Ear Splitting

Is this not one of the most exquisite pictures you've ever seen? I happen to think that it's truly sublime and I can't get enough of looking at it.

Okay, so I've already established how me and Sharon Stone think that saving Whales is hot.

If you are so inclined, here's another message already written for you to the Secretary of the Navy to stop these sonar blasts that are deadly to Whales.

Just so no one takes the liberty to make assumptions of what I'm not saying, I love the U.S. Navy. My father was a career Naval Aviator, and my oldest brother was a Navy pilot as well, and now his son will be by the end of the year. And I'm very proud of them.

I'm also very proud to have served in the U.S. Coast Guard.

However, Will and I were lucky enough to see a few Great Blue Whales last Sunday out in the Santa Barbara Channel. And they were magnificent, completely awe-inspiring and humbling.

So, personally, I'd like it if we stopped "That explosive level of noise can cause whales -- who have an exquisite sense of hearing -- to panic, surface too quickly, and hemorrhage internally. Many beached whales have been found bleeding around their brains and ears after their fatal encounters with military sonar."

"Imagine a sound so disorienting or so painful that you jump out of the sea and die on the beach rather than be subjected to it for another minute! From a whale's point of view, the Navy's sonic assault must seem like torture."

I can imagine that sound.
