I take it this is a shot taken by a huffpo blogger embeded with the enemy ?
Or is it just that Huffpo has some inside links to the Jihadis ?
William Amos on February 16, 2009 at 7:20 PM
So much for that sea kittah!
grapeknutz on February 16, 2009 at 7:20 PM
Ah darn its a FISH story. Should click on the video before I post
Darn you Allah !
William Amos on February 16, 2009 at 7:20 PM
It stinks to be a fish.

I say a little prayer every day that this is what Adam Gadahn experienced in his last moments before entering hell.
Bishop on February 16, 2009 at 7:21 PM
I like the second fish swimming in after his pal just got whacked..”Hey !! where’d you go ??”
moc23 on February 16, 2009 at 7:22 PM
Wow, that was pretty cool.

Kingfisher?

See what happens to Republican fishies in a Democrat sea…
Let that be a lesson to you spector, snow, and grahmnesty!

How many millions did this government study cost ?
William Amos on February 16, 2009 at 7:26 PM
One of the things I love about living at the beach…watching the birds fish.
KelliD on February 16, 2009 at 7:27 PM
Now that’s a bad day.

More likely thinking, “Hey, lightning never strikes the same place twice, right?….”
ej_pez on February 16, 2009 at 7:30 PM
I didn’t say anything when they came for the fish, because I’m not a…wait a minute!
VPJ on February 16, 2009 at 7:30 PM
Too cool. Now if that bird could fly over Pelosi while she plays in a fountain in Rome….
RobertJ78704 on February 16, 2009 at 7:34 PM
Obama reminds me of the Second Fish.

A Kingfisher it seems to be.
BL@KBIRD on February 16, 2009 at 7:40 PM
Give a bird a fish and he eats for a day.
Teach a bird to fish and he will ask for stimulus money to cover for his losses when his stocks took a dive.
William Amos on February 16, 2009 at 7:40 PM
That second fish swimming in is a thing of beautiful. Nice reminder for how replaceable we all are.
pedestrian on February 16, 2009 at 7:41 PM
I’m wondering… does HuffPo ever link HA?
Because you seem to link them quite often… not saying it means anything just saying it’s a bit odd
thecollegepolitico on February 16, 2009 at 7:42 PM
Repubics are the fish dummy..
lasertex on February 16, 2009 at 7:42 PM
<MAO-I wonder what the PETA people think about that?

Dave R. on February 16, 2009 at 7:43 PM
LMAO, I meant.
Dave R. on February 16, 2009 at 7:43 PM
Well they do link to attack Michelle. I have sent her several of their attacks over the years. Hotair not as much they tend to focus more on Michelle.
Though they will link if Michelle roasts a GOPer that they hate.
William Amos on February 16, 2009 at 7:44 PM
Poor Mr. Limpet.
The Ugly American on February 16, 2009 at 7:44 PM
So the metaphor is Michael Phelps is the fish, and the bird is Sheriff Lott…

It isn’t that the universe is for us or against us, but that it is indifferent.

Allah, wanna check on this:
http://www.kansas.com/735/story/701750.html
Off topic…yes…but very relevant to the situation. I think of the fish as Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. The bird is the Republicans.
PappaMac on February 16, 2009 at 7:53 PM
Robert was having a wonderful day, until.

WilliamAmos,
Your first comment was funny, intended or not.
BadgerHawk on February 16, 2009 at 8:01 PM
How often do ya hear that?
Amazing footage tho…camera in the right place at the right time.
JetBoy on February 16, 2009 at 8:04 PM
Sad thing Badgerhawk is I almost believed it was true
William Amos on February 16, 2009 at 8:04 PM
That Kansas news is disturbing, following the news that California might issue IOU’s. Reminds me of ‘Dumb and Dumber’ where they open up the suitcase and say “Those are IOU’s. They’re as good as cash.” Obvious problem being that they’re not cash.
I did my taxes today and I’m hoping I don’t get one of those IOU’s. Crazy times.
BadgerHawk on February 16, 2009 at 8:11 PM
Wicked! From the still picture on the front page, I thought it was some kind of gar. Feathers! That’s so awesome.
Tanya on February 16, 2009 at 8:12 PM
Amazing footage,reminds me of the shark and
seal footage!

