Newspapers Failing, Pelosi Warns of Tree Overpopulation

(2009-03-17) — With Tuesday marking the end of print publication for the 146-year-old Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and with her own local newspaper facing a similar fate, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned that failing papers could spark catastrophic overpopulation among trees.
“The primary role of newspapers for the past 50 years or so has been to control the tree population,” said Rep. Pelosi, D-CA. “Without street editions of these papers, we’ll see unchecked multiplication of the worst sorts of pulp-producing species.”
Rep. Pelosi said she would soon introduce legislation to fund the “extraction and elimination” of saplings to prevent rampant overcrowding of global forests.
However, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said fears of rapid forestation are over-hyped, and that President Barack Obama has a plan.
“At the rate that the Obama administration plans to produce new regulations,” said Mr. Gibbs, “we can easily absorb the projected surplus paper for at least the president’s first two terms. If the situation deteriorates, we can switch to printing money on tree fiber instead of cotton and linen. That would effectively eliminate the problem for the remaining life of our capitalist economy.”

I think this is simply nothing more than a tactic to sway the media from the problems at hand. Who in this nation gives a big chit about too many damned trees???? We have the knowledge to take care of that quickly. I can't believe that our tax dollars pay her for this kind of bull$hit. Heck, put this into the hands of the volunteer treehuggers organization, they know how to save a forest from itself.
