Churchill's Foulmouthed Parrot

Tuesday January 20, 2004
Via Alex Boese: Following up on yesterday's news reports to the effect that Winston Churchill's beloved parrot Charlie is not only still alive at the age of 104 but spouting anti-Nazi obscenities learned from its owner ("F--- Hitler," "F--- the Nazis!"), the BBC said this morning that Churchill's relatives don't recall the former British prime minister ever owning a parrot, let alone teaching it dirty words. What the #@&#?

The BBC is merely engaged in its time honored practice of obscuring the truth in attempts to promote its Leftist, pot-smoking, addle-brained agenda. I am VERY MUCH ALIVE and spouting! See for yourself at www.churchillsparrot.com.

Cheers,

Charlie (Winston Churchill’s parrot)
