Something Fishy

There has been lots of hoopla over Al Gore's daughter, Sarah. She didn't get drunk and dance on a bar or show her panties to paparazzi. Here crime? She served Chilean Sea Bass at her wedding rehearsal dinner. What's the big deal? The big deal is that Chilean Sea Bass is an overfished endangered species. However, the Gore family didn't do anything wrong. The restaurant confirmed that the fish came from a sustained population in accordance with the Marine Stewardship Council regulations.

Do people really think that Al Gore would be dumb enough to serve something that goes against everything he campaigns for? And if he did, for some reason, serve fish that was illegally caught, do you think he'd know about it? Maybe Gore doesn't know exactly which fish are endangered and which are sustainable. Give the guy a break. After all is said and done, it was safe fish anyway!
