Quagmire In Mountain View

That's right. There is trouble in Mountain View California. Make sure you view the video on the right hand side of the page. Click on Squirrel Attacks Child At Bay Area Park. Thanks to my friend Michael for alterting me to this serious situation.

OMFG! Call Eric! Call Elisson! Call El Capitan! Screaming hordes of squirrels!

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- An aggressive squirrel pounced on a 4-year-old boy in an attack last week in Cuesta Park in Mountain View, Calif.
.

And so it begins. Can chipmunks be far behind?

Mountain View Community Services Director David Muela said that as many as six people have been bitten or scratched by squirrels since May, and that the attacks have become more ferocious in the last month.

It's a squirrel insurgency I tell you!

"I think it's our fault, because we made them aggressive," Carmen Perez of Palo Alto said. "Now it's dangerous and we have to do something."

That's right. We created this squirrel insurgency and I'm sure that somehow it is Bush's fault.

In response to attacks, the city of Mountain View has announced it plans to start trapping and killing the aggressive tree squirrels.

But won't that just create more squirrel insurgents?

"The squirrels will be back," South Bay wildlife rehabilitator Norma Campbell said. "For every one you take out, two more will come in. It could be a never-ending project that isn't going to accomplish anything."

Yep! It's a quagmire. We need an exit strategy to get out of this park in Mountain View, California. How many more children will be sacrificed?

Holy Crap! Saw that title and thought you were talking about my hometown. I grew up in Mountain View, but not in California.

I'd like to know that if they trap them, how well will they be treated.

"In response to attacks, the city of Mountain View has announced it plans to start trapping and killing the aggressive tree squirrels."

Now only if California would adopt that same plan for the aggressive illegal Mexicans, we would be in good shape.

Squirrels have tried to drown me in leaves. Squirrels steal stuff off my deck all the time. I've had an LT shoot a few while here and it doesn't deter them. They come back later and dry-hump my welcome mats.

Squirrels is hateful

.....When the offending Squirrel`s are captured & incarcerated in detention center`s .....Will we have to provide them with Acorn-rans for toilet paper & religious use? Will we be able to provide enough exercise wheels for them to work out on?

Skwerl - The Other Sidemeat.

Early humans existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers.
They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer & would go to the
coast and live on fish and lobster (and oysters ) in winter. The two most
important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention
of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer.

These were the foundations of modern civilization and together were the
catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
Democrats and Republican's.

Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of
agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum cans were invented yet,
so while our early human ancestors were sitting around waiting for them to
be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages
were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night
while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as
"the Republican movement."

Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off
the Republican's, by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the
sewing, fetching and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the
Democratic movement. Some of these democratic men eventually evolved
into women. The rest became known as 'girliemen.'

Some noteworthy Democratic achievements include the domestication of cats,
the invention of group therapy and group hugs, and the concept of
Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that Republican's
provided.

Over the years, Republican's came to be symbolized by the largest, most
powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Democrats are symbolized by
the jackass. Modern Democratic's like imported beer (with lime added), but
most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like
their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard democratic fare.

Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have
higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal
injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists
are Democrat's. Democrat's invented the designated hitter rule because it
wasn't "fair" to make the pitcher also bat.

Republican's drink domestic beer. They eat red meat and still provide for
their women. Republican's are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks,
construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate
executives, athletes, and generally anyone who works productively.
Republican's, who own companies, hire other Republcan's who want to work
for a living .

Democrat's produce little or nothing. They like to "govern" the producers
and decide what to do with the production. Democrat's believe Europeans
are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the Democrat's
remained in Europe when Republican's were coming to America.

Democrat's crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business
of trying to get MORE for nothing. Here ends today's lesson in world history:

It should be noted that a Democrat may have a momentary urge to angrily
respond to the above before forwarding it.

A Repubican will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of
this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other "true believers ".

"For every one you take out, two more will come in."

Sounds like a way to feed the homeless, to me.

Looks like they need to install a few of these squirrel flingers!
