President Obama pardoned a turkey today. Methinks Notre Dame Athletic Director Jack Swarbrick will not be so kind. #fireweis
Obama convenes poultry death panel, spares turkey
In addition to the funny tweets posted below, here’s another take on today’s official turkey pardoning, from Doug Mataconis: “That must be the biggest Turkey to get a Presidential Pardon since Ford pardoned Nixon.” Heh.
Personally, I want to know whether that turkey was even born in this country. I bet he’s a foreigner, and thus constitutionally ineligible to be chosen as the official presidentially pardoned poultry. WHERE’S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?!?!?

For Thanksgiving, thank a soldier
Via e-mail from Andrew:
XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL
If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com, you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can’t pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services.
How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! It is FREE and it only takes a second.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these?
We can never say enough thank you’s.
Snopes confirms that this is legit (though it isn’t new — it’s been around for 3 years). It also appears, based on the website’s About Us, that the effort isn’t limited to soldiers “currently serving in Iraq.” The site refers to “U.S. troops stationed overseas.” Presumably that would include Afghanistan as well.
Anyway… a small gesture, but a neat idea. I’m going to send one.
