Dolphins

Back up Taliban. Yeaaahhh, even you Osama. Move it!

Back in 2007, the Seattle media reported that the U.S. Navy intended to bring dolphins up to the Puget Sound in order to protect us and our ferry system from swimming terrorists that might try to invade us. Or blow up the aquarium.

Now, I didn't have a blog at the time...but I had plenty to say. Trained dolphins patrolling the Puget Sound, shooting terrorists before they can scuba their way up the ship canal into *omg* Lake Union? Apparently, the Navy in America's Finest City (San Diego) has been training sea life to protect us since the 1960s! Not smart human race...hasn't anybody seen Planet of the Apes?!?! Incidentally...Charleton Heston was a past president of the NRA, and we're training dolphins to use guns....

Earth loving seattlites didn't love the fact that the government was talking about exposing sun-loving dolphins to the frigid waters of the Northwest. Luckily, the crazies had plenty of time on their hands to form protest clubs and knit some warm clothing for the dolphins. Don't worry, all the homeless people in our city have plenty of clothes to survive the winters.

Today's Seattle Times brings this the dolphin issue back in to the limelight. I can only hope to see some knitters kick it back up a notch.

Personally, I think that there's much more going on than meets the eye. Why is Washington the only state getting a fleet of attack dolpins? How come they're all trained and housed in San Diego, the last major city before the mexican border? Why isn't Oregon getting any attack dolphins? Isn't it interesting that this is all happening now that the TERMINATOR is the governor of Callyfornia?! Hasta la Vista, Oregon! Once we have a fleet (flock, gaggle, pod?) of killer dolphins patrolling our coastline, WaCal will control the whole west coast of the US! Watch out Alaska, we've got an eye on you and your natural resources too.

In the meantime make sure you're adequately armed the next time you think about going swimming in the ocean. Stay classy, San Diego.
