Yahoo! News - Federal Warning On Tuna Planned
: "The federal government plans to warn pregnant women, nursing mothers and even those thinking of getting pregnant to limit their consumption of tuna as part of a broad advisory concerning the dangers of eating fish and shellfish with elevated levels of harmful mercury. "

Lovely. I have also heard that many fish are showing elevated signs of some of our anti-depressants in their systems. Yet, Republicans continue to tell me that the environment is just fine and enviros are just nuts. Are we just messing in our own nest? Global warming, mercury in tuna, pesticides killing off zones in the Gulf. I am reminded of Steve Earle's song Conspiracy Theory where he has a soft voice representing the media and conservatives on stuff like this:

Hush, now don't you believe it
Cover your head and close your eyes
Now, take it or leave it
Go back to bed
Now don't you cry
