This is a post about a cetacean. Like Slobodan Milosovic, Luna was a killer by reputation. Also like Slobodan Milosovic, Luna died today. It is unfortunate for the victims of the Serbian dictator’s regime, that Slobo was not killed by being rung over by a tugboat and sliced to bits. A little keel hauling a-la Louise Arbour could do the world some good parenthetically speaking.
So Luna was a mischievous rake who would bust up sailboats and cheekily encase the souls of dead Indian Chiefs from the nearby First Nations Communities but he was cute and a mammal and available as a plush toy, so we shall mourn.
Slobo, not so much.
how did I miss out on the news of Slobo’s untimely death? I caught the sad news about Luna, but then, we all knew that eventually BC’s favourite pet killer whale would one day be killed, but it seemed like Slobo was more elusive than a greased pig.
I can’t say I’m sad, although I wish he had been made to answer for his crimes. I know I am resting easier knowing that there is one less megalomaniacal tyrannical dictator on the planet. I saw what he did to the kosovars. I just hope that in his death he is not a martyr to his people.
*sniff* Loveable little scamp. Luna, not Slobo.
