Good News For RepublicansFrom Iran, of all places. They are figuring out how to save Beluga Sturgeon from a non-native threat. (Belugas of course are the source of the caviar that I eat every day. Some people have a smear of them on toast points, but like a good Republican, I pile up a big 'ol caviar Sloppy Joe on a kaiser roll. But why am I telling you? You know. We all get the newsletter.) The threat is the mnemiopsis jellyfish, which depletes the plankton that the sturgeon feed upon: A recent study found an average of 37 mnemiopses in every square metre of water in the southern Caspian, he said. The plague has affected millions of people in fishing communities in the five countries that surround the sea -- Azerbaijan, Iran, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Russia. Thank God. Thank God. posted by LauraW. at 09:56 PM
CommentsNothing comforts me more than reading a story about "bioengineered assassins" from Iran. Posted by: ace on November 14, 2005 09:58 PM
You know the writer was all "ooh, I'm good" when he wrote "gelatinous assassins". Think you're getting the top google hit for that, buddy? Not any more! Posted by: See-Dubya on November 14, 2005 10:18 PM
These plans always tend to work out so well. "They'll just die out," mmmm'kay, we'll check in after a decade or so when we've found that dead jellyfish carcasses produce an unsual mold which is the favorite food of some crazy-ass beetle from South America that shouldn't have been there in the first place but is now devouring every crop from the Caspian Sea to the Gurbantunggut Desert in China. Wasn't there a Simpson's episode about this which ended with Springfield infested with giant lizards? Posted by: SomeJoe on November 14, 2005 10:24 PM
This is good news! I was down to my last 4 pounds, except for the emergency supply on my yacht. Happy days are truly here again! Posted by: bullwinkle on November 14, 2005 10:26 PM
Skinner: Well, I was wrong. The lizards are a godsend. Posted by: Enas Yorl on November 14, 2005 10:28 PM
Yeah, just you watch. When this plan fails, that's when Iran's going finally wheel out their secret nuke program as a final solution for the jewwwwww-- I MEAN JELLYFISH!!!! Posted by: Sortelli on November 14, 2005 10:32 PM
4 pounds? I have that much in my survival kit. Posted by: Dave in Texas on November 14, 2005 10:38 PM
Thank God! I was just starting to worry that caviar might skyrocket to $1000 an ounce! At those prices, my butler wouldn't be able to purchase it on his credit card and I might have to give him one of mine. The horror! Posted by: kbiel on November 14, 2005 10:45 PM
4 pounds? I have that much in my survival kit. 4 pounds is about 3 sammiches. By my reckoning, that means you'll only survive 6 hours. Posted by: lauraw on November 14, 2005 10:59 PM
4 pounds is about 3 sammiches. hey, when the shit hits the fan, I gots to move! it's just a small part of the kit. I have as many pounds of beef jerky as I do .45 cal. Posted by: Dave in Texas on November 14, 2005 11:10 PM
In 1983 Iran had to sell to Russia all their sturgeon catches until the 1952. Russian caviar just better than Iranian!!!. I can just say that on every poison there is an antidote.
How rudimentary! What I can say? Posted by: Peter on November 14, 2005 11:26 PM
Ah, 1893 should be instead of 1983. Sorry. Posted by: Peter on November 14, 2005 11:30 PM

You say mnemiopsis jellyfish, I say tomahto. It all comes down to ravenous giant jellypeople when it's all over. Hundreds of sci-fi books and movies available, and they have learned nothing. This is what happens when fundamentalists start banning books. God's number 2 ovary*, am I mad. * Natlamp ca: 1975 Posted by: Tom M on November 15, 2005 12:40 AM
*ahem* uhh...been drinkin', buddy? Posted by: lauraw on November 15, 2005 12:42 AM
Um, not drinking, actually... Still, all the movies, the books. They have not learned, because they have not seen. Posted by: Tom M on November 15, 2005 01:30 AM
Florida is full of critters someone thought would just die out when released into the wild. The critters proclivity for eating a particular other critter MAY simply be preference and availability. If I were faced with eating a closet full of chicken soup and cans of worms, the worms will lose until the chicken soup is 100% depleted - then I'd switch to the worms if that's all there was.

