Obama Pardoning Turkey
President Barack Obama is being targeted by some on the right for being soft on crime after pardoning a Turkey yesterday. While this was the first pardon of his short presidency some worry that it sets a dangerous precedent. How after all, they wonder, will he stand up to terrorists when he can’t even take down common poultry.
Sarah Palin shows how it should be done.
Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.
The answer is yes. And the answer should be yes. We could always wear individual protests on our uniforms but I bet some Nazi (pardon the inappropriate pun) at the USOC would think that in bad taste. Still a “Free Tibet” logo (is there one?) or banner across an athletes back when they cross the line or stand on a podium would go a long way in putting to shame the Chinese. I can’t imagine what their reaction would be.
Winning is enough of a shame too if you are prejudice so if someone could get a Tibetan NOT on the Chinese team to win something it would be great. Another Jesse Owens, I’d dare say.
