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.

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.

Just in case you couldn’t peel your eyes away from the handsome gentleman that dominates these pages, I’d like to bring your attention to a couple of minor (minor) changes to the layout of the website. To the right are now some links that you may want to check out, if you haven’t already. Specifically the new FAQ (full of 100% questions!) and the new Barry Penner biography (full of 100% ‘facts’!). The About page and Contact page are also newly revamped and expanded, so give those a gander as well. Fun stuff!
Also, I’d like to welcome a new member to the BarryPennerIsAwesome team. Say hello to TheEditor! TheEditor is here to make sure my Barry Penner related ramblings are as smart and snappy as the Minister himself. Say hello back, TheEditor! Now that you two are aquainted, any mistakes you see here are no longer entirely my fault. Hoorah!
I don’t know who this mysterious fellow is, but for some reason I can’t help but trust him with the entire environment…
