Whales

by

So, I finally got around to turning my calendar over to the month of February this morning.  It’s a nature based one, and this month has a whale majestically propelling itself out of the deep blue, much like this one.

A cool event here with a whale.  Playing hide-and-seek…gotta love it.

This once again proves that we know very little about wildlife and how they can display compassion.

Greenpeace is still fighting the good fight. 

This bears repeating:  the sad story of seagulls attacking the whales. Argentina has this plan to thwart them, but I think it’s not really addressing the reason behind the gulls’ attacks.  Something has caused them to begin attacking eight years ago…I hope that they’re going to test the dead gulls for mercury and other toxins, since it’s been documented that the birds are pretty messed up with mercury.  This would explain why they suddenly began this eight years ago–the rubbish aspect doesn’t really make sense to me because we’ve had garbage around for decades…why now?

Finally, a wonderful story here. The will to survive never ceases to amaze me…no matter how we screw up, nature still tries to come back.  Awesome.

More on Education

…wow, there’s something going on when there are so many education posts in 24 hours.

Link here and here .

I should mention the connection between the Bushes and the McGraw-Hill publishing house that publishes education texts and materials.

I picked up my college history book to look at the reference to Ronald Reagan again.  It was a glowing report on him without much critical analysis of his actions nor was it all inclusive of his destruction of the Fairness Doctrine, unions, consolidation of the media markets, etc. I looked at the publisher: McGraw-Hill .

More on the profiteering by the Bushes here.

Yep, where there’s money to be made and destruction of society…you’ll find the Bushes and Cheneys….

I’m just a bill on Capitol Hill…

PRWatch has this up.  Those of us of a certain age will recall the original (they have a link to it, too.)  Ahhh…remember when they were actually trying to inform people of the government process?  And civil rights?  My older sisters took Civics classes…by the time I reached high school, some five years later…no civics classes—just government class.  And it didn’t even hit me what had happened until I went to college, and one of my professors began asking the class if they knew their rights.  None of them did.

Correction

Boy, is my face red…

I realized last night that my post on Romney’s tax returns was ass backwards.  I should have added the $7,000 standard deduction instead of subtracting it.  Geesh.   And no, I wasn’t smoking anything.  Stupid dyslexia rearing its ugly head…

Anyway, I’ve edited the post.
