Swan reunited with beloved paddleboat

MUENSTER, Germany - Petra the black swan has been reunited with her beloved swan-shaped paddleboat after a failed romance with a real bird.

Officials at a Muenster zoo where Petra has been spending the winter took her to a nearby lake Friday and released her next to the paddleboat — shaped like a giant white swan.

Petra became so attached to the boat back in 2006 that she refused to leave its side. When winter came around, she and the boat were taken into the zoo.

In recent months, Petra had struck up a relationship with a real white swan. However, he abandoned her last weekend — and officials decided to reunite her with the boat, which was returned to its owner only last week.

Zoo director Joerg Adler said it was too early to tell whether Petra will stay with the boat this time.

I've been following this love story. Makes me feel like there is hope in the world for love!

My acceptance speech for being on the Ignore list going around.

First, I'd like to thank God. I'd like to thank my mother for giving birth to me, my dad for supplying the sperm. My brother with whom I discuss all thing gadgets. I'd like to thank my Chihuahuas for giving me the will to go on. I'd like to thank DU. OMG I can't believe I forgot to thank DU. I mean without DU this would never have happened. I mean God, DU, you're my rock. My foundation.
OMG did I forget to thank the Obama supporters? Oh, well, without the Obama supporters there wouldn't even have been a list for me to be on. I mean, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart. I'm so proud to be considered for the Ignore list. The fact that you took the time and effort to craft the list and to consider me, well let's say it is an honor.

I will do my best to live up to the honor of being on the list. I will work hard to make it to the top 10 who are targeted for banning. That would be the ultimate achievement.

Oh, and I'd like to thank Skinner and the Admins, the mods, the web, Stargate SG-1, Vin Diesel my husband and his body for giving me the workout I need to feel strong enough to come to DU everyday and give it my all.

Honey, Vin Diesel, this is for you!

GREAT JOB Guys!

You've withstood the lockstep and retained your individuality. For that, I hold my drink up to you.

Apparently panties and tighty whities are in a bunch all over the WWW

Especially on the Liberal and Progressive forums. Who said Liberals can't match Freepers and Conservatives @ eating their own. From what I've seen it is a pretty equal one -on-one match on eating your own Liberal and Progressive vs Freeper and Conservative.

I think posting on Liberal and Progressive political boards has jumped the shark. I think just about all of them have lost their fucking minds. I've decided I don't want to be a part of that crazy ass shit. The decline of Liberalness and Progressive mentality on the WWW was swift and complete. The destruction was awesome. They've made it so that it is embarassing to say you post on the Liberal sites. I think the rise of the Independent is where it is at.

I was always struck by Liberals and Progressives refusing to lockstep behind an idea or a candidate. But then I see just that where Obama is concerned. Obama is just that, a politician who talks out of both sides of his mouth just like all the other muthafuckas out there. He's no different, he's just black and that ain't different enough from where I stand. From what I see, Obama's supporters will be the ones to sink his ship. I can't see how OBama can beat McCrazy fuck in the GE. I hear all the yes we can, hope, change, let it sink, and all I see it as is bullshit. Bullshit, Bullshit, Bullshit. OMG. BULLSHIT. I'll give him credit though, he's got so many fuckers hoodwinked, and that shit is BRILLIANT. My hope is that he wins the nom and the presidency and to sit back and watch as all the shit he said he was gonna do...doesn't get done and people get mad @ him and turn on him his 101st day in office. It'll crack my shit up.

Hillary, give it up. You ran the worst campaign that you could have ever run and will go down as the worst campaign EVAH ran. OMG I wouldn't pick Hillary to run a campaign for a toddler in daycare. OMG, she got played like a 3 dollar bill with my dog's picture on it. Her campaign sucked, her campaign leadership sucked, her campaign staff sucked, her PR sucked, her commercials sucked, I don't think there was anything that didn't suck. She sucked. She ruined the presidential aspirations for women for decades to come.

McCain is CRAZY AS FUCK

....take that shit to your heart people! Know it, repeat it, shout it, sell it, to everyone you know.

I've heard too many intelligent Democrats say shit like, if a Democrat doesn't win, McCain isn't that bad.

YES THE FUCK HE IS!

McCain is crazy. He'd attack KANSAS. He's little. He's old. He's mean. He's crazy as HAYLE.

McCain isn't better than he's equal to or worse than Bush. Just so you know.

Good Morning!

Just so you know, I still don't reallhy give a shit about the Democratic Primary. I don't care. I really don't care enough to vote. But I will vote, just to make sure that McCrazy as fuck doesn't ascend to the WH.

Obama is a politician and is full of shit. He hired a great team of people to convince us that he is the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Clinton is embarrassing herself something fierce and it is because of her it will be decades before a woman is able to run for president again.

I didn't care after the IA caucuses and I don't care now. From my perspective the IA caucuses need to be wiped off the docket. They picked Kerry. That is evidence that I am right.

Anywaze. I'll be back later today with more. I just don't feel like talking politics.
