Obama Deliberates Sparing the Turkey

Hours before Thanksgiving arrives, President Obama is still deliberating whether or not to spare the male turkey being held in a pen outside the White House kitchen. This year, the turkey’s name is Harry, after Harry Reid, some believe.
Generals and close advisors have said that more turkeys are needed as there is a surge in guests.
“Yes, Mr. President, more turkeys are needed to overpower their appetites,” said one advisor whose name cannot be mentioned because he is speaking without authority.
The Defense Advance Projects Research Agency (DARPA) suggests that tryptophan can be employed as a lethal weapon, though further study is needed.
“I must await the DARPA study,” replied the President.
“But, Mr. President, the guests are arriving and we need more birds, including Harry,” Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel appealed.
This could become a bigger story than the Sarah Palin Turkey Massacre of 2008.
“On Wednesday, President Barack Obama will participate in the traditional turkey pardoning ceremony in the Rose Garden. This tradition has been passed down for years and it will be President Obama's first turkey pardoning ceremony.
After the pardoning ceremony the turkey will be flown to California to be the Grand Marshall at the Disney Thanksgiving Day Parade. The turkey will then live at Big Thunder Ranch in Frontierland at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Rumor is that there may be two birds receiving Presidential pardons this year.”
Don’t confuse me with the facts.

That is one of the most beautiful pictures of a turkey I have seen. The wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is native to North and Central America. I would definitely pardon the one in the picture. They are at once picturesque. I make cookies in the image of a wild turkey for Thanksgiving. : )

Bulletin: The President has decided to send Harry to Afgahnistan along with 31,999 others. He says they'll be coming home sometime, when he decides in his deliberate manner. Do you think that his will happen before the next election? Given that all things are political, you betcha.
