Anyone who knows me knows I’m a mad animal lover, and I have a particular fondness, as it happens, for dolphins. But something about the fact that dolphins have been moved to safety—and something even more about the fact that Comcast has had this bloody picture on its front page for two days—when there are people still stuck on rooftops is kind of pissing me off. And I know that it’s not like the dolphins were rescued instead of people, but it’s just irritating that we can manage to relocate dolphins and not humans.
Maybe the next time a camera-wielding helicopter flies over a rooftop refuge, instead of holding up signs that say “Help Us!” the refugees should leap through hula hoops and balance balls on the ends of their noses.
