To say nothing about the fact that they are getting the HELL away from the Godforsaken Solomon Islands (home of the next liberal cries for nation building).

Didn't the Solomons get leveled by a typhoon last year? I'm series. I vaguely remember reading something about them getting hit with 150+ mph winds and everything being swept away. There was some sort of screw-up with getting aid to the people that were left.....Australia wouldn't let the plane leave, or something.

If that's the case, then any $$ coming in, and any exports, I should think would be welcomed.

Not that it's incredibly important. Just Tuesday Morning musings.

or simply kiss and pet the dolphins for 489 pesos.

Some countries save people, others save dolphins. Forget WMD, we should have found Saddam abusing dolphins in the Persian Gulf! (sign change>NO WAR FOR DOLPHINS)

When the dramatic dolphin-free tuna campaign was going strong, my son asked me, "Mom, why are people discriminating against tuna?"

I guess the tuna will have to wait for Hollywood to do a film about them.

I thought dolphins were the naturally shark KILLERS, not their prey. These gay dolphins look to hide in the archapeligo against their "natural predators", the sharks. Do they have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy in their ranks as well?

Are tuna that dangerous, that you can't let your dolphins play with them?

Is this a tuna safe dolphin?
