Methinks you need to lighten up and just enjoy the moment. Sometimes you just need to kick back and have a little silly time. Even the President. . On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at 12:57 PM, Scott Stroz wrote: > > It is not this issue specifically, but all the stupid stuff like this > that our governme

'Pardoning' a turkey is not cultural. Its a political show. Who gives a rats ass that the president 'pardoned' a turkey that was donated. They are still going to eat another one tomorrow. Its just a waste of time and money, and in my opinion, serves no purpose whatsoever. On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at

It is not this issue specifically, but all the stupid stuff like this that our government does. This is, as Judah said, a spectacle. I know this does not cost much, but when you add up all the stupid shit like this our government does it would be a decent amount of money. On Wed, Nov 24, 2010 at

We probably wouldn't spend much less not doing it. How much do two turkeys cost? The President will be doing something then, isn't like he's off the clock. Of all the stupid crap that the government does, this would seem pretty low on the outrage list to me. Mostly they just do it because it is a
