India's premier, turkeys to spend night at Willard

Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh is not the only top White House guest staying at the Willard InterContinental Hotel this week: Turns out, the two very lucky turkeys the president pardons Wednesday will be cooped up in the historic spot, as well.

When the birds check in Tuesday, they'll be housed in a deluxe guest room with an adjoining room for their handler, and baby gates will pen them in. Hotel spokeswoman Barbara Bahny made it very clear the turkeys would be housed near the bathroom and not near the beds.

As to which one of the White House guests is getting a better spot, Bahny laid it out simply: "The turkeys are in little cages, and the prime minister is the head of state."

I'm the same way, I do my best to remain neutral. It's hard, if you communicate with the person the other person dislikes, then you fall out of favor with them! I simple can't dislike a person, just because someone else does, I just can't.
