Around the 6:33 mark, the narrator/filmer, John Wathen, comes to a pod of 36 dolphins stranded in oil, “struggling just to breathe”. Another 18 are discovered later, and then A GODDMAN FUCKING SPERM WHALE TRAPPED IN OIL UP TO ITS GODDAMN BLOWHOLE. “Across his back we could see red patches of crude as if [...]

Policiticians are dirty ugly people, and even the best are awful. So while i have a lot of respect for Byrd’s dedication to the Constitution and his opposition to the Bush criminals… well, the less said about politics, the better.
What’s not so well-known about Robert Byrd was that he was a lifelong fiddle player, a [...]
