Here was one moment of levity Saturday during the state Senate’s grilling of Alexander “Pete’’ Grannis, Gov. Spitzer’s nominee to head the Dept. of Environmental Conservation:
 Sen. Suzi Oppenheimer, D-Mamaroneck, Westchester County, complained of deer overpopulation and asked if the agency could do something to “prevent the deer from mating.’’
 After the giggles and murmurs subsided, Grannis replied: “Senator, while we regulate the hunting season, the mating season is probably beyond our control.’’
 That prompted another roar of laughter.

Would Suzi Oppenheimer please retire? Please?? She has no clout, no ambition to accomplish anything, and no sense – common or otherwise.
Programs to slow the birth rate among deer are actually not uncommon. Doesn’t seem like an outrageous question to me.
I wonder what position the deer have on human population.
I wonder if we’ll see folks out in their Sunday Best on Route 211 carrying signs that giving
deer sex ed or birth control is part of the Devil’s Plan?
