With the dove hunting bill once again mired in the morass of state politics, 
here's another small piece of advice for Gov. Jennifer Granholm. Since you 
seem to agree with the people who can't understand why anyone would want to hunt 
doves, why not ask someone you obviously admire, and who once gave this 
description of how he prepares these tasty birds? 
"You clean them. Let them hang. It takes three or four birds to have a meal. 
You might eat it at a picnic cold-roasted. I love doves." 
The speaker? John Kerry, the Democratic presidential candidate you endorsed 
and were hugging when he passed through Michigan a few weeks ago. Kerry is an 
enthusiastic dove hunter. He also hunts quail, pheasants, deer and waterfowl. 
The above quote comes from an interview he did with the Washington Post. 
The dove bill passed the state Senate last week, but it was returned to the 
House for concurrence before it could go to the governor for her signature. 
Granholm has said she will veto any bill that doesn't include a referendum next 
fall in which voters could decide whether we should hunt the birds in Michigan.
