of little or no merit, President George W Bush, in a release to the Associated Press, indicated that he's figured out that things are not all that safe in the world, in his words, "We live in a dangerous world," and "And we need a president who understands the lessons of Sept. 11, 2001: that to protect America, we must stay on the offense, stop attacks before they happen and not wait to be hit again." Too bad he hadn't figured that out prior to Sept 11, 2001, perhaps things would have been different. He's deep that man...deep....
Of course, he missed the fact that most everyone seems to be more concerned with the news that John McCain's pick for Vice Prsident, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin, has a 17 year old daughter who, it turns out is um...with child...pregnant....knocked up....well you know what I mean...Yes, in case you missed it, and I have no idea how you did, the Governor of Alaska, Palin, has a 17 year old unmarried daughter...*gasp*
What's more, astute media people have also uncovered Palin's connection to an Alaskan secession party....I don't know exactly what that is, but I assume with 24 hours of darkness in winter, there is lots of sucession going on. I'm not surprised like minded folks get together and have a party....scandalous though they might be...you know that they sleep naked under those furs....
I am reminded of the Canadian Poet, Robert Service, who may very well have witnessed some of these "sucession parties" when he wrote such lines as; "the northern lights have seen queer sights"...no that's no it...um...oh yes..."there are strange things done in the midnight sun...."
The spin doctors are suggesting that the pregnancy revelations are a good thing, something that Americans can 'relate to' as opposed to the real issues like wars in middle eastern countries, and the like. I mean, really, what sells more tabloids, wars or teenage celebrity pregancies...it's amazing really.
C'mon folks, get over it, who cares except the expecting parents and their families, it's not exactly the first time a 17 year old found herself in this situation....no comparison to the 18 and 19 year olds finding themselves the victim of a roadside bomb on some road in the middle of the desert....
The spin docs say that the pending birth might generate sympathy for the party, and sympathy means votes....hey it works for us here at Silverhorn, we get a fair number of sympathy readers....
