A grizzly bear paternity suit? Not really.

Sorry, Senator McCain, there are worse examples of government waste than this grizzly bear study.

In fact, I think it's fascinating. Mystery writer Nevada Barr has given it a fictional treatment.

If McCain is going to invoke Teddy Roosevelt in his TV ads, do you suppose that he could imbibe some of TR's conservation ethic?

Well, I'm not sure if the bear project really should've cost $3 Million. But the McCain ad, although tear welling, certainly showed us how out of touch with the reality of regular Americans he is. It seems like McCain is primarily concerned about the war on terror, when most Americans are concerned about their diminishing living standards, foreclosing their home and losing their jobs.

McCain doesn't seem to have a good grasp on the economy. That much was evident when he was condescendingly chiding Romney for stating that business owners were leaders in our society.

The issue with the bear project is simple: it isn't the Federal government's job to be tracking the precise number of bears we have in Montana. You can assign that to the state government, you can assign that to various universities of the region. You can't assign it to the federal government.

Sorry, but McCain is spot on here.
