Officials are still trying to sort out what to do about a dead 40-foot fin whale that washed ashore last week in Malibu, creating a big stink.

The spit of sand is at the foot of a towering cliff, below Barbara Streisand's neighborhood that features massive estates of groomed lawns, swimming pools and tennis courts.

If you’re going to use words like “milieu,”

Ok, come clean, you had to look up the word "soiree," didn't you?

I once saw video from a similar situation to this. Their remedy was to blow up the whale carcass with a bunch of TNT. I suppose that breaks it down into a more manageable size(s), but it surely couldn’t be easy to clean up. When that thing blew, pieces of it literally went all over the area where the whale was located. I’m sure it didn’t improve the smell any either. That place will probably stink for weeks, even after the whale is removed.

(couldn’t happen to a better group of people out there)

I thought this story was about Michael Moore or Rosie O’Doughnut.

Have a theory about limousine liberals — the arrogant snobs treat everyone like crap 99% of the time and then try to make themselves feel good about themselves by pushing the liberal agenda the remaining 1% of the time. To liberals, the 1% justifies the 99%.

Funny how it always about other peoples money, too. A 10 million dollar estate in Malibu would buy a lot of food for inner city poor children.

A classic! From Wikipedia on the incident:
[A military veteran from Springfield with explosives training, Walter Umenhofer] had known that 20 cases of dynamite was far too much dynamite to be used. Instead of 20 cases they needed 20 sticks of dynamite. Umenhofer said Thornton [the engineer in charge of the project] was not interested in the advice. However, by an odd coincidence, it was Umenhofer's brand-new Oldsmobile that was flattened by a flying chunk of blubber after the blast. He told Lode he had just bought the Ninety-Eight Regency at Dunham Oldsmobile in Eugene, during the "Get a Whale of a Deal" promotion.

Folks, tragic irony doesn't get much more tragic or ironic than that.

I get this mental picture of all these celebtards running around, hands to the sides of their heads, screaming “Make it stop!”

Perhaps that is G*d’s version of the wrapped dead fish - a message to Hollyweird’s commies?

Egads! Liberalism is having a creeping effect on my thinking, because...

...I hadn't thought of that. Probably some endangered species law that bans "windfall" opportunities, lemons-into-lemonade, etc.

Typical la-la land. Everybody just stands around trying to figure out who’s responsible.

LOL! What delicious irony.
