You back on the junk?

Already lost SS. Don’t want to lose you too.

Never! Please don't compare me to that phag. I actually had standards as a drug addict!

I've just enjoyed watching these 2 eagles over the last couple of months. Also watched some that are in Florida and Louisiana. The ones in Louisiana died because some POS got them with rodenticide.

They sent one to the University of Georgia vet school to do an autopsy and determined that was the cause of death. They sent the second to LSU vet school and they incinerated it before the autopsy could be done.

Has he been reduced to that or did he choose to do that willingly?

Benjamin Franklin wanted the national bird to be a turkey, food for thought

I wonder why the Turkey. Good thing he didn't get his way with that one.

In 1782, several years after declaring independence from Great Britain, the United States adopted a seal for the young country. Benjamin Franklin, along with Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, was a part of the committee to design the seal. Franklin's proposal for a seal design had no birds located on the emblem at all, but Charles Thomson, an Irish-born Patriot leader from Philadelphia and secretary of Congress, submitted the winning artwork that was immediately approved by the Continental Congress.

Thomson's work contained the image of a Bald Eagle holding an olive branch in its right talons and thirteen arrows in its left talons. It supports a shield upon its breast and and clutches a scroll in its beak with the words, "E pluribus unum," meaning "Out of many, one." With the adoption of this design as the Great Seal of the United States, the Bald Eagle became the national bird.

Since Benjamin Franklin's suggested design for the seal didn't contain any birds, it is believed that he did not lobby for the Wild Turkey to be the national bird. In fact, the only written mention of his disdain for the Bald Eagle wasn't until 1784 when he wrote a letter to his daughter where he questions the decision. In the letter he makes it clear that he did not believe the Bald Eagle to be representative of the new nation and he remarks that the bird on the seal looks more like a turkey.

So I was wrong about him actually lobbying for a turkey
