DASHING THE HOPES OF TURKEYS EVERYWHERE: We've always known that Governor Vilsack is a man of steely resolve; I'm talking union steel, steel that may occasionally need to take a mandatory smoke break.

Shell out the Virginia Slims and light up the oven, because this Thanksgiving Vilsack will be assuaging all of or bird flu fears by eating turkey. The newly pro-capital punishment governor has refused to traditionally pardon a bird.

This is presidential material, folks. Gobble, gobble.
