Bush To Spotted Owls: Bring It On!

In what many are calling the first substantial environmental policy of his administration, President Bush has called for a comprehensive, preemptive strike against all endangered species of animals.

The mission entitled, “Operation Drop Dumbo” , is being carried out, ironically enough, by teams of Navy SEAL’s.

“The spotted owl, the fur seal… the whole shebang. The kid gloves are finally off,” stated one visibly giddy SEAL commander.

Calls to several top environmental activists were not returned as of noon, but their parents did all promise to give them the messages when they woke up.

When asked about the reasons for this new initiative President Bush replied, “As you all know Republicans hate animals and the environment. I thought it was high time that our policies reflected these hatreds. I have the political capital to push this forward and I intend to use it.”

President Bush was evasive when asked about other major policy initiatives for his second term but did state that “if I was gay or a Frenchman I wouldn’t be sleeping too soundly just now.”
