Obama Gives Turkey Amnesty
President Obama joked Wednesday about his executive actions giving legal status to as many as 5 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, saying his Thanksgiving pardon of a turkey would doubtlessly be criticized as “amnesty.”
Obama said the pardon of a turkey named Cheese would be the “most talked about executive action this month” and one that’s “fully within my legal authority.”
“I know some will call this amnesty, but don’t worry, there is plenty of turkey to go around,” he said.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

The L-tryptophan was exculpatory.

You know how those Turkey legs got so big?..
It’s from carrying all that L-Tryptophan across the border..

The cranberry sauce and stuffing were mitigating factors, but in the end it was the L-Tryptophan that was exculpatory.
