Fake turkey in Iraq.


“I could really use a pardon.”

…And, among other things, that so many of you have joined me, for so long, during this bizarre and often horrifying journey, for so many years. My thanks to you all, and hopes for a peaceful holiday for you and yours. — Brad

    Wasn’t Rick santorum afraid of man-on-fowl relations?

    “Hehe Mr. Gobble-Gobble, Laura won’t go there any more.”

    “You don’t go to war with the Turkey you want, you go to war with the Turkey you HAVE.”

    and

    “Must be one of those left-wing, liberal Turkeys.”
    or
    “One. Patriotic. Turkey.”
    or
    “Terrorist Turkey seizes opportunity to avenge cousin’s grizzly death in Palin video.”

    But I really love Flo’s “pecker getting pecked..” That one’s hard to top.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Brad, and to all the nice folks of Bradville. In that top picture, yes, one of the turkeys is a fake, but the other one is all too real, unfortunately, no, disasterously, catastrophically, even…

    Many thanks to you,Brad,for your leadership role in our fight for election integrity and real democracy in the US.

    We are now entering the next chapter in that long journey in which we will have to force the “other political party”(Democratic)to live up to it’s name and move significantly in our direction.

    We cannot and will not rest until we achieve the ultimate goal.

    Belated Happy Thanksgiving to all Bradonians.
    I give thanks for your blog because it kept me from hating all of the people in the USA 🙂
    Thankful I won’t have to see the word embolden, surge, Mission Accomplished. Will be especially thankful when some punishment comes to those that F@#ked with your country

    Also selfishly thankful that Monday, Dec 1, 2008
    “The Liberal Opposition plans to introduce a motion in the House of Commons on Monday declaring non-confidence in the minority Conservative government and proposing a governing coalition.”

    WOOT!!!

    Oops spoke too soon, “Barack Obama is preparing to send at least 20,000 more US soldiers into Afghanistan in a “surge” similar to the deployment that contributed to security improvements in Iraq.”
    via Rawstory.
    Got to keep that opium flowing! SURGE ON

    Brad, John and others, I am thankful for you and to you. Thanks for sticking with this. More needed! At least we may be seeing the last of the Bush turkey.

    Hey!, John, “sternly worded letter” Conyers is throwing us another bone to chew on, of course not mentioning that Tom “drug company lobbiest” Daschle is on the new “make the healthcare for all profitable to the insurance and drug companies” board of getting the plan into effect…

    Oh well, take it at face value “my friends”, Great plan, but I’m not impressed.

    TOP PICTURE:
    BUSH: “I appreciate your efforts. See, I’m putting effort into the war, too — this tray is the heaviest thing I’ve ever carried! Now, can you direct me to a table — this height, open space — wait, no, instead — quick! Bring me a table!”

    BOTTOM PICTURE:
    AGENT BACK AT THE REMOTE WATCHING THE TURKEY SPY-CAM VIDEO: It’s true. Nothing. The old man DID get Koop to lop it off in the 80’s! No wonder Billy Graham didn’t remember the walk on the beach!
    2ND AGENT: …and what a price the world has paid.
