Crumby Gives Thanks to the Merciful White Goddess

As everyone knows, the US Fish and Wildlife Service is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mammonite developers in these parts. Yet what happens when 875 acres of golden-cheeked warbler (Dendroica chrysoparia) (Class Aves) habitat gets developed adjacent (right across RM 1431) to the Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, the actual federal component of the preserve system? Seems like, since the government employees at the refuge have to drive past the new development to get to work, they might be aware of it. Turns out they are aware of it, yet clearing of gcw habitat has proceeded without a permit, or even, apparently, negotiations.

Thank You, thank You, thank You, Merciful WG for getting me out of the environmental consulting business. I am so happy that I am not involved. The WG has spared me from being cooped up in meetings with a bunch of liars and gluttons, or receiving their lying e-mails and memos.

Ha! Rumor has it, that to get a managerial position at the FWS in these parts, you have to believe in the fair flat tax, the trickle down, and intelligent design. That figures. If you believe all that, and you can tell a good, eating endangered species joke, you may be able to negotiate with the Mammonite developers without pissing them off. Yes. Sweet talking the Mammonite developers into doing exactly what they want to do must be a great job for an aspiring bootlicker or ass kisser.

Anon, inevitably, Lago Vista is fixing to look just like that other eyesore, Bee Caves. But Praise the Goddess, I am spared involvement in the process. On the other hand, I shall not be spared the result. Mercy!
