Happy Turkey Day

From the Memphis Flyer (h/t Richard):
It happened today at that corny annual Thanksgiving ritual in which the president of the United States takes a break from screwing up the world for a few minutes to officially “pardon” a turkey.

Don't ask us why. We have no clue. All we know is that there was an online vote (Somehow we missed that. Was Diebold involved?) and America chose to name its mock-sacrificial turkey “Flyer.”

In an ironic twist, we here at the Flyer also pardoned a turkey today. We haven't decided what to call him yet. We're torn between “Decider” and “F**king Idiot.”



More gobblers from Marty Kaplan, Bob Geiger, Wonkette, and Windspike.

The hard to swallow bits from BooMan, Buzzflash, and Bring It On!

Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Update: A second helping of giblets from Needlenose and Kvatch.
