Tomorrow (11/22/05) the Turkey-in-Chief pardons a turkey.
Edited on Mon Nov-21-05 11:57 PM by Patsy Stone
A touching moment from last year's festivities



--

"Presidents traditionally have granted the National Thanksgiving Turkey a "pardon". For the past 15 years, the National Thanksgiving Turkeys and their alternates have been retired to Frying Pan Park in Fairfax County, Virginia. The farm is a 1930s-era replica farm operated by the Fairfax County Parks Department.

"This year, after the presentation, the National Turkey and its alternate will be taken to Disneyland Resort and Theme Park in Anaheim, California to be a part of the holiday display and where they will stay the remainder of their natural lives. Both the turkeys will serve as honorary Grand Marshals for Disneyland’s annual Thanksgiving Day Parade."

4. He sure didn't pardon anyone in Texas,,,
It must be real hard for him not to fry that turkey. I'm surprised he didn't change that tradition like he has tried to change every other good thing about America.
