News outlets like Fox will do their best to fan the flames longer, as we see in both of these clips.

Is Fox News subliminally supporting John McCain with flash frames?

I don't believe that it's solely up to Obama. No question he needs to reach out and welcome former Clinton supporters into the camp - but the job isn't his alone. Hillary Clinton should and, I'm confident will -- reach out as well and help pull together Democrats, helping to unite the party. But it will take more than Hillary and Barack's efforts. It will take all of us Democrats reaching out to heal the divide that'll really drive this process.

We saw about 3 groups of turkeys up in the Blue Ridge Mountains this weekend, near Blowing Rock. It must be mating season or something; I've never seen so many turkeys.
No danger of making an endangered species list.

Think flying cannon ball, then think windshield vs flying cannon ball. Also add that your head is at about the same height the bird will achieve on take off, and due to murphy's law it will take off flying towards your position behind the wheel. So I would put this in the not a good idea file.

When my aunt was a little girl, she got chased and snapped at by chickens. It took her a long time to get over that fear and start eating fried chicken again. I can only imagine what a trauma it would have been for her if one flew into her while she was on her bike.

Animal collisions can be pretty serious, I believe that deer / auto collisions result in more than a hundred fatalities each year.

I have a flock of 28 turkeys come through my yard twice a day -- the first time at about 5:45 am -- and cripes do they make a lot of noise.
But I never get tired of watching them.
The Red Tail doesn't even take a second look.
They've even scared off the coyotes.

Wild turkeys had nearly completely disappeared from my part of the country until they were "reintroduced" about 20 years ago. They're flourishing now.
Between the toms and hens, they have some fifteen distinctive calls, many of which are instructions from the Mother Hen to the rest of the group with her, and many of which are very loud. Great to have them back, even if they do annoy the dog.

Most of the wild turkeys around here populate downtown Portland, Bend and Corvalis.

We do have quite a few "turkeys" in Chapel Hill, but they don't fly.
