Washington (AFP) - Some might call it fowl play to joke about their age, but US President Joe Biden made light of turning 81 as he spent his birthday pardoning two Thanksgiving turkeys on Monday. The oldest sitting president in US history, whose age is a concern for voters in opinion polls, said he had received a rendition of "Happy Birthday" before the annual ceremony at the White House. "I just want you to know it's difficult turning 60," Biden then said with a chuckle before officially sparing the two turkeys, named Liberty and Bell, from ending up on the Thanksgiving dinner table. It was j...

Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden on Monday used his powers as US president to pardon two turkeys, sparing them from winding up as the main course during an upcoming Thanksgiving dinner later this week. "I hereby pardon Chocolate and Chip," Biden said at the pardoning ceremony on the South Lawn, a lighthearted autumn event that has become something of a White House tradition. The large white birds, which were raised on a farm in North Carolina, were named for the president's favorite ice cream flavor, Biden told several schoolchildren who were present for the event. "That's a big bird," Biden quipp...

Plymouth (United States) (AFP) - In the fall of 1621, a handful of English pilgrims and Native Americans shared their first Thanksgiving in the settlement of Plymouth. Four centuries later, their respective descendants commemorated the legendary gathering in markedly different ways: while the pilgrims' successors donned costumes for a re-enactment, the remaining members of native groups held a day of mourning. For tens of millions of American families, Thanksgiving -- falling on the fourth Thursday of November -- brings a traditional all-day meal characterized by stuffed turkey, mashed potatoe...

Washington (AFP) - In a light-hearted end to a drama-filled week, Joe Biden issued the traditional presidential pardon to two turkeys Friday, saving them from heading to Thanksgiving tables. "Every American wants the same thing. They want to be able to look the turkey in the eye and tell them everything's going to be OK," Biden said in a comic spin on one of his trademark phrases about showing empathy for fellow Americans. "And so folks, it's going to be OK," he said. The two large white turkeys named Peanut Butter and Jelly won their clemency in a Rose Garden ceremony ahead of next Thursday's...
