MIDDLE TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) ― Tens of thousands of dead fish have washed ashore along the Delaware Bay in southern New Jersey.

State environmental and wildlife officials say it's not yet clear what killed the fish, which appear to exclusively small menhaden, also known as peanut bunker.

It is New Jersey - the list of possible causes could be endless - sorry New Jersey.

That's like English, only different.

[Deagle]

It;s New Jersey - when politicians get out of hand, the fish die...

[OldDeckHand]

"That's like English, only different. "

And just think, whomever wrote that probably spent four years in school learning to write like that. And they say education in America is failing our youth.

Christie’s fault.

Luca Brasi’s fault

[UCANSEE2]

I think that they have ‘outsourced’ all their reporting.

Some guy in India probably does the news column for them, based on AP news releases .

It is probably the Gulf Oil Spill poisoning the Ocean

+10 for you, m'FRiend!

Great shot! (Imagine the Leftie psychotics going even more crazy if the fish had been womenhaden!)

[PROCON]

Bush and Cheney’s Fault because of republican caused globalwarming!

One can only hope that more dead fish will wash up in Martha’s Vineyard while the Obamas are there.

Never heard of menhaden...but bunker fish are called bunkers along Jersey shore; aka “bait.”

[dfwgator]

“It’s a Sicilian message.”

[HiTech RedNeck]

CBS has the grammatical gaffe too. It should say “to BE exclusively small menhaden”.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Menhaden are an oil fish.

*** dead fish have washed ashore along the Delaware Bay in southern New Jersey. ***

John Conyers? Maxine Waters? Rahm Emanuel?

peanut bunker.

Peanut bunker turned my life around........If it wasn't for peanut bunker I'd be living a life of destitution on the streets, begging for handouts from stingy democrats..........

[Deagle]

Ha... This is one of the few things that may NOT be Christie’s fault! That is a nice thought among the Democrats of that state...heh. Really like this kind of politician - hope he catches on in Washington...

Go get em.

[EBH]

hmmmm...filter feeders.

Could literally be anything. And they travel in schools...so this will appear worse than it really is.

Moss bunkers have been washing up dead on the beaches of the jersey shore for as long as I can remember. They used to stink up the entire town. Our dogs would run down to the beaches to roll in them. What a mess. Tomato juice was the only way to get the smell out. I hear the water is much cleaner these days so I can't imagine it's the pollution.
