Greenpeace Weeps
I look at my Sushi, see the Whale there that’s cheaping
While my GreenPeace gently weepsI don’t know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.
I don’t know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
With every mistake you show no sign of learning
Look at you all…Still my GreenPeace gently weeps.

EAT MORE WHALE—BUT DROP PORK FROM YOUR MENU! (Would I
lie to you?)
If you pours Coke (yes, the soda) on a slab of pork, wait a little while, you will SEE WORMS crawl out of it.A message from the Health Corporation of Singapore about the Bad effects of pork consumption. Pig’s bodies contain MANY TOXINS, WORMS and LATENT DISEASES.
Although some of these infestations are harboured in other animals, modern veterinarians say that pigs are far MORE PREDISPOSED to these illnesses than other animals. This could be because PIGS like to SCAVENGE and will eat ANY kind of food, INCLUDING dead insects, worms, rotting carcasses, excreta including their own, garbage, and other pigs. INFLUENZA (flu) is one of the MOST famous illnesses which pigs share with humans. This illness is haboured in the LUNGS of pigs during the summer months and tends to affect pigs and human in the cooler months.
Sausage contains bits of pigs’ lungs, so those who EAT pork sausage tend to SUFFER MORE during EPIDEMICS of INFLUENZA. Pig meat contains EXCESSIVE quantities of HISTAMINE and IMIDAZOLE compounds, which can lead to ITCHING and INFLAMMATION; GROWTH HORMONE which PROMOTES INFLAMMATION and growth; sulphur containing mesenchymal mucus which leads to SWELLING and deposits of MUCUS in tendons and cartilage, resulting in ATHRITIS, RHEUMATISM, etc.
Sulphur helps cause FIRM human tendons and ligaments to be replaced by the pig’s soft mesenchymal tissues, and degeneration of human cartilage.
Eating pork can also lead to GALLSTONES and OBESITY, probably due to its HIGH CHOLESTEROL and SATURATED FAT content. The pig is the MAIN CARRIER of the TAENIE SOLIUM WORM, which is found in its flesh. These tapeworms are found in human intestines with greater frequency in nations where pigs are eaten. This type of tapeworm can pass through the intestines and affect many other organs, and is incurable once it reaches beyond a certain stage. One in six people in the US and Canada has TRICHINOSIS from eating trichina worms, which are found in pork.
Many people have NO SYMPTOMS to warm them of this, and when they do, they resemble symptoms of many other illnesses. These worms are NOT noticed during meat inspections.Posted by Oink

Thankfully I only occasionally spew Pepsi on the screen when The
’s posts are up. I’d hate to have crawly things coming out of the monitor.
I know that the Chinese will cook and eat anything but the Japanese seem to like to eat it raw.
Sounds to me like they’re blubbering about too much of a bad thing. [Howzat, Skipper?]
Y’all enjoy your cruelty-free, bacon/sausage-free breakfast? I still have that great guital riff (#2,above) running thru my mind. Kerr: The Bush-haters offer a terrific Monitor-Squeegee, useful for cleaning slobber & spittle from your screen. Might work with blubber(ing), too.

If Japan could get McDonald’s to add whale to their menu, I’m sure whale meat consumption would skyrocket! Image Whale McNuggets with fries and a Coke. Mmmmmm fries.....
Hmmmm, is there a certain “continuity” between this topic and the fat sep lez pig topic?
Blubber, blubber, lots of blubber.
Nuke the unborn gay baby whales for Jesus.
Politicians and diapers need to be replaced regularly and for the same reason!
Now, that’s one whale of a tale
That’s what they get, for not buying our beef.
Send the surplus Moby Steaks to Rwanda or Dharfur, they could use a little more vitles around there, and I bet they won’t be so darn finicky.
Let me rephrase my previous posting:
Nuke the unborn gay baby whales for Mohammed.
Might as well as offend as many that I can, at the same time
While we’re abusing Beatle songs, here goes:
“everybody’s got sonething to hide, except for me and my Minke...”
Gawd, I love to harp oon this subject
OCM,
I really like that thingamajigger next to your sig that draws your face. Seriously cool. But.....(wait for it)....I wouldn’t want to b-lubber the point.
(Its about the best I can do, Skipper. Ya can only work with what you’re given.)
DogBiscuit: Aside from being full of

