Bankers have an bad rap these days, don’t they? Joel Armstrong of Spokane, Washington was nice enough to initiate an intensive bailout of his neighbors, who could no longer stay in their home. His neighbors: a family of ducks.

Now, some people in this case would be happy to let nature take its course, and figure that any animal dumb enough to raise young who can’t fly on a second-story ledge should be taken out of the gene pool. But I also like watching a banker play catch with fuzzy little birds.
