Presidential Pardon for Doomed Turkeys
I have no idea if this story is reputable or not. If it is, however, what a great story to share for Thanksgiving.
According to WayOdd.com, today President George W. Bush officially pardoned two turkeys named May and Flower, staying their execution for our holiday meals. Reportedly Vice President Dick Cheney preferred the names Lunch and Dinner. I guess that’s slightly better than "My Hunting Buddy’s Face." hehe.
This is the 60th annual event for the "National Thanksgiving Turkey" in which the White House saves at least one of the unfortunate oversided birds from the dinner table. Said Mr. Bush after the pardoning ceremony, "May they live the rest of their lives in blissful gobbling, and may all Americans enjoy a holiday full of love and peace."
To celebrate their newly found freedom, the turkeys are heading straight to Disney World to be the grand marshall’s in the amusement park’s annual Thanksgiving Day Parade. I kid you not!
Of course, if Dennis Kucinich were president, I imagine all turkeys would be granted a pardon and we would be forced to eat tofu. Think about that when you go to the polls next November. :-)
Happy early Thanksgiving to all from Simply Dumb!

This is not news. Bush has a history of pardoning criminal turkeys since his term first began. I feel sick every time I see a pixs of him….yuck. Guess I’ll stay off the net before dinner tomorrow….
