Thanksgiving and Other Stuff

OK, I've told you what I won't do for Thanksgiving this year. I've decided what I will do. Since Thanksgiving falls on my day off this year, I've decided to cook. My meal will consist of a turducken breast, Cajun sausage stuffing, corn and cranberry sauce made from scratch. Last year, I made a complete turducken and took it to work. People are still raving about that. This year, since it's just me, I'm going to stuff a chicken breast into a duck breast into a turkey breast and stuff that with Cajun sausage. Yeah, like I have anything better to do. I have taken to slicing the kernels off corn on the cob. There's much less waste and it doesn't get in my teeth. I got a letter from Virginia last Monday informing me that I had not cashed a tax refund check for $151.00 and if I didn't request a replacement check by WEDNESDAY, they would put the money into an unclaimed funds account. So, I immediately popped a request into the mail and it must have gotten there on time, because I now have an extra $151, which I'm doing to apply to a bluetooth module for my car's audio/video/navigation system. Can't call it a car radio anymore. It is going to take all I have to come in to work tonight. It will be cold outside, I will be toasting my toes in front of my fireplace, while watching O'Reilly and sipping a cappuccino topped with whipped cream, and all will be right in the world. And then, I'll have to get up and spend another 10 hours in here writing about violence in Afghanistan, turmoil in Pakistan and deaths from a cyclone last week in Bangladesh. It seems when the world extends outside my apartment, very little is right. Remember about a year ago when Hillary said if Democrats were elected to Congress, they would bring down the "outrageous" price of gas? Whatever happened to that? But, milk is still more expensive. The End

Lone Ranger said...: Since it's already prepared, just follow the instructions. Allow for an extra hour just in case it doesn't cook in the alloted time. It should be quite moist and tasty.

I'm excited.

We know this is my dad's last one so we are all making a real effort to spend the whole day together cooking and playing football.

Thanks.; 10:10 PM

I don't use talking points, I create them.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
