In Praise of Healthy Ducks

With Congress returning today for a "lame-duck" session, and the President remaining in office as a "lame duck", I thought I'd share a picture of my flock of happy, healthy Rouen ducks. The one with the green head is a drake, the male duck. Ducks are wonderful creatures. They squawk. They waddle. They love to play in the water. Nothing lame here.

I've heard that a support group for lame ducks is forming called D.O.N.A.L.D (Defense Of North American Lame Ducks) but they don't have their website up yet. They will be affiliated with D.A.F.F.I. (Ducks And Feathered Friends International.) Both organizations hope that when Barack Obama takes office, he will not be referred to as a sitting duck for his opponents.
