The Monk Parakeet Panic

The monk parakeet is a paradigmatic example of this. The state was really concerned about this and they mounted a campaign for people to write in and say if they'd seen monk parakeets where they'd seen them. There's a crazy subplot there to do with Shakespeare which we won't get into, people should listen to the episode. But look, forgive me, maybe this is my ignorance, but when I think of the major problems facing the United States in 2023, I do not think to myself monkParakeets that are the guys. If only we didn't have the monk Parakeets, it would all be fine.
