People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

That is a HUGE pile of dog shit. Chilean sea bass is not endangered, and is perfectly legal and available in the USA.

And WTF anyway? Most conservatives would gorge themselves on California Condor, if they could manage to shoot one.

Probably more likely an example of someone in his family saying "yes" to the caterer when they suggested Chilean Sea Bass, or Toothfish, or Merluza Negra, or Mero. I'm sure that Northern Spotted Owl was next on Al's personal menu. It goes well with a nice Pinot.

No. This would be an example of a far left wing over reaction and the parroting of such by ditto heads that don't know any better in an attempt to say "gottcha!" which then turns it into far right wing media attack.

It was a question. Sorry you all seem so upset by it.

Tissue?

[mr2mk1g 10]

From the article: "It has been estimated that more than 50 per cent of toothfish traded is illegally caught..."

So... 50% of them are legally caught... and thus presumably legally bought and eaten by folk like Gore; or you and me for that matter.

Methinks someone's jumped the gun somewhat in branding Gore on this one unless they can demonstrate his daughters nuptial fare was poached.

Besides... he's campaigning about global warming, not diminishing fish stocks. These fish are supposedly endangered because of over-fishing, not because of climate change. They're two entirely un-related issues, albeit both of a green hue.

Now if someone were to bitch about the "carbon footprint" of these Southern Ocean fish which were presumably flown all the way from the Southern Hemisphere up to his daughters wedding - now THEN they'd have a point.

Does the Possum Queen just lay there playing dead while being banged?

You know...playin possum?

Possum stew is probably kinda nasty, let alone possum icecream


Sounds like an episode of Iron Chef, Florida Cracker.

I'm definitely a hypocrite then! I not only eat sea bass, but tuna - and occasionally chicken! I'm sure some chickens are grown and slaughtered illegally.

Of course, come to think of it, I'm a hypocrite in many areas. I skydive - but I also am pretty big on safety. A deathwish skydiver, who claims to be "safe!" What a hypocrite! Who'd take ME seriously?

When I jump, I jump a heavily loaded elliptical canopy, one that lands going pretty fast even when landed straight in. Yet I bitch when someone else does a 270 through traffic! What a hypocrite! Smash, tinkle.

I've also worked on trucking safety systems, like panic-button systems that call dispatchers when the driver has a heart attack or the truck is hijacked, and warning systems that will warn truckers that they're approaching a low overhang or a bridge that cannot handle the weight of the truck. But in the past I've designed cellphones, which as everyone knows CAUSE accidents! What a hypocrite!

Heck, I even push conservation. At Otay, for example, I've made hundreds of jumps, using hundreds of gallons of fuel. Yet I push fuel conservation, and installed a solar power system that's saved a few thousand gallons of propane so far. What a hypocrite!

Not a joke at all. I have written nothing in this thread I wish to retract.

This species is overfished, with massive underreporting making stock management impossible. Eating a fish whether legally caught or not contributes to the problem here.

Some of the responses highlight the double standard. Eating a legally caught fish does not lessen the impact on the stock.

Expect to hear about fish offsets any day now.

It's pretty tasty. Chilean seabass stocks are under siege for good reason. Esp good pan fried in a simple butter sauce.

Are you referring to yourself in the third person, or did you really hear this from Rush Limbaugh?
