Where did turkeys go?
The director of a Detroit food bank wants to know what happened to 60 turkeys -- 720 pounds of frozen birds -- that his charity gave to members of U.S. Rep. John Conyers' local staff two days before Thanksgiving to give to needy people.

My God! Conyers didn't keep track of the 79 turkeys distributed for Christmas!

The good news is that this is the best they can do.

4. So nice of you to repeat the smear tactic around yet again.
What, upset this smear tactic is not on the front page so you just have to post it again?

5. Try again.
This does not rise to the level of a smear. This is pathetic pandering by the press, at very best laughable.
