GISHWHES 2014 List of Items

For those of you who can’t access the GISHWHES list on the official website, here’s the rebloggable tumblr backup. It will be useful in case of apocalyptic disaster (i.e. the official website crashes). Includes item numbers and point values. I will update this post when important amendments are revealed. The item list might not be easy to find anywhere else after the hunt ends, but this post will stay up indefinitely, for the purposes of nostalgia/reference/general minionly misconduct.

Happy hunting, Gishers! Be brave!

GOP Platform Proposes To Get Rid Of National Parks And National Forests

By Jenny Rowland / Think Progress 7/15 The Republican platform committee met this week to draft the document that defines the party’s official principles and policies. Along with provisions on pornography and LGBT “conversion therapy” is an amendment calling for the indiscriminate and immediate disposal of national public lands.

The inclusion of this provision in the Republican Party’s platform reflects the growing influence of and ideological alliance between several anti-park members of the GOP and anti-government extremists, led by Cliven Bundy, who dispute the federal government’s authority over national public lands.

“Congress shall immediately pass universal legislation providing a timely and orderly mechanism requiring the federal government to convey certain federally controlled public lands to the states,” reads the adopted language. “We call upon all national and state leaders and representatives to exert their utmost power and influence to urge the transfer of those lands identified.”

The provision calls for an immediate full-scale disposal of “certain” public lands, without defining which lands it would apply to, leaving national parks, wilderness areas, wildlife refuges, and national forests apparently up for grabs and vulnerable to development, privatization, or transfer to state ownership.
