By far the best thing to come out of Britain’s expenses scandal is this video series of ducks lampooning the shenanigans of elected officials. It’s part of a campaign to bring an open primary to the U.K., but forget the politics and enjoy the poultry.  —PZS

The last one hits home and clearly reminds me of how evasive our politicians are here in the USA, one big difference the ducks were asked real straight pointed questions, something never done here.  Wonder, do politicians in Britain get asked real questions? Even so, in the end meaningless without accountability!

It makes me want to dig a duck pond, build a duck house, and get some ducks…  The last one is very spot on as they say across the pond, I have known politicians just like that….

Our neighbors have geese, they are actually cooler than ducks.
