When I heard this, it made me cry.

I was watching GMA to see what Robin Roberts had to say about the oil spill. She is from Pass Christian, Mississippi, and that area was devastated by Katrina. She is one of my favorite people. She was understandably subdued and upset.

The GMA weatherman was reporting from a boat in the Gulf. It isn't good, and it's going to get a lot worse. They have let the shrimpers work under an emergency declaration in order for them to harvest what they can.
There are 400 species in the wetland areas that are threatened, and 40% of our nation's wetlands are in that area.

This was bad enough. Then the weatherman mentioned that 2 dolphins had come up to the boat and followed them for a while. That's when I cried.

the horror, the horror........
