Turkey Moves to Save Poultry Industry

As horrific as the bird flu implications may be, couldn't this title (from Susan Frazer and The Washington Post) have been worded just a bit better? Honestly. It evoked images of a giant turkey terrorizing poultry officials.

I got the image of a turkey in his best traveling clothes, clutching a suitcase at the train station. The whole movie played out in my head, like a Wallace & Gromit-style cartoon. Bob the Turkey goes to Washington, becomes a lobbying activist, camps outside the white house, gets ignored, alone, in the rain, finally gets mistaken for a terrorist, arrested and interrogated, gets released, gets on the evening news, talks to interrest groups, Sean Penn, congressmen and senators, finally meets the president, and saves the day in the end.

Do I need therapy?

Sounds like a typical situation in Washington, D. C. to me.

Except for the part about meeting the president and saving the day.