When they can’t refute the facts they turn on spelling and typos. It’s a pattern I noticed at a site that has since gone completely ‘round the bend.
If you really cared about spelling or grammar you’d apply it to your own pathetic blog, dog biscuit. Yes, I was today’s hit. From reading the front page I don’t believe you have more than a nodding acquiantance with reality ... beyond box cakes, chocolat frosting and Harry Potter, that is.
DogBiscuit: Go away little man. People: Hold the recognition and abuse down, maybe he’ll go away on his own. I’m going to ignore him, until (HA!) he learns manners.
I am not a whale-worshipper, but I am a believer in conservation, and ashamed about the way we almost hunted them to extinction.

If you’re talking to me, I don’t have a blog so I have no idea how much I’d have to write to give an impression of who I am. I’m willing to bet that I read more of your cark than you did of this site.
It would appear that after two and a half years you’ve run out of anything to say but that fact doesn’t appear to have stopped you from nattering on and on. No, I won’t be sifting through it for any possible pearls of wisdom, thanks just the same.
Who is this “Cap’n” you seem to be addressing? If you’re referring to The Skipper, I’m reasonably certain tha he has read Moby Dick, as I have, and we both know what whales are made of. Tell us about ambergris and why the “Right Whale” got that name. I can hardly wait.
You seem to have a reading comprehension disabilty, dog biscuit. Is it the Vicodin or the withdrawal that has you dizzy? Of course, it could be your natural state, being “progressive” and all…
Yes, to settle your poor frazzled little mind, I do know the difference between meat and fat, meat and blubber and meat and potatoes, for that matter. I’m also aware of spermiceti, ambergris and baline and some of their former applications.
Now, go lie down.
Nag, nag, nag! God Of Biscuits, if all the world’s problems could be solved by everyone knowing the difference between whale meat and whale blubber, I’m sure you’d be King Of The World by now. I fail to see where I compared (much less equated) whale meat to whale blubber. Aren’t you reaching here? If these guys are “vampiric and parasites”, I can’t wait to hear what you think I am. Go ahead and give it your best shot, since you’re obviously in ad hominem mode today. We wouldn’t want to discuss issues would we, when attacking people is more fun, right? Fucking DIPSHIT!
Skipper: Have we ever had a polite, rational liberal guest? (Not counting OCM, since he doesn’t know where he is half the time.) Conservatives certainly can be jerks, but are liberals worse, or is it that they appear so in contrast to their rhetoric about tolerance & acceptance? They really only tolerate certain pre-approved groups. Maybe they despise the far right Evangelicals because they are the competition—their only disagreement is on which group to stifle.
Imagine being captured by cannibals; they tell you to relax, they’re only going to eat your fat—not your meat. Naturally, Skipper, some would have more to worry about than others.

