What oil spill? You mean the one that nobody went to prison over, the media interestingly no longer reports on, and that Americans have largely forgotten about? That never happened, and if it did it wasn't serious. Keep buying BP gasoline, please.

I heard pelican is good eating, but it is a little greasy


/fly pelican fly! hey pelican!

Wow. For once I agree with the critics. That is a very beautiful and haunting picture.

Tap me on the shoulder when they're endangered. Until then, I don't care.

Trade you a green necklace for some oily pelican meat.

Indeed. Also, the world is stuffed full of pelicans. The non-oiled variety, too!

Too bad it slipped out of its beak.

How is this unfortunate that nature work it's wonder?

An oil spill is a natural event?

/not the BP oil spill. Some other one, another part of the world, don't worry about it.

Uh, subby... That's a photograph. Not a painting.

Hautman's blue-winged teal got the 29-cent. People don't much use the three-cent.

"If the Flintstones has taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement."

They look pretty cool like that. Can we keep them that way?

That pic's been my desktop since the day it appeared.

/next year I hope they choose the pelicans in the sweaters!

So you're gonna start saving for retirement at 55, right?

As I recall, the best barometer for ecosystem health is the number of "common species in decline". The ecological heavyweights carry a lot of metaphorical momentum. One can hope that PJ was kidding, but considering how many people in the real world hold that opinion--and then say, "Well, if they're so endangered, they're clearly too weak to make it. Natural selection, biatches!" when the species does become endangered--I'm not holding my breath in hope.

The good news is that our species' average intelligence and education level are rising. The bad news is that they're doing it on a generation-by-generation basis, whereas major changes need to be made now. But hey, maybe that means our descendents will be smart enough to find a way out of the hole we're deliriously chucking them into.

And if they aren't? Natural selection, biatches!

They need us to make them sweaters too!!!!
