Politics: Oh, Great.

I like trees as much as the next guy. I guess I just get annoyed when attention gets spent on things like the latest exploits of tree-guy while actual, world-shaking events determining the course of our nation for decades to come are sitting around like end tables in an antique shop. To tree-guy I say, "Get out of the tree. It's a bummer they want to cut it down, but they will cut it down. If you didn't want it cut down, you should have bought the land."
