Secret Service Guards Mother Duck, Eggs


WASHINGTON - The Secret Service, which has the job of guarding the president and other dignitaries, now has a new temporary duty — protecting a mother duck and her nine eggs.



The duck, a brown mallard with white markings, has had several names suggested by Treasury Department people, including "Quacks Reform," "T-Bill," and "Duck Cheney." It has built a nest in a mulch pile right at the main entrance to the Treasury Department on Pennsylvania Avenue.

The Secret Service's uniformed division, which provides protection for the White House and Treasury building, has set up metal guard rails to protect the nest, which has attracted the notice of tourists on their way to see the White House.

1. That's so sweet. I just hope they don't name the mama duck after Cheney.

That'd just be cruelty to animals.

2. THis is all code for Frist's extra detail, as he's a Quack.

3. More in the ongoing Republican saga of...

the culture of life.

This, in a country without universal healthcare, daycare, Head-Start, and every child left behind.

5. Read that story in 2nd Grade

Only the nice, protective policemen were Boston's Finest. "Make Way For Dictators", er, I mean Ducklings.

Ah, Spring in the MSM. Puts a rosy glow on things, don't you think?
