Whale Wars, the exceptional television program about a group of environmentalist that go to sea to "defend the whales" is back on. The first show of the new season premiered last night and it was a good one. The sailors on the "Steve Irwin" actually looked pretty competent, but the new vessel, the "Bob Barker" was having engine troubles (to say the least). The "Ady Gil" is a cool addition to the fleet, but it has been destroyed by the whalers. We will see it in an upcoming episode. Yea!
The Sea Shepherds group is considered terrorists and pirates by the Japanese and they perhaps are correct. If so they are good pirates and terrorists, much like the Mujaheddin was during the Soviet occupation of the Afghan "nation."
As a friend of mine says, "Fuck a Japanese, they don't need to eat a whale."

Is Bob Barker a Sponsor of Terror?
Apparently the Sea Shepherd organization has had one of their vessels rammed by a Japanese whaling ship. This is not too surprising as the Sea Shepherds routinely harass the whalers and try their level best to cause damage to their opponents. What is really a surprise is that no one has been killed yet in this well documented "war" on the high seas. Now one has to respect the Sea Shepherds goals. The Japanese have no business conducting such barbarous action as hunting and killing these beautiful creatures. As an environmentalist (a real one, not a nut case environmental religionist type) whaling is an affront to my sensibilities. As a friend of mine said "fuck a Japanese, they don't need to eat a whale." I could not agree more.
Bob Barker, of American game show fame, has supposedly donated 5 millions of dollars to the Sea Shepherd organization and has a vessel named in his honor. The Japanese believe that the Shepherds are pirates and a terrorist organization to boot. They may be standing on firm legal ground on this issue. If they are correct (the Japanese) in that assessment, does that make Bob Barker a "sponsor of terror?"
That is a funny question to ask, but in court of law you can bet that concept would be explored in detail.
