ANAHEIM, Calif. -
President Bush is set to make the traditional pardon of a Thanksgiving turkey today. But this bird isn't heading to some petting zoo. It's going to Disneyland.
The 35-pound Tom Turkey will be grand marshall of the Disneyland Thanksgiving Day parade.
And the big bird is flying west in style. After the reprieve on the White House lawn, the turkey and it's alternate will be given a police escort to a Washington-area airport.
From there they'll fly first-class to Los Angeles. After the parade duties are over, the turkeys will live out their days at a Disneyland ranch.
Crap like this pisses me off. That turkey is flying first class to Disneyland for Thanksgiving, while there will be homeless people, just as ugly as this turkey, starving on the streets for thanksgiving. If I were President, I would end the tradition of pardoning a turkey, and instead I would cook it up and feed it to the homeless. Because that makes more sense.
