Apparently after the President pardons a turkey for Thanksgiving, that turkey, and an alternate, will be flown first class from Washington to Los Angeles, yes, in the first class cabin, where they will be Grand Marshalls in Disney’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. (Disney pays for the flight .) The flight is apparently registered with the FAA as United Turkey 1.
Does this really need a punchline?
(But okay, not to be confused with President Bush’s flight home to Texas January 20, which presumably will be now registered as Turkey 2.)

Notre Dame’s student fans were apparently so incensed with the the Fighting Irish’s lousy performance in a loss against lowly Syracuse last Saturday that they threw snowballs at their own team. The university is considering sanctions, although those who hit their targets have been invited to try out for quarterback.
The San Francisco Giants, who have already made one of the worst free agent signings of the decade with their long term big money contract to Barry Zito, are apparenlty considering making an offer to C.C. Sabathia. Maybe they want him to bat fourth?
(note to anyone who doesn’t follow baseball closely, and thus is thinking, “huh?’ about that last joke. C.C. Sabathia is one of the best hitting pitchers in the major leagues.)

The NIMF – (National Institute on Media and the Family) – has come out with their list of ten games that are too violent and that parents should not buy for their under-17 children And coincidentally, those same ten games have jumped to the top of many children and young teenagers’ wish lists.

tacky joke alert.
When Sarah Palin pardoned a turkey, the camera showed another turkey being slaughtered in the background. Which has prompted calls from the American public for President Bush to pardon a banker or automaker.

Lots of birds playing in the NFL’s three Thanksgiving Day games. The Seahawks, Cardinals and Falcons in the later games. And of course the turkeys from Detroit in the first game.

And finally, ah for the good old days… when toxic assets were simply buildings with abestos.
