Sunday Mop Up 11/23/08
It's chilly in Texas. I like it. It's Sunday in Texas. I like that, too. It's time for my Sunday Mop Up. Meh.
My Favorite Holiday Of The Year!
I know, I've said it over and over, but MAN I love me some Thanksgiving! What a great concept: take a day to think about your Life and all the blessings you have in it. Shut up for a little bit and bask in Gratitude and Thankfullness (is that a word?) and Humility.
The important part is to go inward and reflect on all that you have been given. Tell people that you love that you love them. Acknowledge those who put up with your bullshit on a regular basis. You DO know that you can be a pain in the ass, right? Trust.
People always assume that I love Thanksgiving because I'm a fat guy and food is all over the place on that day. Wrong. I swear to God that it aint about the food.
For those of you who check in on me here, I'd like to thank you, as well. I feel very blessed that anyone would take the time to follow along. I am quite fond of many of you. I hope your Thanksgiving is meaningful, relaxing, safe, and full of joy.
A Special Thanksgiving Message From Sarah Palin
In the event there might be two or three people in the country who haven't seen this yet, I feel compelled to share it. Let me give you some context:
Palin was invited this year to do the annual "Pardoning Of The Turkey" in Alaska. Probably a state event similar to the thing the Prez of the United States does every year, right?
Well, she goes, pardons the dang turkey, and then gets interviewed by a local news station. She talks about the presidential campaign, and what her plans for Thanksgiving will be - all while standing in front of a Turkey Slaughter Contraption while some very creepy Turkey Slaughter Technician, in blood-splattered pants, is killing turkeys directly behind her.
It's so amazingly ironic and stupid, or arrogant, that I can barely believe it wasn't a set-up. Please, judge for yourself:
Her moment as a viable political candidate on the national scene is as dead at the poor turkeys behind her. This thing may play in Alaska, but most of us are, surely, disgusted.

Thanksgiving's my fave holiday too.
I've read about Palin's moment and read discussion of it as well, and I've so far refused to watch the video, and it has nothing to do with the turkeys in the background. I did a great job of ignoring the turkey in the foreground throughout her candidacy and don't need to hear her dumb ass talk now.
Having said all that, I hope your Thanksgiving is awesome. I'm always glad for Sundays because I know at some point there will be a post from you. Thanks, and have a great holiday!
Oh my gawd, I'd never seen the video.
'scuse me while I vomit.
It just proves again that she is such a joke. By the way, Happy Thanksgiving to you too!
