A bald eagle in Clay County, Florida that got stuck in the grille of a car is reportedly okay, according to authorities.
Images of the bird are being compared to the state of America right now in the middle of a bizarre and often dispiriting election weekend.
I'm not a creative writing professor. But if I were I'd probably deem this, "A fine metaphor, but perhaps a little too heavy-handed."
