Nixon And The Gap
Published February 25, 2011
Not That Nixon
Richard Billhous Nixon, the former President of the U.S.A. (that’s the Underwater States of America, in case you were wondering), was a duck of extraordinary political skills. In fact, he was affectionately known as Tricky Ducky to those in Congress as well as his close family and best friend, B-b-b-baby Rebozo. Beloved by so very few, it’s hard to understand how Nixon managed to get elected, much less what took him so long to resign office after his tragic and shameful involvement in the cover-up of and illegal break-in at the offices housing the Webfoot Alliance of Toothy, Enchanting and Righteous German Acrobat Theater Eels (i.e. his role in the W.A.T.E.R.G.A.T.E scandal).

Published February 15, 2011
Down and Out
Things were looking pretty bleak for Jammin’ Jack Whistler. For one, he lost his “real job” as a fortune cookie writer to an immigrant Portuguese penguin. For another, he was three months past due on the rent for his one-room hovel, which was located in one of London’s poorest districts, and the rent had just shot up another quid. But to top all that, his favorite and really only model, Gertrude Marilee Tootinheimer Bo Bannabanna Hotpatoody was nowhere to be found. Continue reading

Published February 7, 2011
Great Leader
Mahandas Gandhi was a truly great Indian political and spiritual leader who lived from 1869 – 1948. Mr. Gandhi is known for his non-violent political philosophy and teachings—something this author dearly wishes those now struggling for democracy in Egypt and elsewhere might fully embrace. Yet our work today is less about a great leader of men and more about his source of inspiration. Have a guess who that might be? If you need a clue, think duck. Continue reading

A Little R n R
When we last heard from Javabird, he had just re-entered the world of stock investing. Needless to say, his experience was a mixed blessing, one which left his nerves completely shattered. What did he do? He went straight to the doctor like a good little duck. The doc told him he had to take a vacation immediately. He needed rest, sun and time to relax. Continue reading

Published January 22, 2011
William Shakespeare is among the world’s best known human playwrights. Heck, even a few of your better than average ducks have heard of him. Having lived so long ago (i.e. 1564 to 1616), some of the “English” used in his plays often sounds bizarre or even foreign to most of us today. However, it also contains many words still commonly in use. Continue reading

A Life Forever Altered
What history of famous ducks would be complete without mention of “Orange” Julius Caesar, (July 13, 100 BC to March 15, 44 BC). Typically known more for his deeds as both a general and ruthless statesman, old Orange, as all his friends called him, was forced to give up his desire to be the head chef at the famed Crassus Bar and Grill in downtown Rome Continue reading

"That's eggscellent, class!"
Let Me Introduce
Today’s lesson in history comes via our interview with the famous Professor Emeritus Ebenezer Van Quack. Professor Van Quack is the current Dean of the School of Evolutionary Biology at Aviary University, which is without question one of the most prestigious and selective among all the algae league schools. A renowned expert on the subject of evolution as well as the author of several texts on duck history, Van Quack is perhaps better known for his fictional romance novels, “Oh, Baby, Give Me Something To Quack About” and the steamy Lake Huron bestseller “Dirty Duck Down Under”.
Our Interview
BA: Professor Van Quack, welcome. First off, I’ve got to ask whether you are related to Vincent Van Quack, the infamous Van Gogh plagiarizer?” Continue reading

Published December 10, 2010
Perhaps no other painting is as famous as Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, and yet here again a man gets credit for the work of a duck. You’d think the guy would try being original once in awhile, but even after making duck soup out of his rival (see Leonardo’s Vitruvian Duck), Da Vinci was apparently unsatisfied to leave it alone.
