Tiananmen square’s shadow on DC meatless feast protest

There is lots of perks in living in DC. Just this morning, on my way to work I ran into wild turkeys demonstrating in front of the white house[1]. Nothing like the sight of an angry mob of colorful feverish turkey in the morning fighting for their right to life. I did some research and could not find any news on this. I think it is probably because the Bush administration decided to shoot some turkeys to set an example and killed them all. American are always happy to report on the French riots or Turkey’s delayed access to the European Union but they silence the press as soon as they have avian behavioral problem in the country to elude avian rights watchdogs criticisms and avoid the embarrassment of bringing light in the darkness of American culinary violence traditions. I assume demonstrators were protesting in the name of all these turkeys raised for Thanksgiving (I love the slogan “Turkeys are friends, not food”… but honestly the thanksgiving meal is already disgusting as it is so if you take away the poultry I wonder what’s left…a mock turkey ? ) stuffed fat and slaughtered or they were trying to extend the Presidential Thanksgiving pardon (you have to be kidding me) to rapist and drug dealers turkeys. They actually might very well have been protesting the American Indian Genocide, the Armenia Ottoman Turkey Genocide (a little late in both cases we must admit) or the bird flu shot shortage. To be honest, there is so many reasons to dress as a turkey and protest outside the white house these days. All of these American holidays are so morbid, particularly if you happen to be a turkey without presidential connection (like a Yale graduating texan turkey), that I have never been very astonished by the rise in holiday-related suicide deaths.

As an Orthodox Jew, I can only eat turkeys without cloven hooves. And even then, only after sundown (and after drinking the blood of infant goyim).

sure hon, and don't forget to pick up the kids from soccer practice and the scripts from the pharmacy. smooches!

So I was wondering how they get a chicken in a Turkey. I hear the French have a dish were they stuff a turkey with a duck that is stuffed with a chicken. That is nuts it sounds morally wrong. I feel like I would violate the chicken the duck and the turkey.
