Ha, the picture I saw was of Brit Hume in his white shirt and blue tie. Ya know, I'm thinking he wore his blue tie last night during the primaries. With his latest political spins and can't bring himself to even mention Thompson, I think we can now say which side of the aisle he's leaning.

Don’t like it? Tough.

Sorry..... Its a bird. A pretty one sure but still a bird. I cant bring myself to give much concern to a seed eating bird being endangered.

Poachers are doing a number on this one. Parakeet’s usually have one mate and this is a great problem.
Thanks for reply;
