Strangely reminiscent, that.

It looks to me like a circular, once proud, symbol, yearning to become more "crescent-like."
And another reminder: if you talk to a cockroach, it automatically multiplies.

Its "Sam the Eagle" from the old muppet show, playing a cranky, humorless faux hipster of the older generation.

...in case anyone needs to see the real US seal:

And the President's:

That's the Fascist Eagle.

Posted by: lberia at June 10, 2006 1:57 PMWell the head maybe, but the Fascist eagle has broader wings and longer. Although, not sure why the arrows are limp (limp chicken) and hard to make out the olive branch clutched in the claws.

Posted by: Ldd at June 10, 2006 4:48 PMWell, is it the eagle on the banners the Romans used to carry in the second century A.D? I read a book in the ninth grade called "The Eagle of the Ninth" by Rosemary Sutcliffe about the quest of a young Roman to recover the lost eagle standard of the Ninth--the symbol of the legion's honour.
It IS reminiscent of the eagle above the Nazi Swastika, which was a symbol of the Third Reich, and of the Facsist and Mafia eagle symbol.
Whatever its significance, it looks sinister, evil.

"The OPP are looking for several people with regards to violence at the Caledonia stand-off involving the Six Nations Reserve.
One of those people is Ken Hill:

Ken Hill is not just some two-bit hooligan. He's a two-bit hooligan with a business plan:"
