A Look At The Dead-Whale-On-A-Beach Dilemma

After a dead whale washed up on a beach in Malibu, Calif., near Bob Dylan's home it wasn't long before a foul smell was blowin' in the wind and residents were demanding answers. Although dead whales don't often arrive in wealthy neighborhoods, they do come ashore on beaches across the country fairly frequently. Getting rid of them is often not easy.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING RID OF A DEAD WHALE?

In this case there is disagreement, because the 41-foot mammal ended up on a private beach. Malibu officials say they aren't sure who should haul it away. The Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors says it isn't responsible because the whale is on private property, meaning it's up to the owners to get rid of it.

CAN LOS ANGELES COUNTY LIFEGUARDS HAUL IT AWAY?

Maybe, but that agency says it may big too big for one of its Baywatch boats to handle. They say it could require a tugboat like those used to guide giant ships in and out of ocean harbors. The lifeguards have indicated they'll try when the tide is right.

Their private beach that they dont allow people on, their private beach to clean up a mess. They can handle the cost, pay up rich snobs.

Let Barbra Streisand pay for it--she thinks that the rich should pay more--oh wait a minute, she is exempt like Warren Buffet. HYPOCRITE LIBERALS.

Bob Dylan would sic his dogs on you if you walked across that beach. So would dozens of other Hollywood heroes who think they OWN the beach in front of their house. Let THEM pay for the removal. Its their "fair share" --- just what they were cheering for earlier...

How about the liberal elite gut it, butcher it and feed the poor with the meat. That's right, only country folks can survive.

Better yet,let Bob sing to the dead whale.It would spring back to life just long enough to get the heck out of there on it's own.

Sorta what I was thinking. Give the homeless a fork and knife.

Figuratively speaking of course.
