I went to the mall for a weekend reprieve And saw such a sight that I could not believe. The place had gone crazy, the mall was just packed.

From the page: "President Barack Obama just pardoned his first turkey of his administration, following the Thanksgiving presidential tradition started by President George H.W. Bush. The turkey in question is named Courage, a 45-pound turkey that probably had drumsticks that could feed a family of four. According to an Associated Press story, Sasha and Malia Obama accompanied their dad while he received the gift from the National Turkey Federation â€" a tradition started in 1947. (It was President Bush Sr. who first pardoned the bird.) " - Erik Deckers
