turkeys receive presidential pardon

Heaven only knows what turkeys did to merit annual condemnation in the first place, but old Bush seems to have done something right for the first time by granting a full presidential pardon to the National Thanksgiving Turkey, Flyer, and its buddy, Fryer. The only concern now is whether the turkeys themselves might have chosen an early demise over a life of being jeered and gawked at by children in Disneyland.
