    I'm surprised no one has blasted the "turkey pardoning" as being unnecessary government spending. You figure that they have to pay people to set up the podium, the microphone, the security, and all that other stuff all for a turkey that is going to die anyway?

    I wonder how much this "event" costs.

    What does one need to pardon a turkey for? Being born turkey? :mrgreen:

    So there is justice in the US. I always knew that Turkey was innocent.

    I think its stupid that they say pardoned. The turkey didn't do anything wrong. How about call it 'freeing' a turkey.
