ONTARIO, IDAHO-- The EPA announced last Friday the addition of the Pacific Salmon to the Endangered Species List. In response to the news local State Senator, Helen P. Chenoweth, decided to hold a Barbeque so that “Everyone may have a taste of this majestic fish before they are gone forever.”

State Senator gives constituents a taste of the newly endangered Pacific Salmon. |
Chenoweth is a self proclaimed animal sympathizer. When asked about her activism in the past Chenoweth responded “When I found out that dolphins were on the Endangered Species List I had one stuffed and sent to every government founded museum in the country-just to insure that future generations may know what these swimming mammal thingies looked like.” adding, “They are the ones you can eat right?”
A large number of protesters were present at the BBQ but seemed to be quickly won over by offer of smoked salmon.
An estimated 4,000 salmon were served at the event, giving visitors a sense of urgency to return because according to EPA statistics the senator may only have enough salmon to host the event for seven more years.
When asked to comment about they event the EPA administrator, Lisa P. Jackson said “I have no idea what on earth would persuade a person to do such a horrendous thing-but the salmon cooked over cedar wood is fantastic!”
In unrelated news: Sarah Palin has announced she will write a dictionary for the tea party.
