SAN FRANCISCO—An environmental group sued federal and state agencies on Tuesday in their continuing battle to list the mountain-dwelling American pika, or rock-rabbit, as a threatened or endangered species troubled by climate change.

The California Fish and Game Commission voted 4-0 in April to deny the petition, the first to argue that a species needs to be protected because of global warming.

Commissioners agreed the pika's environment of colder elevations in mountain ranges across the west is threatened by rising temperatures, but said they are working on a broader approach to protect all wildlife that could be affected.

The Bunny Lobby strikes again! This time it is for the sodomite pikas, related to rabbits and hares. Let this be a warning to all lagomorphs, your days are coming. God will unleash the rapture on you for your crimes in the Great Ptarmigan/Rabbit War. You can run, but you cannot hide, you filthy sodomite bunnies.

wait a minute.... its a BAD thing to be without some damn rabbits ?
My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.

Farmer's Almanac Predicts Colder, 'Catastrophic' Winter
Monday, August 25, 2008

LEWISTON, Maine  —  People worried about the high cost of keeping warm this winter will draw little comfort from the Farmers' Almanac, which predicts below-average temperatures for most of the U.S.

"Numb's the word," says the 192-year-old publication, which claims an accuracy rate of 80 to 85 percent for its forecasts that are prepared two years in advance.

With the constant heating worries, maybe we could use some of that non-existant global warming.   ::)
