I’m a long-time champion of the IOC World Bird List as a standard for bird names. They give short shrift to New Zealand’s birds, lumping them with odd names no one here uses because the names are shared elsewhere and God knows America isn’t going to take a hit for us.

The problem is that Republicans are looking for an angry bird instead of a beautiful bird. The Republican birds do not present beautiful plumage. And the current chief bird, Gingrich is the walking antithesis of a pretty bird. This begs the question – if Barack Obama were a bird, what bird would he be?
