She's claiming that "extreme environmentalists" are to blame for the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.<br /><br />Here's a link to an article about it at Huffington Post--<br />http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/03/sarah-palin-blames-enviro_n_598977.html<br /><br />Imagine that bobblehead of blather as vice president of the US!!!Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552083088916942937.post-2088266168330750132010-06-02T11:00:15.228-07:002010-06-02T11:00:15.228-07:00Well, I meant "deregulation" in that las...Well, I meant "deregulation" in that last comment, but "dergulation" is a good typo - it actually sounds like "strangulation."Julie https://www.blogger.com/profile/12811523890920763782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552083088916942937.post-72820899383745799392010-06-02T10:58:21.355-07:002010-06-02T10:58:21.355-07:00Pat - love the Dumbo/Dumba.

I can't begin to figure out how to help, or how to ask the people in charge of regulating the big companies to do a better job of protecting us and our environment. What a combination: dergulation plus a global economy, global carelessness, and global greed. Did you see the photo of a dragonfly with wings are covered in oil? <br />http://www.colorlines.com/articlepix/dragonfly.jpg<br /><br />--------------Julie https://www.blogger.com/profile/12811523890920763782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552083088916942937.post-12434624061401557932010-06-02T06:01:15.399-07:002010-06-02T06:01:15.399-07:00Julie,

Thank...These are GREAT--the names, the photos, wow! Thanks for sharing, Julie. (I'm usually a jellyfish fan, myself.) Oh, and speaking of octopuses, did you read about the mimic octopus? It uses its body the way we make shadows with our hands, forming the shapes of predators to scare away its own potential predators!Kate Coombshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10138566291199003171noreply@blogger.com
