Just because

Just because your parents insist on raising you in the lower 48 doesn’t mean you can’t get your Alaska on in other ways…

If only

If only I could put the totally blank look on my face that BuddhaBubba puts on hers when being asked, “WHO POOPED ON MOM’S CARPET?”, I could win every poker game in the world.

Needed – salmon and red meat

image

As you start emptying your freezers in anticipation of the coming fishing and hunting season, please keep Bird TLC in mind for any old salmon or meat you have. We accept almost all donations. Only no-nos are processed fish or meat and halibut. There’s a box in front of the door where you can drop the stuff off if it’s after hours. It’s only March 8 and we’ve already had 22 eagles admitted for care. So we need all the donations we can get. Those eagles sure get hungry when they’re healing!

Thanks to Bird TLC, there’s no need to

Congress not worth a warm bucket of spit

If government bureaucrats functioned at the same level of the US Congress, even their unions would not be able to save their jobs. So why are we still paying Congressional salaries?

Unless something intelligent comes out of Congress in the very near future (and seriously, what are the chances of that happening?), a lot of people are going to be out of work or on shortened workweeks. They will suddenly find themselves with a paycheck that doesn’t cover the bills. Welcome to sequestration. Congressmen and women, however, will continue to receive their salaries and platinum plan health benefits. And that’s

Need Mountain Ash berries!

Bird TLC has a surfeit of Bohemian Waxwings who need Mountain Ash berries. They have cleaned us out of most of what we had for the winter. Darn they do like those berries!

Also, as always, if you are cleaning you freezer in preparation for spring hunting and fishing, we always need salmon and red meat. Nothing processed though. We’ve already admitted our 21st eagle since January 1 so the salmon is going fast.

Thanks to everyone who helps support Bird TLC. I would add a tweet tweet from the birds but the eagles have asked me not to do

Why would you?

TV is advertising a show titled “Celebrity Wife Swap”. Why would you watch a show titled Wife Swap at all, let alone celebrity wife swap? We are rapidly approaching the nadir of culture and civilization in the country when shows like this are being aired with a straight face and not as a skit on SNL.

Two years later!

It took Congress two years after the expiration of the Violence Against Women act to reauthorize it because it contained language offensive to conservatives about protections for gay, lesbian and transgendered people. What? Conservatives don’t believe they should be able to marry, enjoy the same rights against discrimination that the rest of us enjoy and now they should be allowed to be beaten and abused without penalty because of who they are?

Way to be Christian!

It seems appropriate

It seems appropriate that I comment on the pope situation on a Sunday. Growing up Catholic… and I do mean CATHOLIC… I thought the pope ruled the world and the president helped the pope in America. Turns out that the Vatican is every bit as dysfunctional as Washington, proving that prayer alone is not enough. Nor are all male institutions automatically better than those that allow women in. This is a lesson Congress is slowly and painfully learning. It’s a lesson the Vatican may never learn so long as it provides the perfect cover for the biggest gay club in
