“Screw chicken wings! Gimme those wings! Extra blue cheese, please.

The States – Back in 1963, there were about 417 breeding pairs of Bald Eagles left in the continental U.S. Today, there are over 11,000. Other than restaurants having to include the bird in a variety of dishes, this means the eagle will be taken off the Endangered Species Act by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as soon as next Thursday. Kieran Suckling, policy director of the Center for Biological Diversity had this to say:

The bald eagle represents one of the greatest endangered species recovery stories in US history. But it’s really a victory for the Endangered Species Act as much as anything else.

This speaks volumes when a group of environmental activists are proud that a country can follow directions as simple as, “hey, don’t kill that.” Of course a country can now rejoice because soup choices no longer have to be dominated by the French. French Onion Soup? No THANKS, let’s keep it patriotic with Bald Eagle and Broccoli.

Morning hunger: strikes!
