I awoke yesterday from a long sleep, deeply disappointed to see that my good friend and former copulatory industry angel investor and visionary, George Doubleyou Bush, has flip flopped on an crucial issue. He has signed documents recently creating the largest marineland national monument in the Hawaiian archipelago, preserving a unique ecosystem for generations to come. This is disturbing for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, you hate to see a world leader of his stature flip flop on any issue. You stake a claim and hold on to it fast. But this is the kind of flip flop that will resonate loudly both domestically and internationally. My goodness, what will our enemies think? This morning, his spine looks to have the tensile strength of an overcooked piece of rigatoni.
Secondly, and most importantly, I can't imagine a worse setback in the global war on evolution. Everybody knows that islands are hotbeds of evolution and speciation. This decision preserves not just one, but several isolated ecosytems upon which evolutionary processes will run completely unchecked. This sets back any hopes of stomping out evolution in our childrens' life time, something we'll need to accomplish ruthlessly and deliberately, one archipelago at a time, if we have any hope of success.
Finally, in this decision, he shows an uncanny ability to ignore and jettison his political base on the right for obviously expedient, but unclear, political purposes. We elected him because he promised to protect our homeland from the evil forces of evolution. Through this flip flop, he has forsaken us when we least expected it.

Actually, it's human interference that is impairing evolution. Your claim that protecting ecosystems stops evolution is baseless, and you seem to be missing the point all together.
Dear Greengop blogger colleague
--Thank you ever so much for your considered and expert opinion. I will take your advice and see if I can reformulate my hypothesis in a way that recognizes your intense concerns.
I promise to do much better my very best next time.
ps. FYI, I have found that if I sleep at night in a bed surrounded with the dried leaves from that big banyon tree in Lhaina, my dreams are not troubled by the spirits of evolution. You should try it some time.
Love
Blader, aka Fearless Leader
