ducks

I was just watching Countdown online, and they did this little oddball piece about a mama duck and her ducklings. Apparently the ducks got lost and were wandering around the White House buildings, so security was dispatched to herd the ducks to somewhere more appropriate. The guy escorting the ducks is a cop in riot gear, so it looks like the ducks are getting an armed escort off the property. It's really funny.


As they show the footage of security following the ducks, Olbermann says, "Don't tase me, bro!" and I lost it.

Haha! In the video clip, they show the ducks being herded onto the White House lawn, and the announcer jokingly complains that they weren't given the proper security clearance or had background checks run on them.

I don't get it. Why did the duck have to leave the property?

I could see having someone scoot the ducks off some military base where they were doing minefield simulations or somesuch, but what's a little duck poop on the White House lawn in the grand scheme of things?

Actually they were putting the ducks ON the lawn, I think they wanted to get them away from the driveways and paths and put them somewhere they couldn't get run over!

The ducks were criticizing the administration's policies. So they had to be moved to a Free Speech zone.

Heh. They were probably afraid of giving Dick Cheney an alibi.

Hi there,

Totally unrelated to your post here, but I saw the link to the pdf you posted with the Tudor pillow instructions and unfortunately the link has expired. I don't suppose you'd be willing to upload it again? I'd like to try them.

Thanks!

I'm sorry, but I have the file at work and with my shoddy internet connection there it takes me too long to upload. I will try to see what I can do, but if you could ask someone that downloaded it, that would great.
