Some Taliban and Al Qaeda prisoners are to be released, perhaps allowing them to fight against America once again. Can’t we at least put some tracking collars on them or tag their ears so we can know if we’re capturing the same combatants over nad over and maybe also track their mating and migration patterns? And when is it terrorists hunting season again, anyway?

Plant Dependency
Juan Non-Volokh points out how there is no empirical evidence that biodiversity is a matter of survival. I personally find our dependency on other lifeforms quite pathetic. We’re the human race, the greatest species in the universe, so why should we need bunch of other plants or animals around to survive; they should live and die by our whimsy. We should make technology that can take the place of plants in the food chain, machines that can produce food and oxygen from sunlight, water, and nutrients much more efficentiely than some stupid tree. And unlike the tree, it won’t block the sky or be a hazard to you if you run off the road.
Now don’t take me out of context and say I’m for eliminating all trees. I just think they can be relegated to some zoo or something so they can stay out of our way.
You Can’t Spell “Insanely Stupid” Without U.N.
The U.N. has yet again reinforced their credibility by electing Libyan leader Colonel Gadaffi as chair of the United Nations Commission on Human Rights. From the looks of the picture, he wore his wife’s Sunday best for the occasion.
In other news, the fox has been elected to chair the United Nations Commission on Henhouse Protection and I have been elected to chair the United Nations Commission on Not Beating Hippies.
A Really Lame Hostage Situation
Why is it that the only time we hear of a country in Europe snapping into action, it’s to help the Iraqi government? I still find Germans a little intimidating, even though they’ve basically settled into being another whiny European nation. It’s just that, with their harsh sounding German vernacular, whines from them still sound scary and threatening.
