A Greenpeace vessel following the Japanese whaling fleet had to turn tail
and run back to port. Why? The Japanese give up? The Japanese fire a shot
across their bow? They finally get some semblance of a brain?

Nope. They ran out of fuel oil.

Greenpeace, the Earthy Crunchy do-gooders, are burning off thousands of
gallons of fuel oil following the Japanese fleet around the Pacific.

Now, I guess saving the whales is a noble effort, but Greenpeace is also
telling people they should conserve energy and help to end the pollution
of the planet. And yet, here they are wasting thousands of gallons of fuel
and adding to the carbon pollution of the planet doing something that
amounts to pissing in the wind.

What a bunch of hypocrites!

Think I'll go have some pineapple...
