Oh-No! Just when Keiko was about to provide testimony on the sleeping accommodations at Michael Jacksons Ranch.

buried Monday in a snow-bound pasture

Why wasn't he buried in the traditional burial grounds of his ancestors?

How many starving children could have been fed?

Also; how ironic is it to bury a whale?

You mean like in a whole bunch of cans of cat food? Or as a meals-ready-to-eat for other sea creatures? I mean, "recycle & reuse" isn't that what the Greens are always telling us?

And besides, how to you keep a funeral (and funeral preparations) for a whale a secret??

"the burial in a pasture... was done in secret to avoid a media circus."

The two thousand pallbearers were sworn to secrecy.

In Norway in the middle of winter, how did they round up 3,500 pallbearers?

Nothing can top the funeral that the Brookline Unitarians held for a 100-year-old tree that was tragically chopped down by Boston Edison.

They couldn't find a toilet big enough.

I think they were most concerned that the Democrats would find out and "Wellstone" Keiko.

Clinton was snowed in and couldn't make Paul Simon's Funeral

Onion other hand, maybe Keiko ISN'T dead. Maybe they just want us to THINK he's dead.
