Citing a direct response to the Oregon Ducks’ announcement a few days ago, Sebastian the Ibis has decided to enter the Presidential race.  In his prepared statement, he stressed the importance of the big picture, specifically, pretzels for all Americans.
He was not unavailable for questions, but this announcement should add intrigue to a race that has quickly gone to the birds.
