So, I was browsing around the Wall Street Journal (I’m not sure why, it seems that the publication barely covers Barry Penner at all) when I ran across this:
Hmmm… not bad, not bad at all. Excellent framing, good use of colour… sure, it is missing a certain something, but decent nonetheless. So, who is it that took this adequate picture?
Not content with just any old photographer, the esteemed publication acquired a picture of the Furry Creek plant near Squamish taken by none other than Environment Minister Barry Penner. – The Victoria Times Colonist
Well how about that! So, what did our lovable Environment Minister get from the Journal in exchange for this magnificent specimen of the photographic arts? Stacks of cash? A free subscription? A lovely ‘thank you’ bouquet, perhaps?
“I got a photo credit, but alas no royalties,” he said. “Perhaps that’s only because times are tough in the newspaper business.” – The Victoria Times Colonist
Why, those dirty scumbags! What kind of third rate publication takes people’s photos and doesn’t give them anything more than some measly credit? You sure are lucky that newspapers are already on the way out, WSJ, because you know Barry Penner would usually take you down for a slight like that.

I don’t know who this mysterious fellow is, but for some reason I can’t help but trust him with the entire environment…
Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn’t keep his old Conan sword around out of a sense of nostalgia or a hope to rekindle his acting career after he tires of this governor thing. No, he keeps weapons close at hand just in case Barry Penner ever comes back.
