Biscuits & Gravy

Today our President granted a pardon to the T-giving turkeys Biscuits and Gravy, as they end up at Frying Pan Park's Petting Zoo in VA. As a colleague of mind put it, the president couldn't kill his own relatives.

Some months ago, I was watching C-SPAN and a caller for the support of Bush, commented in light of more tax cuts that she needed those more than a hand-out that most welfare folks demand. She claimed that she ate biscuits and gravy nearly every day for 45 years and she was 70 years old. She lived in Oklahoma, and she "didn't need no handout for candy or cookies." She ate biscuits and gravy.

I find it somewhat comical that our President announced his pardon of Biscuits and his running mate, Gravy, given it was an election year, and the race was close, neck and neck. They outran "Patience & Fortitude." Isn't that special that our President finally told the truth: they went for the neck and neck instead of patience and fortitude of the heart.
