A woman from Los Angeles who was a tree hugging, liberal Democrat
and an anti-hunter purchased a piece of timberland near Colville,
WA . There was a large tree on one of the highest points in the
tract. She wanted a good view of the natural splendor of her land so
she started to climb the big tree. As she neared the top she
encountered a spotted owl that attacked her. In her haste to escape,
the woman slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in
her crotch. In considerable pain, she hurried to a local ER to see a
doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist, a Democrat, and
an anti-hunter and how she came to get all the splinters.

The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told
her to go wait in the examining room and he would see if he could
help her. She sat and waited three hours before the doctor
reappeared. The angry woman demanded, "What took you so long?" He
smiled and then told her, "Well, I had to get permits from the
Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau
of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a
'recreational area' so close to a waste treatment facility. I'm
sorry, but due to Obama-Care they turned you down."
