Caption text from The Wilson Parrot Foundation – as written: “This is Major General, USMC Ret., Astronaot and now Directer of NASA, Charlie Bolton being a True ParrotHead!!”

Keith’s note: Captions, anyone? I’ll start: “Although they both poop on me, I like birds more than I like reporters”.
Charlie’s daydream about what a Center Director’s meeting is like.
Charlie Bolden, the ultimate parroty of NASA leadership.
This whole space stuff, like Congress and reporters, is for the birds.
NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden introduces NASA’s next manned launch vehicle design.
“No, we still haven’t solved the zero-g sunflower seed shelling problem, but I have my people working on it….”
This place is going to the birds! Literally.
“Where’s that conga line start?”
A few more:
-I keep telling you, this isn’t ‘a few birds’! These are gulls, crows, swifts…(and parrots.)
-Don’t they ever stop migrating?
-Get Cathy and Lydia out of here!
Surrounded by bird brains, Charlie has his arms full trying to respond to all of the tweets.
This is sad. I can’t imagine James Webb posing for a picture like this. Fundamentally Bolden comes across as a clown, what NASA has lacked for several decades is leadership and this doesn’t help.
I don’t get it.
if it has to be explained you’ll never get it.
Tom Paine sure would have….
Really, Fred? Really? James Webb was an entirely different personality from an different, more restrained time frame. I absolutely know that Charlie was very pleased to talk to the head of the foundation at the NASA Headquarters CFC Kickoff. A number of NASA managers and employees had the same picture taken of themselves with the rescue birds…
Due to a bad telephone connection, the agency’s order for 800
tons of poly-dicyclopentadiene will not be delivered. Food service facilities at all NASA centers will be serving poultry-based dishes until further notice.
“If only I could have such a close relationship with my center directors…”
“Space X sent these new engines over to help me with the SLS design”.
“Dryden’s Ornathopter is still in the early stages of development. With further funding we should be able to make astounding advances in that field Senator.”
Brazil has decided to join the ISS as an international partner. Each nation contributes what they can.
Gen. Bolden to embrace former Administrator Goldin’s vision: Faster, Better, Cheeper
OK. This is the one that put coffee on the screen…Thanks, Terry…
“We – the evil renegade parrots controlling the arms and head of this avatar – wish to announce that the real Gen. Bolden will be released when, and only when, Space Food Sticks are made with bird-seed! >Squawk!< ”
Whispered comment from Charlie: “It’s a good thing the camera isn’t showing my shoes. I’m never going to get them clean again!“
NASA and Disney unite in the new space feature, “SLS, One Hundred and One Iterations”.
“Closely monitored by members of Congress from states with NASA field centers, NASA administrator Bolden’s smile conveys the impression that the oversight is difficult to support.”
