See, blacks were popular and influential in Washington long before Barack Obama. I bet Mr. Change couldn't even open a walnut with his teeth.

That's nuts.

So Drew owns DC?

You had the boobies, and this is what you did with them?

Because it was there.

I can't decide if racist or squirrelist.

Anti-rodentite?

They're powerful, no doubt.

squirrels are rats with fluffy tail. They are gross, disease ridden and delicious when fried.

/There were these two squirrels... now look how many,

Wanted for questioning:



/obviously hotlinked...

I'm in SW DC right now and there's about 10 squirrels playing outside so I'm getting a kick...

I read this in the Washington Post Express on Friday. Very well written and true. I especially like this line:

After all, seeing a gray squirrel rushing around downtown as if he has important places to be is about as unusual as seeing a guy in a charcoal suit doing the same.

Then the bit at the end after they go through the history of people in 1906 feeding the squirrels it points out that it is now illegal to do so.

shiat, they're just trying to get a nut, dog.

FTA: In 1955, squirrels started bothering the resident of a more prominent home. White House squirrels were scratching up President Dwight Eisenhower's private putting green on the lawn just outside his office. Messing with America's First Golfer is not a good idea. The White House squirrel patrol was put on high alert and launched "Operation Squirrel Seduction" (later renamed "Operation Exodus"), which culminated in the trapping and relocation of three resident squirrels.

Operation Squirrel Seduction??

Current economic climate explained:

Squirrels are running the White House!

/shamelessly hotlinked

When the economic recession hits and hits hard, we'll all be having tasty tasty squirrel meat.

/Mmm, squirrel-burgers

I was wondering why Dan Shive appeared on the lobbyist rolls this year.

I see AIPAC is disguising itself as a squirrel organization. Ah hah.

Their spokesman?:

Well, it only took three pages to get to the punch line. Sheeesh.

/farkers are the Zoo Visitors.

Grey Street: Their spokesman?:

Beat me to it. Winner.

This isn't some kind of metaphor. Goddamn, this is real.

Omygodwheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

This just reinforces that the most powerful lobby in DC is AARP. Damn but those geezers lurves them some squirrels.

If the NRA were half as powerful as they're rumored to be we'd be past this scourge in a season.

/small bag limit to take care of Drew's squirrel.

This is serious shiat. We primates have been at war with the rodents for 20m years, and frankly, the rodents are winning.

Primates are American originally, but about 20m years ago a land bridge to Asia opened up and the rodents poured in. They started out in China. Fortunately we escaped to Europe on another land bridge (?). Anyway the primates ended up getting totally wiped out in the Americas until a chance reintroduction to South America much later.

We survived in the Old World by hiding in the trees. The rodents chased us off the land. A few groups survived by developing socket-style shoulders for climbing, among other things, but the rodent species vatly outnumber the primates.

Now by a feak of nature one primate speces has come to dominate all the planets ecosystems. But in a million years we'll be gone, probably taking a lot of the ecosystem with us.

A few very flexible rodents will survive, and begin to differentiate. The age of rodents is coming.

ilambiquated: The age of rodents is coming.

*wink* You betcha.

god damn little farkers. I used to live across the street from the national zoo, on the fourth floor of an apartment building, mind you, and the farking squirrels were constantly breaking in the apartment. Chewing through windows, waiting till you aired out the bathroom, you name it, those farkers were in. My building maintenance guy once vacuumed some babies up who had come through the windows.

yeah, it was the black squirrels.

and I am deadly serious about this. I have such a hate on for squirrels.

ZAZ: See, blacks were popular and influential in Washington long before Barack Obama. I bet Mr. Change couldn't even open a walnut with his teeth.

RTFA. Blacks were kept in cages at the Zoo until the 1900s.

SharkInfested: and I am deadly serious about this. I have such a hate on for squirrels.

There's a 12-foot albino Burmese python loose in my town, so I'm hoping the squirrel population is a bit smaller tomorrow.

farking tree rats. Kill them until they're endangered.

It's all part of the animal conpiracy! (new window)

strangeguitar: nuts
