Thanksgiving Rules!

Slowly emerging from my self-induced pie-coma, I count my blessings (though I cannot count the pieces of pie that I've had in the past few days and thank goodness for Lipitor.)

Thanksgiving is light years better than Christmas. The fact that retailers have not been able to shanghai Thanksgiving with mass commercialization and exploitation allows families to celebrate together without having to defer quality time (and massive quantities of cash) to shopping--what our fearless "family values"-laden leader has previously referred to as "every patriot's duty."
