I can't imagine the Earth firsters that supported Obama are going to be thrilled with him taking a page from Sarah Palin. I thought trees are people, too - according to the liberal playbook?
The Obama administration has approved the sale of timber from the Tongass National Forest in Alaska.


I didn't know they had stopped logging the Tongass. The issue used to be the large federal subsidies required to make it profitable. The question now is will the logs go to Alaska mills or to mills (or storage) in Japan?
