Moby Dick is a good read. It bogs down at times in overly-specific descriptions of the 18th century whaling practices, but it has great chapters to balance it out.

I suspect the current Japanese whaling industry lacks some of the 'romance' of those previous days depicted by Melville.

Kill it, cut it, eat it. No excuse for the need for whale oil (baleen?) for a source of light and energy.

Just people who think it tastes good. And that eating tiger *beep* makes you good in bed.

Great.

Ah, now comes the vegetarians vs. the meat eaters who don't eat whales, tigers, or dogs but love beef, pork, chicken, lamb ...



Now, watch one of Ron Paul's economic advisors, Peter Schiff:

The Ron Paul campaign, and Ron Paul himself, are the only candidate and campaign team with an understanding of economics. They are the only one's that can deal with the problems we are facing.

Of the original big 11 Republican candidates (there were actually dozens of other minor Republican candidates for Pres.) there are now only 3 left. Romney got tired of spending his own money to confuse the campaign, fool the media into creating make believe supporters and buy an election.

Down to business. Ron Paul's campaign already has a minimum of 42 delegates. With Romney's fake campaign effort over, can Huckabee and Paul stop McCain from getting a majority of delegates before the convention? Will McCain fall like Thompson, Giulinani and Romney, the other media created leaders?

Ron Paul National Delegate Count Now 42 or More

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 6, 2008


ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA � With the results of many of the �Super Tuesday� primaries and caucuses now finalized, the Ron Paul campaign is now projecting that it has at least 42 delegates to the national convention secured.


While much of the focus in yesterday�s Super Tuesday contests focused on preference poll numbers, Ron Paul caucus-goers were focused on securing delegates to the national convention. With dedicated supporters and an organization focused purely on securing delegates, the campaign has secured more delegates to the national convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul than caucus straw polls might otherwise suggest.

According to campaign projections, a minimum of 24 delegates were won in yesterday�s contests. When added to projected delegates coming from strong showings in Iowa (4), Nevada (, Louisiana (3) and Maine (3), that brings the total delegate count to 42 delegates or more.

�Our goal has always been to walk into the national GOP convention with as many delegates as possible,� said Ron Paul 2008 campaign manager Lew Moore. �The number of delegates we won yesterday could very well be the difference in a Convention where no one has a first-ballot majority. With Dr. Paul�s home state of Texas coming up, we feel we can enter the convention with a substantial number of delegates.�

In an agreement first reported by West Virginia television station WSAZ, three Ron Paul delegates were secured through an agreement with the Mike Huckabee campaign at the West Virginia state convention early Tuesday. Ron Paul delegates to the state convention swung their sizable support to Huckabee � putting Huckabee over the top � in exchange for the delegates.

According to campaign projections from last night�s results at least 3 delegates were won in Alaska, 5 delegates were won in North Dakota, 9 delegates were won in Minnesota, and 4 delegates were won in Colorado.

Additionally the results of the Louisiana Caucus may still change in favor of Ron Paul, where an ongoing legal challenge may result in most of that state�s delegates going towards Ron Paul after state GOP officials violated their own rules to improperly put delegates from other campaigns on the ballots
