In related news, disgraced ex-congressman Foley has been seen circling the Washington Monument and making . . . well, they could be described as 'crooning noises'.

DG - that monument is WAY too old for Foley!

I love the swan story - especially the refusal to fly south without his mate.

Good point, Cheeze - but it DID just have a face-lift, so maybe he's confused.

I guess the fact that the boat will never respond is a non-issue to Peter.

Maybe the black swan just thinks his new mate is mute.

I bet George Bush won't mind if THEY get married.

It's not really platonic love, that's true.

But is it rampant materialism?

I think not.

'Black Peter' as the lovesick swan is known...

Racist bastards.

There is something very Oscar Wild about this news story. It kind of reminds me of The Happy Prince or The Red Rose.

DG - that monument is WAY too old for Foley!

Of course, this fountain in my town was just erected in 2002, so we may have to give it a decade or so.
