Reminds me of the time Bill Clinton needed some stones on a beach in France; and they magically appeared. It would not have surprised me if the killed some birds, covered them in oil and put them on display for His Holiness.

Barack Obama’s media advisers were quite distressed when the President travelled down to the Louisiana coastline last week to make his first on-the-spot statement about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Their distress was caused by what they didn’t discover, rather than what they did. Despite their frantic requests, no photogenic dying oil-covered birds could be found to form a backdrop for the Presidential tirade as he weighed into BP.
Since dead birds covered in oil make such good media images, and the MFM is image obsesses, the scarcity of dead birds is distressing.
According to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, only 21 birds have required oil-related treatment. The Fort Jackson Wildlife Rehabilitation Center says it has cleaned a further eight. As Paul Mulshine writes:
The birds don’t seem to be doing that bad. It turns out birds can fly. Who knew?
Oh, and Ted Turner hears from God
“I’m not a real religious person, but I’m somewhat religious. And I’m just wondering if God is telling us he doesn’t want us to drill offshore.”
To say that Ted is not "real' religious is sort of like saying that I'm not a "real" follower of Islam. Ted is an atheist nutjob. But atheists use God more than Christians do.
