Turkey gets pardoned. "Not so fast, Gobbles", says coyote.

This hasn't been the best of years for Bill Bates.

Alabama's best-known turkey-growing Republican remains in mourning after his party got clobbered by the Democrats in the mid-term elections two weeks ago. (BONUS!)

On top of that, Clyde got eaten by a coyote. Actually, it was last year's Clyde, the name Bates has given to the best bird in his flock for the past 60 years.

His current Clyde was "pardoned" by Gov. Bob Riley on Wednesday during Bates' annual trip to the Capitol to officially welcome the holiday season.
