Thankful for Ghosts of Thanksgivings PAST

“Liberty” the turkey, “pardoned” in 2001…

Fake turkey on a platter in Iraq, 2003 (the bird was phony too)…

And one classic — albeit gruesome! — Thanksgiving in Alaska, 2008…

All of our wishes, to you and yours, for a much happier Thanksgiving this year…from all of us here at The BRAD BLOG

    This makes you realize how different Obama is from all the Republicans. He simply never messes up in front of a camera.

    Floridiot:

    Holy Shit!

    Phil Davidson has a masters degree in communications. I’ve simply never seen anything like that before. When asked about the speech, he said:

    “My speech last night “” I knew it might be a little over the edge, but that’s how I felt at the time,” Davison said. “If it spurs someone to go on and say, ‘You know what, I want to go up there and talk like that too, I want to make a difference, I want to get involved in my community.’ If it affects one person in a positive way, then it was worth it.”

    A little over the edge? 🙂

    Ah, Thanksgiving memories…
    But what I’m thankful for on this particular Thanksgiving is an election (in spite of its byzantine, convoluted, and corrupt machinations) that reelected President Obama and so many great female politicians. Other things I’m thankful for are the tireless and stellar efforts made by Brad Friedman and Desi Doyen.
