I&#8217;d be glad they were eating plankton and not me.  Did you know manta rays are related to sharks.  They&#8217;re brains are bigger though, so, they&#8217;re smarter and gentler.  I wonder if all species get gentler as they get smarter?</p>

<p>This smiling great white brings to mind former <span id="lw_1258316512_46" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;">Congressman Richard Baker</span> from Louisiana. He reportedly, took home a salary of One million in 2008 in the hedge fund industry.  The hedge fund billionaires hired him while he was still overseeing the House Financial Subcommittee on Capital Markets.  That seems fishy doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
