le Voyageur Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 THE OREGON WILDERNESSFrustrated by the widely held assumption that he unequivocally endorses the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, a bald eagle said Monday that his thoughts on the conflicts were far more nuanced than many Americans might expect. Speaking to reporters from his nest in the upper branches of a 175-foot ponderosa pine tree, the eagle explained that each member of his species was different and none should be taken for granted as a lockstep supporter of American military policy. http://www.theonion.com/content/news/bald_eagle_tired_of_everyone_just Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blancmange Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 In response, Glenn Beck starts a grass-roots effort to have eagle replaced as national symbol. The turkey vulture is seen as the leading candidate for a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrentAllen Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Blancmange, I think you are off just a little. Glenn Beck starts grass-roots effort to carry out Benjamin Franklin's idea for the national symbol - the wild turkey. Easy trivia - which president wanted it to be a grizzly bear?

Eagle732 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 The Bald Eagle interviewed is clearly an immigrant from France. Other Bald Eagles have said that this French Eagle does not speak for the majority. A true American Bald Eagle is willing to fight for his country.
