A short note on invasive species
Regular readers know I was in Hawaii last week. I took a quick detour on the way home to visit my sister in Dillon, Montana, a beautiful five hour drive from Salt Lake City. It so happens she is a biologist, and an expert in invasive species. Unfortunately, we did not discuss this story, which suggests a potentially yummy solution to the problem.

In a purely Swiftian sense, can I say that I've long regarded Congressional Democrats as an invasive species?
I'll take some salsa with mine, please.

Perhaps we could re-legalize the slaughter of horses?
While not popular here, Europeans have long consumed them.
Oh wait. Wild horses on public lands are a desirable invasive species. We choose not to be outraged, worried or indignant about wild equine proliferation.
Some invasive species are more equal than others.

Some invasive species are more destructive than others, and a few may even be desirable. But the bad ones are really, really, bad. As anybody who has struggled with Asian milfoil knows.
