Today was going to cover several gubernatorial candidates and how I will defend until my death every statement made about them, their quotes, and my opinion of them. However, I noticed a much more amusing article about how Afghanistan has an "EPA" of its own.
Excerpt:
KABUL — Afghanistan's fledgling conservation agency moved Sunday to protect one of the world's rarest birds after the species was rediscovered in the war-ravaged country's northeast.
The remote Pamir Mountains are the only known breeding area of the large-billed reed warbler, a species so elusive that it had been documented only twice before in more than a century.
Excerpt over. Aside from this warbler there is a sparrow like "Afghan Snowfinch", a rather colorful "Bohemian Waxwing" which, while not native to Afghanistan, does call it home, and Afghanistan is also known to have flamingos, which if you don't know what they are crawl out of your rock and go to Disney World.
