Will Migaloo be hunted?

Migaloo the Albino humpback whale could very well be on Japan’s hunt list this year. As I’ve pointed out many times before, I’m having a hard time getting my head around the Japanese mentality of their so called “scientific whaling” program.

This year the Japanese whale poaching fleet will hunt almost 1000 whales. Among these 1000 whales will be 50 humpbacks. Migaloo is a humpback, a very rare humpback. When the Japan Fisheries Agency was asked if Migaloo and other white whales were on the hunted list, they replied with a “no comment.” As we all know nowadays, “no comment” usually means “we did, and we don’t want to talk about it, so piss off.”

One of four things can happen during this year’s whaling hunt. The first one being the best outcome.
1. Japan renounces all whaling activities, and finally adheres to international law.
2. Japan still continues to illegally hunt whales, but publicly announces that Migaloo, along with other rare whales will be spared from their harpoons
3. Japan continues its hunt and risks reprisals from the international community.
4. Japan hunts, and kills Migaloo and suffers the risks and consequences of reprisals from so called “eco-terrorists.”

Japan must stop their illegal whaling activities. It’s time for them to wake up and realize that one day very soon there won’t be any whales left. And what will all of their “scientific whaling” data have proven then?

House Passes $50B Iraq Withdrawal Bill

House Democrats pushed through a $50 billion bill for the Iraq war Wednesday night that would require President Bush to start bringing troops home in coming weeks with a goal of ending combat by December 2008. Does this sound familiar?

Let me refresh your memory if you’ve forgotten the routine.

1. Bush asks for $X billion to fund the war in Iraq.

2. Congress passes a bill for a portion of what Bush asks for funding the war, with stipulations of a troop withdrawal.

3. Bush vetoes the bill when it hits his desk, saying that any stipulation of a troop withdrawal in Iraq is unacceptable.

4. Congress whines and moans about the veto.

5. Congress gives Bush the original amount he asked for in the first place.

This is just another of the same old song and dance from congress. They talk tough, but when it comes down to it, it just ends up being all talk. I’m tired and bored of this same old same old stuff. It’s time long over due for Pelosi to either take a shit or get off the pot. The people voted to end the war in Iraq, hence giving the Democrats power in Congress. But to this day all we’ve heard is talk. Bush asks, and Pelosi delivers.

Nice Job Nancy.

Blackwater, to Fight Drugs in America

Blackwater, the disgraced private security contractor gets tossed out of Iraq for illegal, excessive use of force and finds a new job fighting a different kind of war, drugs in America. Yup, the Pentagon is considering giving Blackwater Worldwide Security a $15 billion contract to provide “antidrug training missions” over five years to fight a narcotics trade that the government says finances terrorist groups.

How does this piece of information wind your watch? The war on terror comes to America in the form of a security contractor booted out of a country because of gross negligence, and instead of being disciplined, they up being rewarded with consideration for a fat government contract!

Same old tired song and dance coming from the Bushies. Nobody ever gets fired for doing an exceptionally shitty job, only promoted! So in other words a once petty possession misdemeanor could now get you killed in this country!

Goodbye freedom, hello Blackwater.

Another deadly toy that needs to be recalled

Of all the dangerous and deadly toys that have come out of China lately, there is one more that needs to be added to the list.

The 12″ talking Donald Rumsfeld doll! This toy is dangerous because it spouts bits of 28 of the former Defense Secretary’s news conferences! I can’t imagine who in their right mind would want one of these miniature lying machines, when all one has to do is turn on Fox News instead!

This is a 'slam dunk' useless doll

Which politician do voters want to see nude?

Yeesh, just the thought of this question makes me nauseas!

Apparently voters in Australia have nothing better to think about other than which of their elected officials they would like to see nude. The results of their poll are irrelevant, but let’s just say anybody who wants to see a 50 year old politician naked needs a hobby!

If any body called me asking to take part in a national poll where the question asked is “who would you most like to see naked, Bush, Cheney, Pelosi, etc. etc?” I’d hang myself with the phone cord!
