CORRECTION
Last week, in our listing of films for the whole family, we erroneously gave a G rating to the movie, “Snow White Does the Seven Dwarfs.” It should have been rated XXX. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
A Conversation
With ...


Gale Norton, Secretary of the Interior
IronicTimes: You've put photographs of offshore oil platforms on the walls of the Interior Department alongside the old photos of National Parks. Any other innovations?
Norton: Well, there's the Mining for Millions program, where we invite the CEO's of the top mining companies to compete for extraction rights in our National Parks by answering really easy questions.
IronicTimes: What are you doing in the area of wildlife protection?
Norton: We have an exciting new initiative, the Animal Early Warning Alert, where we go into a National Park weeks before an oil drilling operation is scheduled to begin and give the li'l critters plenty of advance notice.
IronicTimes: You've been an advocate of "multiple use" for our public lands. Is there anything besides mining and oil drilling you'd like to add to the mix?
Norton: Yes. Weapons testing.
