Turkey fever.

It must really suck to be a turkey in A-merry-ca. Can you imagine a day dedicated to millions of people eating your ass? If you are a young turkey that is not the kind of future you want to look forward to. "What are you going to be when you grow up there little turkey?" "Some lucky family's meal on Thanksgiving Day, sir. And if I grow really big and strong, I will feed a really large family on Thanksgiving Day."

Wow, talk about f*&^%d up options.

Anyway, I wonder what would have happened if the Pilgrims (and let's not forget the Wampanoags) had caught some wild pigs instead of wild birds during that three day celebration back in 1621? A lot of us would have been pretty much left out of this whole Thanksgiving Day thing. I know I would have. Thank you Governor Bradford.

I know that I don't act like it sometimes, but I really have a lot to be thankful for. ---I can't even begin to count the ways.--- I suspect that a lot of you reading this feel the same way. You are bonding with your families and friends while surrounded by all the creature comforts that life affords you. It's hard to think about those folks here in A-merry-ca -and all over the world- who don't have much to be thankful for, but we should. And we should never forget how fortunate we are.

Life is all about perspective, and we should always keep things in their proper perspective. We should also do whatever we can to improve the plight of others less fortunate than we are. I know that you Christians reading this already do that, but I just thought that I would remind you

So Happy Turkey Day A-merry-ca, enjoy your meals tomorrow while you connect with your loved ones. And remember; be grateful for what you have. Because if you think about it; you could have been a damn turkey.

  9. One of the great myths of history is that the Pilgrims went to America to evade religious persecution. In fact they were looking for a place where they would be allowed to practice religious persecution without hinderance. The Puritans murdered others for holding different views to themselves both before and after they left England.

    The coincidences between the views of the Puritans and the Taliban are quite startling.

    So go ahead and throw down your turkey. Obviously you are not feeling that sorry for a turkey if your mouth is watering for his ass tomorrow. Gobble, gobble.

    Val, why is it that you are ALWAYS trying to make Whites look bad? You know half of these documentaries are false, don't you? But you would rather believe the settlers killed off everybody and brought a lot of diseases with them. That is NOT true, at all. If it were true, there would be no person of color alive today.

    The fact is the Whites helped save us. That's why folks like Field, Desertflower, and you celebrate Thanksgiving. While you are giving your thanks tomorrow show some gratitude for the Whites who have made your life immensely better!

    And now, a tradition as American as pumpkin pie: Rush Limbaugh's "true story of Thanksgiving."

    Remember the story of the first Thanksgiving? Well, according to the story that Limbaugh tells almost every year on his radio show, history books, your parents and all the best elementary school plays left out one crucial part: socialism.

    Yes, the pilgrims came to Plymouth, Massachusetts to seek religious freedom and build a new home. But, as Limbaugh explains, their plan was almost scuttled when a social contract they'd made backfired.
    The original contract the Pilgrims had entered into with their merchant sponsors in London called for everything they produced to go into a common store, and each member of the community was entitled to one common share. All of the land that they cleared and the houses they built belonged to the community as well. Now, they were going to distribute it equally; all the land they cleared, all the houses they built belonged to the community. Nobody owned anything. They just had a share in it. It was a commune.

    Damn, Field. I didn't know that pork was unhealthy. I bought a huge ham for Thanksgiving, thinking I would go half vegan and save some fowl lives. I figured God wouldn't give a damn about pigs. Come to think of it I bet you have a few pigs on your blog, esp on Thanksgiving Day.

    BTW, I am so glad you are open today. It shows your dedication to Blacks, uninvited Whites, and zero Latinos. Do you ever wonder about those Latinos? I mean, at least the white racists show up to let us know they think we are slaves. But the Latinos act as if we don't even exist.

    I guess they follow the slogan, "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

    Pork isn't really unhealthy - it's actually just as healthy or moreso in some cases as beef. However there are many cultural taboos - going back to seventh day adventists follow the same dietary restrictions as Jews.

    So do we have a Sammy Davis Field in our midst who follows the laws of ancient Jews? Islamists also follow the same dietary rules with the restriction of Camels, they believe you can eat a camel if needed. Jews do not.
