Don't Feed the Bears


Newt Gingrich has called Barack Obama "the food-stamp President" because this U.S. Dept. of Agriculture program has more than doubled under his watch.  See the interesting table here.  Now, in a bit of government bureaucratic irony, the U.S. Forest Service has posted this equivalent notice in many of its National Parks:
Please don't feed the bears. They get used to this
source of food and then can't fend for themselves.
(Thanks to John B. for a heads-up to this tidbit.)