You gotta know that those American jellyfish are Republicans 'cause they are assassins. No self respectin' Liberal could be an assassin. As Republicans you know they will develop a taste for caviar and then the Iranians will be back to square one. Posted by: Steve on November 15, 2005 03:46 PM

Incumbent Senator John Cornyn (RINO - TX) betrayed his party and his country by voting in favor Biden's Afghan resettlement bill in 2021. Cornyn voted to bring in the Afghan who shot two National Guard soldiers on US soil. A vote for Cornyn is an endorsement of importing unvetted, radicalized murderers. [Buck]

Oh no! Hamas' de facto press agent at the UN complains that she can't use her credit cards or rent a card now that she's been sanctioned as a terrorist operative
Why does this keep happening to members of the "political organization" (per Tucker Carlson) of Hamas?!?!
Tucker Carlson claims that it's weird that Ted Cruz is interested in the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, because he has "no track record of being interested in Christians," then blows off the massacre of Christians by Nigerian Muslims, saying it might or might not be a real concern
Tucker Carlson enjoys using the left-wing tactic of "Tactical Ignorance" to avoid taking positions on topics. Is Hamas really a terrorist organization? Tucker can't say. He hasn't looked into it enough, but "it seems like a political organization to me." Are Muslims slaughtering Christians in Nigeria? Again, Tucker just doesn't know. He hasn't examined the evidence yet. He knows every Palestinian Christian who said he was blocked from visiting holy sites in Bethlehem, but he just hasn't had the time to look into the mass slaughter of Christians in Nigeria that has been going on since (checks watch) 2009. He doesn't know, so he can't offer an opinion. Wouldn't be prudent, you know? Don't rush him! He'll sift through the evidence at some point in the future and render an opinion sometime around 2044. Of course, if you need an opinion on Jewish Perfidy, he has all the facts at his fingertips and can give you a fully informed opinion pronto. Say, have you ever heard of the USS Liberty incident...? You'd think that the main issue for Tucker Carlson, who pretends to be so deeply concerned about Palestinian Christians being bullied by Jews in Israel (supposedly), would be the massacre of 185,000 Christians in Nigeria itself. But no, his main problem is that Ted Cruz is talking about it, "who has no track record of being interested in Christians at all." And then he just shrugs as to whether this is even a real issue or not. Whatever we do we must never "divide the right," huh? Tucker is attacking Ted Cruz for bringing the issue up because he's acting as an apologist for Jihadism, and he can't cleanly admit that Jihadists are killing any Christians, anywhere. There is no daylight between him and CAIR at this point. One might conclude that Tucker Carlson himself isn't interested in the plight of Christians -- except as they can be used as a cudgel to attack Jews. Just gonna ask an Interesting Question myself -- why is it that Tucker Carlson's arguments all track with those shit out by Qatarian propaganda agents and the far left? That if Jews crush an ant underfoot it is worldwide news, but when Muslims slaughter Christians it elicits not even a vigorous shrug?
Garth Merenghi is interviewed by the only man who can fathom his ineffable brilliance -- Garth Merenghi
From the comments: I once glimpsed Garth in the penumbra betwixt my wake and sleep. He was in my dream, standing afar, not looking my way, nor did he acknowledge me. But I felt seen. And that's when I knew I was a traveler on the right path. I'm glad he's still with us. Now that's some Merenghian prose. Garth Merenghi on the writer's craft Greetings, Traveler. If you still have not experienced Garth Merenghi -- Author, Dream-weaver, Visionary, plus Actor -- the six episodes of his Darkplace are still available on YouTube and supposedly upscaled to HD. (Viewing it now, it doesn't appeared upscaled for shit.) I think the second episode, "Hell Hath Fury," is the best by a good margin. Try to at least watch through to that one. It's Mereghi's incisive but nuanced take on sexism. Recent Comments
