On Tuesday morning, President Bush is scheduled to take part in the White House's annual Thanksgiving turkey pardon. The current ceremony dates to 1947, when the first bird was presented to President Harry Truman.
The 2007 turkey and its alternate are from Dubois, Indiana, according to the White House Web site. This year, citizens can vote online to name the prized poultry. I cast my ballot for "Wing & Prayer" and you can cast yours here.
After the official presentation, the celebrity gobbler will be flown first class to Disney World in Orlando, Fla. where he will be the grand marshal of amusement park's Thanksgiving Day parade.
