Remember those terrible jokes in kids’ magazines like Boys Life, Highlights, and Barely Legal that paired a fake book title with a clever(ish) author’s name? Think: No More Broccoli! by Kurt Child, or Succeeding as a Lawyer by Sue Yu.
Well, Ann Forest Burns just happens to be the spokeswoman for the American Forest Resource Council, a coincidence that makes this superhero smile. The AFRC is a clever(ish)ly-named timber industry group opposed to President Obama’s reversal of a Bush policy that doubled the amount of logging allowed… Oregon forests… endangered owls… old-growth— Okay, seriously, no one cares.
Whole snorrific NYT article here.
Five minutes’ worth of third-grade name humor here.
