Avian Flew

Dan Drezner, on the captivating news of US Airways flight 1549 and the pilot hero, Chesley B. ("Sully") Sullenberger III:

While most birds probably wish to peacefully coexist with humans, it is becoming increasingly clear that a small group of radicalized avians are hell-bent on destroying our way of life. This can not stand.

I, for one, look forward to President Bush's declaration of a War on Birds. Unfortunately, this will last only four days, after which President Obama will no doubt appoint this guy as special envoy to the avian community.
