The Clintons are coming.
The Clintons are coming
To the White House, To the White House.

The Clintons are coming.
MSM gave them the red carpet.
Voters game them the red carrots.

The Clintons are coming.
To the White House. For now and for ever.; 12/1/13, 7:23 AM

Squirrels have proven to be highly adaptable to new environments and habitats.

They routinely raid all sorts of (human-designed) bird feeders.

And they can learn new lifestyles:

Squirrels have long, bushy, tails for balance & keeping warm. Also, their ears are "outies" with an external fur-covered pinna like a cat or dog. Notice the ears on the critter in the video -- prarie dog.; 12/1/13, 12:07 PM

Hey, she's a lawyer, not a zoologist.

Actually, the Professor made no claim at all. I think it was someone else who labeled the video as being about a "squirrel", not her.

So, maybe she's guilty of species misidentification, but I think the case would have to be dismissed for lack of evidence.; 12/1/13, 12:43 PM
