CRAWFORD, Texas, Nov. 24 (UPI) -- Antiwar protesters remain camped near President Bush's Texas ranch on land belonging to one of his neighbors. The encampment features a large white tent and a banner that reads "No Pardon for Crawford's Turkey." The group plans to mark Thanksgiving by serving an Iraqi meal, the Washington Post reported.

On Wednesday, a group challenged a new Crawford ordinance that bans roadside camping within 7 miles of the Bush ranch. Those arrested included Daniel Ellsberg, the former government official who leaked the Pentagon Papers on the Vietnam War.

Cindy Sheehan, who spent several weeks in Crawford last summer, was expected to join the protesters Friday, after being delayed by a family emergency. Sheehan's son was killed shortly after his arrival in Iraq in 2004.

Bush and his family are spending Thanksgiving at the ranch. According to the White House the menu includes roasted free-range turkey with herbed stuffing, chipotle-maple whipped sweet potatoes and Texas pecan pie.

1. Bush mocked the turkey. "Boo hoo hoo, please don't kill me." nt

2. I just can't believe that they shared Junior's menu...

...I mean, JEE-ZISSS....possibly there's someone FreepTown swooning over the fact that he's having chipolte potatoes, but for the rest of the world, does anyone really give a rat's ass?

I'll bet he's not even EATING that fake-ass Texas grub on his fake-ass Texas pig farm. I'll bet it's a traditional Connecticut Thanksgiving dinner, with all of the trimmings, at taxpayers' expense.

:grr:

Sounds like the usual PR bullshit. He probably doesn't even know that free-range is.
