And the Biden administration hits the ground squirrel running.

Would it be appropriate to add recipes for squirrel dishes?

We need to know who the squirrels recruited to get this day established. Whoever it is needs immediate and grisly execution.

Yesterday was Penguin Awareness Day and The Blog didn't even notice. I call fowl.

I like the "Relevant Video" linked in the story.

Hey Dave, turns out squirrels are nuts about National Days!

Carter had his malaise, Biden's got his National Squirrel Daze.

This guy spent hours trying to build the ultimate squirrel proof bird feeder and gained new respect for the little critters.

Mike Huckabee mentioned frying squirrels in a popcorn popper in his college dorm room, so recipes would be entirely appropriate. You could take a squirrel to lunch on Squirrel Appreciation Day, or the squirrel could be what's for lunch.

@Le Pet: You aren't far wrong. The original recipe for Brunswick Stew was squirrel and rabbit.

The squirrel in the picture looks like an Eastern Gray. Lovely creature.

This would have been a perfect day to fill squirrel feeders with exploding peanuts. Military planners call this a 'preemptive strike.'

Speaking of politics, I was touched that Dave did not actually wear my stovepipe yesterday, no doubt out of deference to Lincoln, who I noticed was also not wearing HIS. It would also have selfishly stolen the spotlight away from Bernie's mittens. Save it for 2024. And nursecindy, congratulations on your ascendancy to Secretary of the Interior. Good luck with all the decorating!

I sense a squirrelly conspiracy.

Let's try rounding up all the squirrels and sending them to Australia. These rodents may help mitigate some of this country's natural lethality as the beast's absence helps to mitigate some of the many problems attributed to them here.

I tried to tell you all a few days ago, but did anyone listen to my warning? Nooooooooo. At least my nuts are safe.
