Fun with the News: Wal-Mart & More

President Obama pardoned two turkeys before White House reporters Tuesday. The turkeys were subjected for weeks to loud noises and light to get ready for the press. If Rick Perry’s staff had only thought of this, he would have done a lot better in the debates.

PETA campaigned against raising turkeys for consumption Thursday. They claimed the birds are overfed, overweight, prone to heart attacks and too bloated to mate. When Ben Franklin wanted the turkey to be our national bird, he was ahead of his time as usual.
