I rarely comment on the news because too many people do it better than me, but these really got under my skin.
U.N. Temporarily Halts Caviar Exports
GENEVA - A U.N. panel ordered a temporary halt to caviar exports by the world's major producers Tuesday, buying time for experts to find ways to reverse dwindling populations of threatened sturgeon — whose eggs provide the culinary delicacy.
This the U.N. acts on?
Iran is now refining their own yellowcake, in North Korea there’s a nutcase with at least three mid-range nukes and a haircut worse than mine, and in Africa genocide has become the new Oktoberfest. And these assholes are fucking around with beluga? What a goddamned embarrassment.
On the lighter side:
Angry passengers sue after plane delay
BERLIN (Reuters) - Six German airline passengers who said they were being held against their will on an aircraft stuck on the runway for hours during a snowstorm have filed "false imprisonment" charges, German police said Saturday.
Passengers boarded the plane at Berlin's Tegel airport at 7 a.m. Thursday, but snow and ice delayed their takeoff. At 11:30 a.m. a man named Ingo Q. called a police emergency hotline on his cell phone and said he felt as if he was being "held hostage," the tabloid Bild reported Saturday.
These people sat on the runway for seven fucking hours. I’ve been in situations similar to this and let me tell you—you are being held hostage. It’s not like flights to London are scarce. Six people sued for false imprisonment and I hope to hell they win.
There's a simple situation to this - drop a serious deuce in the onboard lavatory. I'm talking...Paulesque bowel movement here. They'll either have no choice but to evacuate, or enough staff will pass out that you can bumrush the emergency door.
Caviar controls are way overdue. I've been activating on this for years. I am so thankful that some government body has finally grown the cajones to put brakes on this horrific practice.
Screw the whales, save the sturgeon!!
