Just came across this.....
[AP]-In an abrupt turn, Senator Dianne Feinstein today tabled her recently introduced legislation banning the production and sale of certain types of assault weapons and high capacity magazines. Feinstin has been called home to California by Governor Jerry Brown to personally manage what is being called the greatest threat to Californians way of life since the discovery of paraquat contaminated marijuna. "I don't know how it could have come to this", a grim Feinstein stated to reporters, "We've been so careful, so vigilent....and to think, the threat has been here under our noses the whole time".
Feinstein was referring to recent reports from Nashville TN in which the Green Sunfish, Lepomis cyanellus, has been discovered to be the most effective, voracious predator of the endangered Quino Checkerspot Butterfly.
Initial reports have Feinstein attempting to mobilize the California National Guard to meet this scourge, but later information has the Senator demanding that Airforce KC-135 tankers currently assisting in the refueling of French fighter bombers return home immediately to begin retrofitting for rotenone spraying.
To an irate French Ambassador, Feinstein was heard pleading "But don't you understand? These are BUTTERFLIES we're talking aboout! What's California without BUTTERFLIES?"