Sushi?
Zorro on February 16, 2009 at 8:16 PM
Yeah, I mean how do you set something up like that?

P.S. But I always thought the birds and fish sang and danced together? Least that’s what Disney told me.
MirCat on February 16, 2009 at 8:17 PM
Fish are friends not food
William Amos on February 16, 2009 at 8:18 PM
Wait. . . so like alien abductions are hungry Cosmicfishers?

MadisonConservative:Hehe,good one!:)
Or/ the bird is Barney Frank and the fish is the economy!
Or/ the bird is Hopey/Changey and the fish is American
Freedoms!
Or,the bird was Helen Thomas,and the fish was Hopey/Changey
at the press conference,of ‘are there any nuclear weapons
in the Middle East!!!!!!!!!!!hahaha:)
canopfor on February 16, 2009 at 8:25 PM
Sea kittens?
I didn’t think falconry applied to those kinds of birds for sure…

Finding Nemo
William Amos on February 16, 2009 at 8:30 PM
I tell ya my sub conscience must have kicked in…I was thinking Nemo after I read that…just didn’t place it right away. heh
JetBoy on February 16, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Fishy Fish…….
Seven Percent Solution on February 16, 2009 at 8:35 PM
Must be because we are both NY Jets fans. We feel empathy for being an fish in a shooting Barrel
William Amos on February 16, 2009 at 8:36 PM
I’d like to see a “bird’s eye” view.

Ain’t that the truth. *sigh*
JetBoy on February 16, 2009 at 8:40 PM
These are the times I hate using my iPhone to read HA. You’d think AP would be sympathetic being an Apple/iPhone lover. You realize flash doesn’t work, right? Unless you found some dang jailbreak app that you use. Can’t see it happening. YouTube good, flash apps bad.
Sultry Beauty on February 16, 2009 at 8:43 PM
Wow, just had a image of congress snatching at my wallet. What a nightmare!
ChicagoBlues on February 16, 2009 at 8:47 PM
Um…you realize YouTube is a flash app, right?
Also, don’t jailbreak that IPhone, or apparently you will need an actual jailbreak.
MadisonConservative on February 16, 2009 at 8:48 PM
I tell ya my sub conscience must have kicked in…I was thinking Nemo after I read that…just didn’t place it right away. heh
JetBoy on February 16, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Yup, the reference got me cracking up recalling the fish calling out something or other from Mount Wanna-hock-a-loogie.
ChicagoBlues on February 16, 2009 at 8:50 PM
Fishy Fish…
Seven Percent Solution on Feb 16,2009 at 8:35PM.
Seven Percent Solution: Ha ha,British humour,I haven’t
seen it in years,thanks!:)
Its not a fish,but the title,
‘A Fish called Wanda’,was also
a funny movie!:)
canopfor on February 16, 2009 at 8:51 PM
Wait a bloody tic,this just hit me like an ‘anvil’,
isn’t Nancy Pelosi responsible for the systematic
murder of billions and billions of tuna,
oh da horror of it all,
PETA,PETA,do you not hear their little screams onto the
night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hahahahah,ahem!
canopfor on February 16, 2009 at 8:59 PM
MadCon, iPhone comes with YouTube app, but it cannot convert Adobe Flash websites and it just gives you a box at the embed. Supposedly Adobe is in negotiations to get it on here. Not finalized yet.
Steve Job is a God!

