The Twenty-Million-Dollar Woodpecker
The US government announced yesterday that it will spend ten million dollars of taxpayer money to protect a single ivory-billed woodpecker spotted in Arkansas.
The bird, previously thought to be extinct, will also receive another ten million dollars from conservation groups, making him the most valuable woodpecker since Woody.
Folly can only imagine what the $20 million will be spent on. Sinecures perhaps?
How cynical She is this morning.
