KTHV Ivory-bill story

KTHV (Little Rock) ran an Ivory-bill story yesterday. The video is here.

The video opens with Penny Childs of Penny's Hair Care saying "You either believe or you don't", with the anchorman then saying "Either way, the Ivory-billed Woodpecker means more millions for Arkansas".

At the end of the segment, they show some preliminary poll results. The question was "What do you think about the federal goverment spending $2 million on the Ivory-billed Woodpecker"?

These results were shown:

Money well spent--33 votes

Waste of tax money--292 votes

Woodpecker doesn't exist--49 votes

I'm glad that "Reaganomics" is working in Brinkley.

I could crack jokes about "peckerheads" and "peckerwoods" but I'll let Chris Rock do that.

I felt a sense of forebodding reading that article.
