Save the Elephants: STOP BLOODY IVORY
This week, two countries are seeking to break the worldwide ban on ivory trading — a decision that could wipe out whole elephant populations and bring these magnificent animals closer to extinction.
But many African states and conservationists support extending the ban on elephant-slaughtering ivory trade. The decision will be made at a UN meeting in Doha on 13 March, and global public opinion could tip the balance!

You think you’re immune. You’re not.
Warning. If you have a heart and a pet this will probably make you sniffle at your desk when you watch it at work.

“That’s this week on Siskel, and Ebert, and the movies… and the asshole. And that’s Roger.”
This is such magic.
Congratulations, you have achieved douchebaggery!
Douchebaggery? “At the Movies” (apparently once called “And the Movies”) was a beloved show to many of us, and Gene and Roger’s constant quarrels were legendary. I like how these outtakes show how obviously very real friends they were.

"…the smiles you see on these animals are not true reflections of happiness. In actuality, they hate to be enclosed in their holding tanks and are often not fed until it is time to perform their daily routines. During his time as a trainer, O’Barry learned dolphins had true feelings — they would get depressed, stressed out, even suicidal. In some parks, the trainers have to give the animals Maalox and Tagamet to treat the ulcers that develop from their stress."

Remarkable. Some of this stuff seems like it should be impossible.

doin my part for Boner.
HAS ANYONE SEEN HIM?
Andrew Koenig (AK-47, the video guy on “Never Not Funny,” and “Boner” from “Growing Pains”) has been missing for a week, last seen 2/14 in Vancouver. Didn’t make his flight back to the US on 2/16. The Vancouver Police are involved, and lots of people are looking. Could you reblog this and help get the word out? And say some prayers or think some positive thoughts?
UPDATE: It’s not that I don’t appreciate the “like”s, but PLEASE DO REBLOG THIS. You might have followers in Vancouver, and though the presence of the word “Boner” may make this look like a joke, I assure you it isn’t. Thanks!
