Parrots and Politics: Ralph Nader Speaks Extemporaneously With Highly Intelligent Parrot

As a non-profit organization, the Brooklyn Parrot Society (which runs this Web site) is prohibited from endorsing political candidates. Still, our board's chairman believes that the IRS will not revoke our pending 501 (c) (3) application just because we've embedded the following video spot, which features Ralph Nader having an extended conversation with a very intelligent parrot. Without conceding any endorsement of Mr. Nader's presidential campaign, this spot represents a gentler and more humane treatment of human-animal relations than any that could conceivably emerge from the camp of Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, whose attitude towards animals (evinced by her enthusiastic endorsement of the practice of hunting animals from airplanes) is regrettably cruel.
