Whales, too? G*d damn, spoilsports.
"Angry Dolphins Strafe Beachgoers?" Cool. New word for me, Ishmael. Maybe, you should think about doing a "new word a day" link. I'm woefully behind now that Safire abandoned his "On Language" column.
I'll take that Corona with a lime.

Its always the well meaning that do the most damage. I hope PETA is going to help these dolphins and whales find new jobs. Its just like when they outlawed midget tossing in Florida.
Now what are the little people supposed to do for a living?
If it's anything like the stingray deal in the Caymans where you get to feed them, what I want to know is why PETA is OK with taking free food away from starving baby dolphins?
