Say what you will about Matt Drudge; he does highlight gems like this one sometimes. A Japanese parakeet gets lost. The cops find him (this is sounding like a joke, I know) and the parakeet tells them his address. Classic. Kind of reminds me of the one with the man walking down the street with a penguin.

Newsday Piece: Living a Lie
Anyone looking to see the best and worst of America all in one place should stand outside St. Francis Assisi Church in Mount Kisco on Sundays at around 1:15 p.m. It is a remarkable sight.

Here’s an interesting if slightly-long conversation starter by the group Free Market America aimed directly at President Obama and his policies.
