In a Thanksgiving  tradition dating back to 1947, President Bush has pardoned two turkeys. The fortunate fowl will retire to Disneyland.

In the spirit of the occassion, I’ve decided to pardon George Bush Jr. and Sr.  They will eventually return to their native habitat of Texas, retiring to golfing and fishing and shooting the bejeezus out of quail.  Or whatever they do in Texas. 

Now, before I ruffle any feathers - let’s think about this.  We all have a couple of turkeys in our lives that we should pardon.  While we’re stuffing our gullets on Thanksgiving and reflecting on our blessings, we should go a step further and pardon those who have offended us.  Not a conditional, “well, if they do this, I’ll do that.”  I’m talking about a flat pardon.  Wipe the slate clean and let bygones be gone.  After all, we’re getting to the time of year when human charity and nobility is expected to show itself. 

And so, I hereby pardon my internet enemies.  You turkeys.
