I Can't Think of a Title That Will Do This Justice...

The Senate repealed a law passed last month that kept nonnative elk and dear on Santa Rosa Island, near Santa Barbara (and a part of a National Park). Apparently Duncan Hunter slipped a provision into a defense programs bill that overturned a federal court ruling that required the removal of some nonnative species by 2011.

Hunter says he wants the elk kept there so that disabled veterans can hunt there.

Since when do disabled vets have the right to hunt on a national park? If anything, we should open hunting season in Washington D.C. to thin the republican herd a bit.
