You can blame William, Shakespeare for all those greedy starlings gobbling at your bird feeder.
The species did not live here until, in the 1890s, when Eugene Scheifflen a wealthy New Yorker (1827-1906) released 100 of the birds in New Yorks Central Park as part of a project to bring all the birds mentioned in Shakespeares’ works to the United States.
Bryant Gumbel in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine brought up the National Rifle Association in a response to a question regarding his story on the Eat What You Kill hunting movement:
There are a few things I hate more than the NRA. I mean truly. I think they’re pigs. I think they don’t care about human life. I think they are a curse upon the American landscape. So we got that on the record. That said, I’m willing to separate that this story had nothing to do with that. It’s not a gun story. So I would like to think that I would have done it, but I don’t know. Obviously, that was my first experience around killing and guns and hunting.
So, we would like to ask Mr. Gumbel, whose fame comes from his descriptions of men playing children’s games, how many NRA members — figure 100 percent armed — commit murder versus non-NRA members with guns? Hmmm? Do you, Mr. Gumbel, have the guts to take on those who really are the ones who “don’t care about human life”?
And how do you feel about abortion?
