Write a funny caption for this pardoned bird and the lame-duck president and leave it for us as a comment below. See what others have written about this picture before posting your caption. The best will earn a spot in next week's Caption Call Recap. We'll post last week's best photo captions later this afternoon.
And just in case you were on vacation and missed last week's pictures, check out a determined ice cream vendor, Beyonce's weird dance move, a kid's encounter with a weird robot and a Raven putting the atomic wedgie on a Philadelphia Eagles player.
(Of course, in our funny caption above we're referring to Sarah Palin's recent turkey pardoning ceremony which sparked a viral video.)
