Save the Planet -- Kill Shade Tolerant Aliens on Earthday

At least that's what the eco-loons had planned to do up at Hawk Mountain.

Not surprisingly the loonies in our area seem to have problems getting organized. Someone with the felicitous name of "Fairyhawk" is trying to organize a cleanup of Lebanon, PA. It must not be going very well because when I checked his website, it was down. Too bad, the town needs it.

No sign of the eco-freaks at the inner harbor either -- unless you count one lone Prius which seems to always be parked near the aquarium.

Up at Hawk Mountain the resident crazies had planned to celebrate Earth Day by fanning out across the ridge to kill "shade tolerant aliens." By that they meant garlic mustard plants. The trouble was that because of cold weather the plants had not bloomed, so they had to call off their "garlic mustard swat." Oh well, there's always next year.

Yes: I know, but irony is lost on these guys -- they're true believers who think that it is all right to condemn millions of third-world children to an early death in order to save the raptors.
