Who Knew? Birds Can Dance!

They've got moves, they've got rhythm.

See here for article and 2 videos. The first, larger video is overlong, but see especially 0:50 thru 1:00, where they digitally increased the beat of the BackStreet Boys song, and the cockatoo kept up, even simplifying it's dance steps as needed.

Also, here, where snowball gets it on to "Edge of 17".

I'm jealous. Damn birds dance better than I do! (I'm a white, male, 54 year old heterosexual. Everybody (and now, everything) dances better than I do.)

Better Words Than I Had

I have been thinking for some time that Obama is the worst of all worlds: the Obama/Geithner "reaction" to the on-going corruption-fest that is our financial system is at least as inept and evil as was the Bush/Paulson approach, Obama has negated few if any of the civil rights concerns raised by the AUMF/MCA - but in addition we have the left-wing wackitude of a Nanny State as played by Kathy Bates.

But Tam says it much better:

The current freak show staffing the Executive Branch manages to combine the worst aspects of the ideological do-gooder ineptness of the Carter years with the well-oiled thuggishness of Clinton machine politics and the imperious self-righteousness of Dubya fresh out of a prayer meeting.

I'm A Birther And Proud Of It

Where is the real, long form, vault copy birth certificate?

If it were in Hawaii, as Obama and all his mouthpieces in the MFKAMS* insist, would not any sane person have exerted the minimal effort needed to have a copy released?

Is there any way to draw any conclusion from Obama's own behavior, other than: the thing DOES NOT EXIST?

CREEPY

How creepy is it that Barack Obama wants to talk to our kids?

Choose one:

1. Any friend of Bill Ayers is OK by me.
   
2. Creepy as in strangers offering candy.
3. Creepy as in Hitler/Stalin/Mao indoctrination.
4. Too creepy for words in any known language.
   

I'm leaning towards 4.

Of course, maybe the poor guy is just looking for an audience that hasn't yet figured out that he is completely full of shit. Boo Hoo.