Oink, I have no idea where this drug-induced Liberal mundacity is coming from. I am supposed to have “whored myself out to salon.com” and written all kinds of crap that this weasel objected to. Two things: (1) I haven’t been near salon.com and (2) this jerk needs a better class of drugs.
As for “rational”, I have a feeling mister God Of Biscuits wouldn’t know a rational thought if it slapped him in the face. What a jerk ....
I’m having some problems imagining the Skipper moonlighting at Salon.com. Can you give us a link?
Biscuit: What an idiot! Your link returns a “404: Not Found” HTML error. Wise up, pissant! Quit jerking us around and give us a link on salon.com where I supposedly posted. Cut the crap. You are in the real world here, dumbass. Now act rationally or we will be forced to conclude that you are just full of shit. Which may be a foregone conclusion in this case.
Then there’s using preview to see if your link worked. You know, like closing the tag and such. Reality bites, don’t it?
I’d like to know why a pdf that you made is better than a link to the actual web page. Seems like a whole lot of trouble to go to to prove(?) a point.
Aha! Finally found it. You have a typo in your URL, jackass! This appears to be some sort of roundup of posts from blogs that salon.com gathered together. I’m flattered that they included me with LGF and Glenn Reynolds. That must mean I’m an important blogger, as opposed to your puny pissant self. How many hits did your blog get today, weasel? Three? Four? Gosh, you’ve been blogging for three years and you’ve had a whopping 115,832 visitors. I’m impressed. It must get lonely over there. You really need to get out more often. There’s a whole bunch of people outside your head. Really!
Now, getting back to your original point (way back there in never-never land somewhere), I gather you object to whale blubber being referred to as “meat”. Is that correct, Pez-Head? You don’t think blubber is meat and your mission in life is to make this clear to all the Great Unwashed of the world? Do you not have anything better to do with your miserable little life?
For your edification, here is the definition, according to Merriam-Webster:
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/blubber
Main Entry: “blubber”
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English bluber bubble, foam, probably of imitative origin
1 a : the fat of whales and other large marine mammals b : excessive fat on the body
2 : the action of blubbering“Fat” is defined as follows:
Main Entry: “fat”
Function: noun
1 : animal tissue consisting chiefly of cells distended with greasy or oily matter“Meat” is defined as follows:
Main Entry: meat
Pronunciation: ‘mEt
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English mete, from Old English; akin to Old High German maz food
1 a : FOOD; especially : solid food as distinguished from drink b : the edible part of something as distinguished from its covering (as a husk or shell)
2 : animal tissue considered especially as food: a : FLESH 2b b : FLESH 1a; specifically : flesh of domesticated animalsFrom these definitions we can discern that fat is animal tissue and meat is animal tissue and blubber is fat, so blubber is animal tissue, which is meat.
The second definition of “blubber” above applies to you, dickhead.
P.S. I never submitted anything to salon.com. I seriously doubt Glenn Reynolds did either. We both have better things to do. Salon.com is obviously creeping around the blogosphere, kidnapping posts from other bloggers without permission. I may have to have a word with them. Thanks for the tip.
Skipper. Altho you were right in general about Trolls from the site, in this case my fears were true. If that’s where he came from—all we got was a sad misinformed kid. Where are the real Kick-Ass Liberals, **that got some crunch to them, that go for your throat and testicles without personal insults and profanity?
** An example of deliberate bad grammar used to strengthen my informal, discursive narrative style.

Hmmn, he’s taller than I had imagined.
Biscuit, you seem to have it all figured out, don’t you? You know what we’re thinking. You know everything about everything. You come romping in here throwing out accusations blindly and you express outrage when people call you for being a little too belligerent and determined to express anger no matter what people say to you.
For starters, you have no idea what my prupose was in that entry until I tell you what my purpose was. You cannot read minds. That is why we talk to each other - to figure out what our purposes and agendas are. Let me put it to you this way: Greenpeace has been fighting the Japanese whalers at every turn for years and have made complete fools out of themselves every time.
Now, according to the news article I referenced in the post, the Japanese have a glut of whale meat and the Japanese population is turning away from the meat as a diet staple. According to the article, many Japanese even call the taste of whale meat distasteful.
So you see, Greenpeace won the battle with the Japanese not by their concerted and and often foolish antics but by simply letting nature take its course. The Japanese whalers saturated the market and now there is no market for the food, e.g. they’re pretty much out of business.
Why was it entitled “Greenpeace Weeps”? Because of the sheer irony of the outcome. Try to wrap your mind around what I said in the paragraphs above and you might understand. There is nothing in this to do with moral any ground, high or low, and the last time I checked these pages are open for anyone to see. Membership is not required. That is why we have over 2,500 visitors every day from over 190 countries around the world. Most people on this planet have common sense and are rational. These people easily see the references I made in the post and understand it was not an attack on Greenpeace or the Japanese. It was a statement on human ignorance when it comes to dealing with each other and how we often achieve our goals not by our efforts but by simply letting the other guy act stupid.
Ponder that last sentence and see if you can grasp the relationship to the situation between GreenPeace and the Japanese. And while you’re at it, you might understand what a perfect ass you’re making of yourself here. Nothing personal but I think you need to take care of that beam in your eye before you complain about the mote in my eye.
And lo, the pearls were placed in offering ....
DogB: You managed not to use the F word once—You deserve an answer. Sorry I’m tired; did chores, shopping, & attended a concert—chamber orchestra, Mozart & Handel. More tomorrow. Like my good friend OCM, I’m not a Conservative; I’m a Libertarian.
OCM & I surely prefer trees to shopping malls & I think our ancestors were pigs. (at least mine) I also believe the environmental move provided a home for some, communism no longer being popular. The organization could stand a good satirizing. Especially those that hate all business, but expect their lights & heat to work
Tired. Tomorrow. /s/ OINK << And BOY, have these BMEWS Axxholes regularly hog-roasted me.

