Democrats to Run Against William Howard Taft in 2010

Washington, D.C.--Congressional Democrats, whose policies have proven unpopular and deeply divisive, have decided they will campaign in 2010 against William Howard Taft, who left office in 1913.

"We're still living with the devastating legacy of our twenty-seventh president," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, "and we Democrats stand for change."

"Look, America was saddled with the Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act of 1909 for many years before we Democrats took over," said Chris Van Hollen, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "And it's going to take a lot more time for us to overcome the lingering effects of former Attorney General George W. Wickersham's tenure."

Nature babies

While we were at Chief and Tootsie's home the other day, we got to observe a little springtime nature.


After looking a little closer into the birdy house doorway,

we could see these hungry little wren hatchlings--no noise, just mouths agape.

It was a precious scene, but it made me sad because they looked so...hungry. I really wanted to rummage around and look for something to feed them, but then I figured their momma was perched somewhere with a little worm in her beak just waiting for me to stop taking photos so she could fill their bellies.

She was a patient momma, and she did get her little darlings fed.

At least momma wrens don't dive bomb people like other birds I've seen.

Thanks Momma Wren for a looksie in on your babes. They're very sweet!
