The number of distractions presented as news seems to be increasing, of late. Naturally, homosexual marriage has been a headliner, but in the past few days, the dangers of marijuana have also been highlighted: a couple of days ago, "news" outlets warned of moldy marijuana, and yesterday brought the tale of tragedy for folks who're allergic to pot yet have a medical grow-op suddenly take root next door.
Today's story involves the hazard to fishers affected bypot plantations in the forests, lovingly tended by undocumented Democrats. It seems that they're carpeting the areas with rat poison (who knew that rats are attracted to the plants?) and the fishers eat the poisoned rats, thus poisoning themselves. Things have got so bad for the little furballs that the feds are considering adding the west-coast population to the Endangered Species List.
Of course, if that happens, the undocumented Democrats are going to have to find another line of work, much as loggers and mill operators had to do because Spotted Owl. Yeah, that seems likely.
Perhaps these distractions are intended to deflect attention from the fact that Barky ordered an end to White House tours because Sequester, yet scraped together enough cash to send the girls to that Atlantis resort in the Bahamas and then off to the ski slopes. This is, what, their third vacation this year?
