As far as I’m concerned, Harry can sing the praises for Tony Snow ’til he’s blue in the face, as long as he *votes* against and works against all the fuckups Tony’s boss has engineered the past 6 years.

And on that count, so far I think he’s doing fine.

Christy, here is a link to a clip from the Bower Bird (Attenborough) episode. This is just one of the many types of Bower Birds he covers, but most definitely, the most fascinating to watch.

That was terrific. What was surprising was the engineering with supports..bird brain indeed.

I’ll also wait until I’m more alert to watch it. Right now, I can barely concentrate enough to comprehend MadTV reruns. Dunno how I got through work this morning (I did screw up once - thank goodness my colleagues were able to cover it well). I’m gonna continue to rest in my jammies & cuddle with the cats until I have to go to work tonight.</p> I’m also taping the Planet Earth series, to watch it without the commercials later.
