Sometimes the sun hits glass in just the right way that the sky and trees are reflected and the birds fly straight into them.

There are two products that can help with window collisions. One is a sticker that looks like a garden spider’s web, and the other is a leaf-shaped sticker that is nearly invisible – it reflects UV light (birds can see it, we can’t).

Hit google and read more. We went through this a few years ago when we placed a feeder a little too close to the house. The results were heart breaking.

Take some precautions with window stickers and a decent space between your windows and the feeder, and you’ll be able to enjoy your beautiful wildlife.

You would have thought that Hiliary was leading in Iowa because the “political discussion” about Iowa Centered, once again, on Hiliary. Edwards name was barely mentioned. I am so sick of the media shamelessly promoting Hiliary. I so hope the people in Iowa make Edwards a big winner in Iowa. Although I don’t know why because even if he wins Iowa they will say well it doesn’t mean much because everyone expected him to win. Aaaarrrrhhhhhh! Come Monday we’re donating to Edwards campaign!</p> I just finished watching Russert and I just have to vent.

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Jan. 10, 2007

Share President Bush’s speech may be scheduled for tonight, but the troop surge in Iraq is already under way.

ABC News has learned that the “surge” Bush is expected to announce in a prime time speech tonight has already begun. Ninety advance troops from the 82nd Airborne Division arrived in Baghdad Wednesday

The first surge troops arrived in Iraq in January- so I’ll stick with that date for my analysis.

question: is the PR blitz to build support for an iran attack, or to scare congress into another iraq capitulation?

This is a good question. I’m not good enough at Kremlinology to be able to answer it.

only 2 women (one of them Matalin) in the lineup this morning. White, white, men. I simply don’t bother any more.

Yeah, Mary Matalin is a woman, just like Bill Clinton and Al Gore are gay – and Mann Coulter is a woman!

[Mod: Does gender identity really matter here? Let’s focus on their ideas.]