Check the archives, all of those subjects have been discussed in some form or another.
Stop applying your own prejudices to people you don’t know. I don’t listen to Rush or Air America. Careful, though, on Ann Coulter. We all think she’s a babe and swear that we’re not intimidated by bright women.
You came charging onto this site after reading something somewhere else that had been taken out of context (The intro and the AP article were not separated from each other) and began berating everyone in sight. Go look at your first post. Consider that it wasn’t deleted and you’re not banned. Consider that I got banned from this “progressive” site for a helluva lot less. (I disagreed and told them how to do better next time. In an email exchange I was accused of crapping on the rug.)
I took the posting to be goofing on the Japanese and their insistence on whale hunting. It appears to have blown back in their faces. (I enjoy watching people choke on their own poison.)
I support the idea behind Greenpeace but I have found over the years that Greenpeace goes too far and I cannot support many of their actions. An example would be them crashing their ship into a coral reef that they were supposedly trying to protect. They did more damage to the reef with their ship than anything else had done in years. In short, I don’t trust zealots of any stripe.
I have more to say but I’ll let you say it instead:
“Or should we, say, just leave New Orleans and New Orleanians to nature and let nature take her own course with them?
Your tactics are quite Coulter-like. Accuse others of something you (hopefully! yikes!) know is not true, just to make them defend themselves against the strawman you threw down.”
2 warnings, Bisq:
If you mock OCM you mock me. He’s our occasional pain-in-the-ass, dues paid in full. Unlike you.
You cannot win an argument here by saying Rush Limbaugh, conservative, right-winger, Abra-cadabra, Hocus Pocus, or Shazaam. Just don’t work --- you gotta use ideas. Unlike liberal blogs.

Au contraire, mon ami! I am that interesting. People come from miles around to listen to wisdom at The Skipper’s feet. It’s a pity you are deaf.
Yes, I am an egomaniacalmaniac! Are you happy now?
No, I have no respect for you, you blithering idiot. You harp on one subject and continue to blather on about one topic that seems to suit you you, sniveling idiot. I hope you’re entertaining yourself.
Fucking creep! You badger people until they get angry with you. Is that what you call “progressive”? You are a mindless idiot with one agenda in mind. Harass people until they throw you out the door. Well, keep it up. You betray yourself with each word.
No, you have arrive at nothing but a pitiful end of a miserable attack. You really need to get a life, dipshit. You are a sad case of lack of intelligence. Are you a Democrat, by chance? Married to Hillary? Or just full of shit? Enjoy your mental masturbation. That’s all you have left, isn’t it?
DOGBISQUIT: (I’M SHOUTING) YOU ARE A REAL DISAPPOINTMENT. YOU BEHAVE LIKE A STEREOTYPE LIBERAL, NOT LISTENING OR RESPONDING, INSULTING ANYONE YOU DISAGREE WITH, AND SHOUTING ‘CONSERVATIVE’ AS IF IT ENDED THE ARGUMENT.
WE’VE BEEN TOLERANT TOWARDS YOU—OTHER BLOGS WOULD HAVE KICKED YOUR IMMATURE BEHAVIOR OFF.

Err, I think he has completely used up his welcome, Oink. Somehow I don’t think we’ll be hearing from dog biscuit again.
Kerr—Yes, he traded insults with the wrong man, The Skipper. But there is always hope that he isn’t the sort who takes tolerance as a sign of weakness. My heart couldn’t take it if he responded, “You’re right, here’s my argument.”.

His mind was made up before he got here. He lied and denied (the bad link, for one example). There’s not much hope for that one.
I hate it when I screw up, but I face up to it. My face may get red to the ears but it helps me avoid similar circumstances in the future.
Yep. I learned from the stock market that being wrong is seldom fatal IF you recognize it and take corrective action quickly. Fatal: “I’m really right, it’s just that the market hasn’t admitted it yet.”
