Great articles SM! The HC one is very interesting, what do you think will happen? Especially since I'm still waiting on proof that Hussein's eligible to take office

They'll probably figure out a way around it, but I was just surprised at the potential snag.

Do you think they'll just ignore it, and hope it goes away?

I'm thinking there will be people who won't allow them to ignore it, but it doesn't mean they won't try to figure out a way to circumvent it.

Giving Thanks'
It was Thanksgiving, and for the first time our whole family was together.
By Jennifer James

November 23, 2008

It was Thanksgiving, and for the first time our whole family was together. Mom and Dad had to drive all night just to get here, but boy was it worth it! The Grandsters really know how to do it up right. The Grandsters being Grandpa and Grandma. We were all seated at the table, and I couldn't wait to dive into those mashed potatoes and gravy. And the smell of the turkey -- I thought I was going to faint with happiness.

"What's that, Mindy?" demanded my little cousin Sam. He can be such a pain. He is 8 years old, two years younger than I am.

"What's what?" I asked.

He pointed to a little paper cup containing just three kernels of corn beside Grandpa's plate. I opened my mouth to answer and then realized I didn't know. Ugh! How I hate admitting that I don't know something!

Grandma answered, "It is to pay tribute to the Pilgrims."

"But why three kernels?" asked the always curious Sam. Give it a rest, I thought.

Grandpa answered, "It reminds me of what a tough time the Pilgrims had. In the beginning, three kernels of corn was each person's daily food ration." The table got real quiet after he said that.

Grandpa continued, "Against all odds, they made a life for themselves in the wilderness. Let's talk more about it after dinner."

Sure enough, dinner was over and Sam wanted to know more.

" Squanto taught the Pilgrims to grow corn!" Sam exclaimed. He's never going to forget that -- he played Squanto in the Thanksgiving Day play at school.

"That's right," Grandpa said. "But at first the Pilgrims were terrified of the Indians, as they called them. Then one day a tribesman named Samoset ventured into their encampment. He was tall and dark and by many accounts quite handsome. Loudly and plainly he proclaimed, 'Welcome!' in perfect English."

"The Pilgrims must have freaked!" shouted Sam.

Grandpa laughed and agreed. "I'm sure you're right. He had learned the language from English fishermen. For the Pilgrims, life was a constant battle for survival. Later, Governor William Bradford made a decision. Instead of the colonists sharing their crops equally, he assigned a parcel of land to each family and told them they could keep whatever they produced for themselves."

"Then what happened?" asked Sam.

"At last the Pilgrims began to prosper. Governor William Bradford wrote in his book 'Of Plimoth Plantation,' 'This had very good success, for it made all hands industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been.' "

"Shoot! If you can keep everything you make, of course you're going to work harder. Everybody knows that."

Grandpa answered, "The first seed had been planted for the American Revolution. People were free to practice their religions as they saw fit and were free to keep the fruits of their labor. This had never happened before in the history of mankind. In the words of William Bradford, 'As one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone unto many, yea in some sort to our whole nation.' "

"That William Bradford sounds like a pretty cool guy," said Sam.

"He was a pretty cool guy," Grandpa said with a chuckle.

JB, beautiful quilt and even more beautiful baby! Hope he's doing well.

I'm popping in for a moment, but seriously... what's up with the upset over the turkey video? Her office, I think it was, already put out a statement that said Gov. Palin had no idea what was happening behind her, and that's why she didn't ask the camera crew to move. Apparently they even asked after the fact to please edit that part of the view out so it wouldn't upset anyone. I mean, honestly. I don't get why this is a big deal, even to the extent of MSNBC making it breaking news the other day.

 

[pepperw23]

I know! If it were Obama the comments would be "Oh look he is making Turkey for the poor" or whatever.... (you can insert your own "Oh Look" comment here, you get the jist.)

Oh come on....we all know why it's a big deal. The kittehs were behind it all!

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Dang y'all! A week or so off the computer has my snarkiness all jammed up - like Samantha's powers in Bewitched....watch out everyone, I'm outta control!

First of all, SD - whatcha watchin' MSNBC for?!??!?!? Step away from the libs, contact with them will only make you CRRAAAZZZYYYYY!!!!!

Second, obviously that evil Sarah Palin let the turkey out of the bag when she exposed to the innocent liberal world that turkeys have to D-I-E before they show up on our Thanksgiving tables....

Third, perhaps this is their way of exposing that they aren't happy with their Messiah's 'centrist' Cabinet picks - I'm sure he's driving the far left crazy, or crazier than they already are. [not that I'm fooled at all by this, H will swerve a sharp left soon enough]

Whatever it is, she must be doing something right...keep it up, SP!

Oh my gosh, they're insane out there tonight. You know, if this is how they behave after they've won, maybe it's a good thing "The One" didn't lose...

well, wait.. what am I saying?

It's still really bad that he won -but, can I just say that they're insane? And since I thought I was going to vote for a Democrat earlier this year (I'm thinking that I won't be thinking that way anymore) I'm thankful that I never drank the kool-aid and saw who both Obama and the majority of his supporters are from the beginning.

Facts, facts, facts... since when do they matter? In regards to Palin, the OS only see red. They don't hear anything and they ignore all facts. All they see is a Conservative woman who is Christian and has the *gasp* audacity to be pro-life and believe that a baby should live and not be murdered. They can't stand that a woman is climbing the political ladder and is not one of them. It drives them insane!

I know! If it were Obama the comments would be "Oh look he is making Turkey for the poor" or whatever.... (you can insert your own "Oh Look" comment here, you get the jist.)

You know it. That's how hypocritical they are. Palin doing something = bad ... Obama doing the exact same thing = good
