“‘I, Mayor Murray, pardon Braeburn the Tofurky,’ the mayor proclaimed in the atrium of Seattle City Hall.” ....
The Tofurkeys will be donated to the Rainier Valley Food Bank, which doesn’t really sound like they’re getting pardoned at all.
Like pretty much everything else there, things are not what they seem.
stay safe.

This just takes all the fun out of choosing Thanksgiving dinner...

In short, all the stereotypes of politically correct, coffee-slurping, nature-loving, Birkenstock-wearing hippie-dom come to life in a single city are true.
Will steal, copyrighted material notwithstanding. Reminds me of Boulder, Colorado. Lived there 30 years, watched it transform into exactly that. Enough was enough.
The "nature-loving" was OK, but when it became "nature-worshiping" and part of the leftist catechism... enough was enough, again.
I'm not signing this one so nobody will know who posted it.

Murray’s office is challenging the city council to a food drive; the winner gets doughnuts.
Locally sourced, organic, and gluten-free.

Keep Seattle Weird indeed...

I was in Boulder just over a year ago, helping with flood cleanup. I found it very difficult not to be judgmental; not so much against the people I met, but against the community as a whole. Priuses and electric cars and bicycles everywhere, and every jogger had an attractive dog. I don't think I saw an ugly dog the whole time I was there :D There was also a vague evil presence I could sort of feel... but that might have been me.

He didn't really pardon it anyways, as it was sent on to a foodbank to be used. I really feel sorry for the poor soul that gets that at the food bank.
