Granted the U.S Government is a big organization and there are peculiar people here and there. Still --<br /><br />The guy sounds like somebody being PUSHED to come up with something significant. Or else he doesn't have a clue what a routing slip is, or how you can tell a polar bear is dead, or why you don't hoist it up onto your airplane and do an autopsy. Or etc, etc, etc.<br /><br />Question is who is pushing him and why? This cannot be the guy's own initiative, unless his entire chain of supervisors is brain-dead. Keep in mind that the Inspector General's office is meant to be independent of the agency it inspects. Do try to imagine the Department of Justice lawyers falling off their chairs, "Here's comes the Detective Polar Bear again!"<br /><br />Still this classifies as the most ludicrous wild goose chase I've ever heard of. These geese aren't honking, they are floating dead in the water. Poor Drs.

Fantastic clear footage of what really are fabulous beasts. Especially when I reset the display to HD mode.<br /><br />It included a sequence of a male bear attempting to steal another male's mate and the subsequent confrontation which essentially involved a lot of posing and squaring up and the spilling of a minor amount of blood before the interloper decided discretion was the better part of valour and padded off to fight another day. <br /><br />Just as I was leaving, the narrator observed that female polar bears are very high maintenance. I assumed they were North American bears.chekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09076463055055404580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-41269476202262732892011-10-27T16:55:28.541-04:002011-10-27T16:55:28.541-04:00Alas, my ancestral polar bear skin succumbed to mo...Alas, my ancestral polar bear skin succumbed to mold some decades ago.<br /><br /> It wasn't as warm as you might expect, and the incorporated skull make it hard to wear while trick or treating.THE CLIMATE WARShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02578106673226403151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-81327420008198219372011-10-27T13:52:55.061-04:002011-10-27T13:52:55.061-04:00Very suspicious.
