First Robin of 2008

I think we've really turned the corner on Spring. Here's the first Robin (Turdus migratorius) sighting. Here they are pokin' around for stuff by the snow.

And they're frisky! Hopping around all over each other. Click HERE to listen to the 6 different calls that Robins make, and why.


The snow is melting almost as fast as Investment Bank Bear Stearn's stock price. Last summer, they were 'livin' the dream at $158 a share, now they've been sold to J.P.Morgan for $2 a share. They're just the latest example in the Bush administration's failed economic policy: tax cuts for the rich, ballooning public debt, and an unsustainable trade deficit. Before it's all over, the taxpayer pricetag for the financial markets bailout will top $3 trillion, the same price now attached to the Iraq war (celebrating it's 5th anniversary this week.)
