What a waste of money! First, they make all the hubbub about the turkeys, pull them from the production line, do a press conference and then the turkeys fly First Class from Washington to LA to be in Disneyland's parade. After all this, they live the rest of their "natural" lives at Disneyland. How much does Disneyland charge the government for this honor, I wonder? They're not just doing it for the publicity; they're a bloodthirsty corporation. What's even the point of this tradition? We EAT turkey on Thanksgiving? Why would we let two of them live to hang out at Disneyland? Is that our little humane act on a day when millions of turkeys are eaten around the country? And then PETA wants even more humane treatment of the two spared turkeys, so that they can have more "mental stimulation". Do turkeys have a mind to stimulate? And PETA should just be happy that no one is eating those two turkeys!
Whatever, the whole issue seems stupid to me. Plus, it's a meaningless tradition. There's no conclusive evidence as to when and why this tradition even started. We should put a stop to it before next Thanksgiving. I'm going to start looking into how I can do that.
We pardoned a turkey by eating a cow and it was delicious!

Damn! Do you have something against hypocrisy or something?!?!
Seriously though, it's just a holiday photo op for the President. You wanna talk about a waste of money...Why do they need to cut down and buy a HUGE Christmas tree for the white house every year when they could just get a fake one and use that every year? Or maybe you're saving that topic for the day after Christmas?? ;-)
We started eating at 11:30AM and I swear we didn't finish until 11:30PM. Oi! It was so fucking good though.
On the Christmas tree subject, you just wait! I think that they actually called it a "holiday" tree last year so as not to offend all the other religions of our country. But, really, what other religions use a well-lit evergreen to celebrate in December??
