Maybe a "FOWL" pardon but I can live with it.A U.S. president will again partake in the very strange and myth-filled tradition of "pardoning" a turkey at the White House Tuesday.
The birds' names are "Corn" and "Cob."
The White House has a poll on Twitter asking which should be spared.
It all seems very normal. That's one effect presidents hope for out of this tradition — to show a sense of normalcy. A president makes jokes about gobbling or trotting or uses some other fowl puns.
But, this year, it all seems wildly off and out of place.
