This is an opinion piece that I just happened to find interesting. I know there has been a lot of Obama bashing since Chicago lost the Olympics, but I didn't see the SNL piece until stuff started showing up on the internet. I'm just interested to hear everyone's opinions on the topic.

Just as the left pioneered "AstroTurf" protesters -- homeless people lured to demonstrations with the offer of a free T-shirt and a box lunch -- liberals have also specialized in producing fake "insiders" denouncing their alleged group.

The Pyrenean ibex, a form of wild mountain goat, was officially declared extinct in 2000 when the last-known animal of its kind was found dead in northern Spain.
