Happy Thanksgiving from The BRAD BLOG!

Please take a few hours off, as I hope to do, to give thanks for whatever it is that we still have left in this country to be thankful for. And that is certainly plenty.

Also please be sure to take a few minutes to read the first Guest Blog effort from our new friend, the lovely actress and author Lydia Cornell.

We will continue, of course, to bring you exciting, provocative and necessary reports, opinions and occasionally bad attitude here at BRAD BLOG. We are enormously thankful for all the support that you’ve given us as we continue to fight the good fight for as long as it takes.

Please have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! From “all of us” here at BRAD BLOG to you and all of your families… Brad

    And what am I thankfull for? All y’all. Y’all patriots that encourage me that I’m not crazy, that what I see happening to America is real, and that what I’m doing to fix it is important. Thanks Brad, WP, and all 6 or 7 of the rest of y’all.

    peace out

    Hey Brad, Winter, and the mighty 6 or 7,
    It’s been a hell of a year, no?
    I’m thanful for all of you here. For fighting so hard. For keeping the bright light shining on the bad guys. You’re amazing.

    Peace to you all,
    SS

    A great photo of a turkey. And the two guys on the left are photogenic, too.

    Happy holidays to Brad and all the loyal 6 or 7 squad!

    And to anyone who has tried to sign my petition, my apologies. I got spammed by some racist maniac immiately, and then the host site locked up and refused to allowed new signors.

    I have thus moved the peition to:

    Boxer petition

    Please take a moment to sign on, and let’s urge Seantor Boxer to stand up against election fraud!

    > give thanks for whatever it is that we still have left in this country to be thankful for. And that is certainly plenty.

    "whatever it is that we still have left" and "plenty" is really bad writing.

    Thanksgiving is to thank the Giver and since you guys do not believe in the Giver, who do you thank?

    My guess is nobody!

    Got to your site by a link at Hasen’s election site. You might VOTE for one of these TURKEYS using a DIEBOLD late model SUV-VOTINGMACHINE; or, rather, you might vote for the other candidate but the MACHINE VOTES FOR THE TURKEY REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU HAPPENED TO CAST YOUR VOTE. At least that is the newly reinforced theory discussed in this linked article published today in SF Chronicle describing a Finnish hacker’s controlled test of the Diebold voting machine in which the hacker succeeded in recasting votes in a county in FL. According to the newsitem the Finnish hacker is conducting another Diebold hack event in CA this week.

    For Paul: Speaking of bad writing, how do you explain the phrase "who do you thank?"

    Who: subjective, as in "Who has the right to speak for others concerning their religion?"

    Whom: objective, as in "Whom do you give thanks to?"

    Thanks for the link, John #19 – I just sent the gentleman a thank-you note, and would urge all Bradvillians to follow suit!

    Those other two should have grabbed that bird, quick. There’s one turkey in that pair of pants already!

    He pardoned two turkeys this year. I have two theories about that… 1) He is getting ready for next Thanksgiving when he might have to wrestle with the decision weather or not to pardon Libbey and Rowe…. or…. 2) He will pardon anything that isn’t a living, breathing human being (I mean what is with the inhuman track record of capital punishment executions when he was Governor of Texas?)
