Highlights from today's Thanksgiving Parade.

Seriously??? 2012 Chase for the Sprint Cup Winner Brad Keselowski...and you put him in a Ford?!?

His honor, The Mayor.

Yes, EPU was very watchful of the crowds this morning. Can't imagine why?

Something to experience and enjoy first-hand, if you ever get the chance.

It was especially gratifying to see the crowd actually stand and applaud this float when it passed by (on BOTH sides of Woodward no less).

And can't forget this guy.

Well, I gotta roll.

Peace, one of two turkeys pardoned by President Obama last year, was euthanized Monday, according to an official who insisted the timing of the death - days before the Thanksgiving holiday - was not suspicious.

Rebecca Aloisi, vice president for marketing at the Mount Vernon Estate, confirmed that Peace had been dead after a weekend "illness." But Aloise knew neither the nature of the illness, the manner of death, nor what had been done with the remains of the large, edible bird.

"I appreciate where you're going with this," Aloisi told CNN. "But I assure you that these birds are extremely well cared for." The decision to euthanize the bird was made by a veterinarian in consultation with Mount Vernon's livestock department, she said.

Peace had served as the understudy for Liberty, another turkey, at the 2011 pardoning ceremony by President Obama. Obama chose to pardon both birds to spare them from the fate of the plate.

Yup.  Peace, was snuffed, and Liberty, is soon next.

Feh.  It's not worth getting angry about.
