This is all a lie so the EPA can stifle any growth, especially car manufacturing plants in the Southern States.

Did you all check out the "least favorite president poll" on the lower right?

Obama is getting his clock cleaned at over 80% in CT.

That gives me hope for Yankees!

The animals seem to know when a natural disturbance is coming.

Then again, it might have gotten just too cold in the Arctic.

I was in Vermont camping and our neighbor was from Boston. I fully expected to hear a torrid liberal rant so I said nothing about politics. But, when he found out I was from Texas he started in - he did not have one good word to say about the libs. We got into a very heated conversation because both of us were ranting on the same side. I told him I had not expected to meet anyone who was conservative from Boston. And he said, “We are all over, it is just that we are over-voted just enough to keep the idiots in charge.”

Preliminary results show more than 2,500 snowy owls being reported in 25 states and seven Canadian provinces. The big white owls are in the midst of an irruption, or a sudden invasion of a region in large numbers, which scientists attribute to a population boom in the birds and a scarcity of their preferred food, lemmings, in their normal range on the Arctic tundra.

The scarcity of lemmings may very well be a factor. Another factor supported by evidence such as Sun spots, and predicted by scientists, is Global Cooling.

I believe that animals and men know instinctively that the climate is getting...

COLDER (not warmer as the commie libs would have us believe)

Northern animals start moving further and further south, and men start growing beards. Both signs of both people and animals changing their behavior based on what they know instinctively to be the truth.

[GreyFriar]

Yep, climate change whereby the artic is getting warmer and thus driving the Snowy Owls southward seeking the cold.

Climate happens!

I saw one in Missouri in the mid-60s. Scared it up from a rabbit it was eating. There was rabbit fur everywhere.

Saturday, I was driving in the country south of Blue Springs (a Kansas City suburb for those who don't know) and I would have sworn that a snowy owl flew past the car. I saw it for about 10 seconds - my son, unfortunately, didn't see it before it flew out of sight, so I have no confirmation on this. It was a large raptor-type bird, predominately white with just a little black or grey on its wings. I couldn't think of anything it could have been since I'm sure it was an owl. I'm 95+% sure that's what I saw but I'm not going to try to convince anyone. I'll assure you that I've been an outdoorsman for 50+ years and I don't have a history of seeing spooks.

>>... I wonder what grilled Owl tastes like?<<

Great with garlic salt and red pepper.

[ConservativeMan55]

Might try that!

Spotted owl probably sounds good too.

[Mike Darancette]

Beautiful bird but a total killing machine.
