Well. . . . . .

At least it's not a chicken.

I grew up on a turkey farm (my dad still owns and runs it). So his livlihood depends on turkeys being eaten. I find this lack of concern for my father and our family disheartening! Doesn't President Bush care if my parents eat or not? Why is he placing the well-being of the turkey ahead of my family's exsistence?

And trust me, you don't won't the white turkeys in your neighborhood. They are ruthless (well ruthless may not be the word for it, more like...stupid.)

By the way, of course the turkey is white. That is all you ever eat if you buy turkey from the store. Only wild turkeys are brown. You can eat them as well, but you pretty much have to hunt and kill them yourself to eat a brown turkey.

So eat more turkey and help my father eat a healthy meal.

I question the timing.

Ace--

I echo Frank Black's point-- Bush choking the chicken would be a bad thing.

BTW, if you care: CNN reports on the WORST TOYS OF 2004, and I've suggested my warning labels for them.

I know everything is bigger in Texas but really...choking the 'turkey'?

BrewFan...too funny! (Insert lame "you owe me a keyboard!" comment here.)

I think the Islamofascists will see this pardon as a sign of weakness.

Actually, I hope Bush can do as much for our Marine in Fallujah who bravely protected his team and a stupidly ungrateful reporter.

The Thanksgiving turkey pardon is too predictable.

Just once, I'd like to see a President refuse to pardon the turkey(s). Pronounce them dinner.

Put a little suspense into the Thanksgiving pardon proceedings.

Watch for an article any minute now by Mike Allen in the Washington Post, with the stunning revelation that the turkeys in question are not destined to be eaten after all.

Make that, "were not destined to be eaten in the first place." Makes more sense that way. Or not.

"It's a white turkey, by the way. What kind of message does this send?"

LOL

Did ODub get ahold of ace's keyboard?

I reckon those fuckers are plastic.

Bush then turned around and said "Gimme some steak"

I would prefer a highly covered 5 month trial of the Turkey(s) ending in several jurors being weeded out until the most conviction friendly configuration of jurors can be found. Then it would...

...oh fuck it. I'm already tired of talking about it.

Geez, they've been doing it for 56 years or so. Sure it's stupid, but so is tax money for crack whores.
I'd rather whine about that.
