Sometimes the Internet gives us videos that can make us laugh, make us cry or simply give us pause.
And then sometimes it gives us videos like this: A bird trying, against all odds, to walk down the wrong side of an escalator.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 1:04pmI love to go see the sand, water, and the seagulls. They are out at our land fill, all of them. We are in Central Texas.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 10:56amSigns for animals !! That must be how they direct the turtles to all the turtle tunnels that were built in Florida with 3.4 million dollars of stimulus money from Obama’s last “jobs plan.” And all this time I thought that money was wasted ! Now I realize some of the money must have been spent on signs directing the little critters which way to go.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 7:35amObama wants you to think this bird is smarter, but oh no… Obama is smarter. Obama’s objectives are not to fix the economy or this country; his objective is to destroy this country by driving it further into debt. Rather than stupid, I’ve always considered him a very intelligent man, it‘s just that he’s the enemy of our country. He’s a communist, a dyed in the wool communist with full intent to drive our country so far into debt that we’ll capitulate to the UN.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 2:53amIs that you, America bird?
Why are you walking and walking and walking and still going nowhere? How many Pelosi’s, Reid’s, Waters’s, and even illegal alien Kenyan’s must you constantly vote into office and STILL not know they are DELIBERATELY destroying your country for 100 years now?
Soon you will tire and get pulling into the machine … as grease in the gears, where you probably belong. Then a people more deserving than you will inherit your land and your memory will be forgotten.
