Bush proposes making the ostrich our national bird!

Due to the rather embarrassing fact, that our country's blatant disregard for the environment, nearly drove our country's national bird, the Bald Eagle, to extinction, there are now more ostriches living in captivity in zoos, in America, than there are Bald Eagles living in the wild.

This has led the Bush regime to assert that the Ostrich more nearly characterizes out national spirit, than the majestic, but nearly extinct, bald eagle. The ostrich is famous for burying its head in the sand, rather than facing its problems, directly.

Numerous suggestions have been made, on how the average citizen can contribute the lessening of greenhouse gases, which cause global warming....including buying a hybrid car, using more mass transit, or taking advantage of tax incentives to place solar panels on their homes.

But, in spite of these, and many other suggestions, most Americans plan to do nothing.
