Whither “Duck Cheney”?

April 30th, 2005 · No Comments

The mother duck under Secret Service protection just hatched a nestful of fuzzy ducklings today. Duck names being discussed include “Duck Cheney”, “Quacks Reform”, and ‘Treasury Bill.”

The official plan is to move the duck family, tomorrow, out of the gardens of the Treasury Department and into one of Washington’s many parks.

May I propose that instead we move the ducks north, to one of Alaska’s National Wildlife Areas. Maybe the compassion Washingtonians feel for this family of ducks may thereby extend to the 40,000 caribou whose habitat is threatened by Republican plans to drill there for oil
