      The picture kinda looks like Moonpie???? It looks like they're are trying hold Moonpie's head under water also. Geez, let the man get a breath!!

      Was AP boating near the surf? He has an affinity for knocking mammals with his "lower unit".
      "Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.

          They didn't put in the entire story

          GALVESTON — Rescuers were struggling to save a pygmy sperm whale found stranded in shallow surf early today.
          Officials said they were waiting for a veterinarian to arrive at a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration facility to examine the whale to determine whether it can be rehabilitated.
          Early reports had suggested that the whale was a newborn sperm whale, but upon examination, authorities determined it was an adult pygmy sperm whale — a member of a different family of toothed whale.
          Galveston police officer Joey Quiroga said police and other emergency personnel who arrived on the scene thought the whale was injured because they saw blood on its side from what looked like propeller marks.

          At the scene there was a saltwaterassault sticker and a 12pack of bud light. Another witness saw an overweight elderly man fleeing the scene towards a bait camp in Sea Isle. If anyone has any clues to the mysterious sticker or the big guy please call the Galveston Police Department immediatly.

          Allison Wilkins, 11, said she and her father Keith Wilson found the whale at about 7 a.m. as they walked along the beach just west of Jamaica Beach.
          "At first I thought it was a piece of plastic," she said.
          She and her father called her mother, who notified authorities.
          "It’s pretty cool," she said about discovering the whale.
          Heidi Whitehead of the Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network said the animal had injuries including abrasions on its side. There are are no known cases of stranded pygmy sperm whales surviving, Whitehead said.
          The whale was first secured in a foam-padded harness in the back of a pickup truck, then taken to a tank at the stranding network’s facility at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Fort Crockett.

              Giant super spook. Just get it in front of him when he comes up for air.

                            Yea it does really suck. I don't think the survival rate is very high at all once they beach themselves.

                              C'mon, you have to match the hatch. Squid imitation for sperm whales.