On youtube with a twist
I just put it up so give it a few minutes
William Amos on February 16, 2009 at 9:19 PM
Bwahahahahahaha!!!!! LMAO.
Great film.
BrideOfRove on February 16, 2009 at 9:50 PM
Oh, boy! More exciting news from HuffPo!
Jaibones on February 16, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Talking to my daughter about a hawk we saw “He’s looking for movement on the ground, anything that walks is his prey. Sucks to be the mouse but otherwise it would suck to be the hawk. That’s the way God made it.”
thebrokenrattle on February 16, 2009 at 10:00 PM
Isn’t that clip in the live video for Nine Inch Nails “Hurt?”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFx2TmQfM-o (Fast forward to 4:20)
Yes. Yes I believe that is.

jimmy2shoes on February 16, 2009 at 10:36 PM
that clip is ancient. It was used in a Nine Inch Nails video like 12-13 years ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc1mP4ae2Io
it’s at about 4:18 in.
cameo on February 16, 2009 at 10:37 PM
Wins the thread on the second post. Not fair. lol
riverrat10k on February 16, 2009 at 10:52 PM
Now I am hungry for some Sea kitties…………
sheebe on February 16, 2009 at 11:04 PM
I am thinking of doing just that. We called and pestered our Reps about no raising the taxes. They want to double car registrations. That would crunch me and I would more than likely have to quit my job. Ca. sucks!
sheebe on February 16, 2009 at 11:05 PM
Makes me think of congress and my wallet.
av8tr on February 16, 2009 at 11:39 PM
That second fish looked confused.

Go to AZ, pull a DBA, put the car under the business and register it in AZ.
Dusty on February 17, 2009 at 12:31 AM
My friend said same thing. Thanks for the info. Not that I didn’t believe her.
sheebe on February 17, 2009 at 1:00 AM
I’d rather keep company with the predators than the prey.

Appallingly sad and wickedly funny at the same time.

MadCon: I got my new computer in Vista before I got my iPhone. Regretted it because Vista sucks! Never had so many crashes before that I keep everything on a mini pocket drive. Too much work. After the iPhone my friends who swear by Macs showed me their stuff and the MS interface for software I feel I cannot live without and I know that I will buy a Mac ok the next purchase!
William Amos & cameo: if it’s on YouTube I can’t watch them on the iPhone. Both say unavailable.
Sultry Beauty on February 17, 2009 at 6:54 AM
We’re linking to Huffpo now? man times really are hard..
Viper1 on February 17, 2009 at 7:25 AM
I was gonna say… everyone’s acting like this is some “Wowee!” new footage…
Frozen Tex on February 17, 2009 at 8:36 AM
Of course it has been seen before…doesn’t make it any less beautiful.
LimeyGeek on February 17, 2009 at 8:53 AM
I gave it it’s first rating (5), & it’s first comment.

Allah has a thing for liberal chicks, especially with Hungarian accents, dahling.
jgapinoy on February 17, 2009 at 9:02 AM
Well done. Mother Nature at work.
Now, let’s see how long it will take before environmentalists ban birds because they upset the delicate balance of the Ocean.
MSGTAS on February 17, 2009 at 9:03 AM
Heh ;)
LimeyGeek on February 17, 2009 at 9:03 AM
On the Kansas budget issue, I am from the area, and am not optimistic. Listening to the news channel this morning, I heard our local conservative House legislator in an interview with the news hosts. He came across as very smug and unwilling to cooperate with the governor, preferring instead to make her look bad at all costs.
He really missed a golden opportunity to make the conservative case for 1) not creating an out-of-balance budget, and 2) not burdening his constituents with higher taxes in this uncertain period. He was more concerned with placing the blame for the budget crisis and not being able to pay state employees their wages at the feet of the governor.
The art of persuasive speech needs to be a prime consideration as we nominate our representatives. It makes me physically sick that we are at such a disadvantage in that arena.
connertown on February 17, 2009 at 10:32 AM
This is outrageous! What are we doing to protect these helpless fish from such atrcoities? As a properly indoctrinated libtard I demand to know!
NotCoach on February 17, 2009 at 12:20 PM
I’d call this video a metaphor for the American taxpayer.
Being hooked isn’t enough – we have to be hooked and pounced on from above.
