Today's press conference in re: the plane/copter crash in the Hudson proved once again why Bloomberg needs some media training (of course, I'd love it if he'd just step down but that's never going to happen: "Mayor for Life"?)...He showed up 40 (?) minutes late, snapped at anyone who asked him a question he didn't want to answer & without any preamble, announced there were no survivors only hours after the accident. 

Watching "the loneliest animals" on PBS' Nature.  It's incredibly depressing - all about animals who are going extinct.  Wow human beings sure suck. Except of course conservationists. 

I cannot believe that people would kill an animal threatened with extinction.  Sure, I get it - they need the money/need to feed their families/etc. but I for one, just can't stomach the arrogance supporting that belief that humans are superior to animals.  Because you know? we just aren't. Not in any way.
