Winter's here and so is thanksgiving. I am sure, Turkey's across the North American subcontinent are not celebrating. Wonder if they are accustomed to anticipate this time of the year. Must feel like an ethnic cleansing for them - unless they are so thick that they do not comprehend the concept of time.

Speaking of turkey, I wish to eat something other than a bird this time (what with Avian flu scare and all)? Fortunately, some good folks at the white house and elsewhere pardon couple of turkeys every year. From what I've heard the selection process for these fortunate birds is a democratic one. Unlike the presidential election - it's their life we are talking about here. each Turkey present it's case infront of a panel of salivating humans, who around thanksgiving appear non-chalant to the innocent turkish 'gobble -gobble-gobble'. Not surprising that the lean Turkey's get pardoned.

I for one, am all against the death penalty, be it human or turkey. All this talking about turkish plight has made me quite hungry. It's thanksgiving and only food around is the tryptophan laden turkey.

PS: The above paragraphs have nothing to do with Turks or Turkey. You know that country bordering Italy.
