Here’s another little piece of evidence that the Murdoch family buying the National Geographic Channel isn’t turning it into a right-wing property.

Not a fish, but good species. Reggie would have to speak up as to his suction abilities.

The female fish will have to wear little robes to cover up their scales ‘cause they’re too provocative to be seen by the male fish.

God knows he's given us plenty of ammo.

Why don’t they just re-name buffalo carp?
The Obamarp: bony, ugly and they leave a bad taste in your mouth.
But a carp will fight. Or maybe I’m thinking of drum.
