Day 23

President Obama and I parted ways this morning after a very fruitful conference. I'm thrilled to report that after careful consideration of my opinion, President Obama reversed the United States' policy on limiting mercury pollution worldwide. As the Environment News Service reported (http://www.ens-newswire.com/), "Before astonished environment ministers attending the United Nations Environment Programme Governing Council opening session in Nairobi today, the U.S. delegation endorsed negotiations for a new global treaty to control mercury pollution, to begin this year." I am honored to have played such a key role as the lead presidential advisor on this issue.




I had the President's limousine take me to a location where I believed I had seen a flock of flamingos. Alas, they were merely Canadian geese, but as they are known for their lovely cocktail parties, I decided to follow a few to attempt to procure an invitation.


Incredibly, the geese rejected my attempts to join them. Each time I took a step closer, they retreated twice as fast. As I am a gentle and graceful stroller, I was never able to reach them, as seemed to be their intent. My what a snooty lot! And although I am not one to gossip, these were certainly the messiest birds I have ever encountered. Their trail of fecal matter gave new meaning to the phrase "loosey goosey."

I am starting to despair of ever finding my flock! Moreover, as spring is nearly upon us, I feel my need to breed growing stronger each day. Where, oh where is my beloved Nancy? Perhaps the fates will smile kindly upon me tomorrow.

Until then, I remain,
Ramon the Flamingo
