President Biden's pardon of Thanksgiving Turkeys (will it be Peanut Butter or Jelly?)

 POLITICO lead paragraph from today's preview Friday Nov. 18 pardon ceremony


What goes together better than peanut butter and jelly? Peanut butter, jelly, and turkey, of course!

At least that's how the White House sees it. The names for the two turkeys who are eligible for the presidential pardon this year are Peanut Butter and Jelly. A video from the White Hous showed the two birds ruffling their feathers in a room at the Willard Hotel, preparing for their close-up. On Friday Nov. 18, President Joe Biden will pardon one of the two and dub the bird the official 2021 Thanksgiving turkey — although both birds will be spared from the Thanksgiving table. [they will live and not be slaughtered at Purdue Univ., W. LaFayette, IN]
