In a modern day replication of an ancient biblical tradition, each year a scapegoat (in this case a scapeturkey) is selected by the President of the United States, and pardoned from its otherwise anticipated sacrifice and allowed to live, presumably in some subliminal way to atone for our national sins (and we right now have many). This year, the 36 pound turkey is named Flyer and is pictured on the front page of the Style section of the Washington Post with President Bush and a number of children, under the caption "President Bush and a flock of kids make up this year's White House turkey tableau".
An editorial comment, or just the sad truth?
