According to this article from Treehugger.com ( I hate saying that), scientists were able to create a living embryo from an extinct species of frogs.
I like "frogs" as much as the next guy (can I get an Amen!?!) but I thought our national focus was on the woolly mammoth(?).
Who the heck is in charge of returning lost species to the planet anyhow?
That Obama has really dropped the ball on just about every front.
This is total B.S.

Look - you can either gear your science toward returning slimy amphibians who will do nothing but keep you awake at night and give you warts, OR, you can have big, fuzzy elephants.

It's a no-brainer here, people.

Do you want this:

"Duuuuuudddde......"

Or this:

It's an easy choice, folks.

All intelligent, free thinking, and fair minded people would find that the woolly mammoth is a far superior extinct life form than any old frog, of which we have plenty BTW.

Elephants are disappearing faster than a scoop of Ben and Jerry's in front of Adele so repopulating certainly wouldn't hurt AND, if things got really bad you could always eat them.

It's a win/win in my book.

There are far too few cuddly creatures that you could BBQ in a pinch.  

Not saying it's my first choice, just saying leave your options open.

Have you ever tried to barbecue a frog?

Horrendous.

That skin absolutely WILL NOT hold the sauce, I will tell you that from hard won experience, my friend.

A dry rub maybe, but definitely not the sauce.
