It would not be Thanksgiving without the clip of Sarah Palin babbling on incoherently while turkeys are being slaughtered behind her.
Hopefully, this Thanksgiving finds all of you safe and sheltered in place.
This will be the first year in almost two decades that I have been forced to cook my own holiday feast.
In years past all I was asked to contribute was some spinach dip and, of course, my rapier-like wit.
This year I am tackling a full-sized turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.
I am so overwhelmed, fortunately, on Thanksgiving Day the drinking can begin before noon.
It’s a rule, look it up.
Happy and Safe Thanksgiving to everyone !!
Remember when we thought our worst nightmare was sarah palin, gosh were we wrong.
gryph — down in the lower 48 we even start the adult beverages the night before (smile). have a safe and comforting day in the family bubble. and thank you for all these years of blogs and your rappier wit. !!
Albeit time-consuming, it’s one of the easiest holiday meals to make!
Let’s hope that, in the last decade, Our ‘Lady’ Of Perpetual Victimhood has learned proper use of a cheese knife.
Heck, who am I kidding. maybe she’ll just open up some pork and beans and eat ’em straight out of the can.
Happy Thanksgiving, IMers!
Good old Sarah Palin! I wonder what she’s up to today?
Todd is counting his blessings no doubt!
What is Sarah up to today?
SHE IS PREPARING FOR HER COMEBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 3; New York Young Republican Club, 108th Annual Holiday Gala with featured speakers:

NO, this is not a joke.

And here I thought it said “Young Republicans.” Must need glasses.
Up to no good, as always.
Happy Thanksgiving for a new. safe and hopeful beginning to everyone!
Why stop at turkeys? Why not also baby kittens, spotted owls, or the california condor?
Happy TG Gryph and fellow IMers.
Just the four of us but bonus Mystery Science Theater 3k marathon. Haven’t done this in 20 years!
Trump honed his pardoning with a turkey then Flynn. Who else? It was pointed out that in order for him to pardon himself he would have to been charged. Or guilty. I doubt if Trump plays chess but I am betting his handler does.

” Just saw the vote tabulations, There is NO WAY Biden got 80,000,000 votes!!! This was a 100% RIGGED ELECTION.”
Trump lost. Get over it!
Gosh what a lovely Thanksgiving Day message, not even one day of relief from his lies.

“I encourage all Americans to gather, in homes and places of worship, to offer a prayer of thanks to God for our many blessings,” Trump said at the end of the annual presidential Thanksgiving proclamation released by the White House press secretary’s office on Wednesday.

In contrast to Biden, who pleaded with Americans to celebrate the holiday safely by wearing masks and socially distancing, Trump in his Thanksgiving proclamation on Wednesday urged Americans to “gather” for the holiday.
“I encourage all Americans to gather, in homes and places of worship, to offer a prayer of thanks to God for our many blessings,” the president, who recovered from his own case of COVID-19 last month, said in a statement.
U.S. deaths from COVID-19 surpassed 2,000 in a single day on Tuesday for the first time since May, and hospitalizations reached a record of more than 89,000 on Wednesday.

President Joe Biden calls for shared sacrifice to fight the pandemic
….. “Faith, courage, sacrifice, service to country, service to each other and gratitude even in the face of suffering have long been part of what Thanksgiving means in America,” Biden said during the speech in his hometown of Wilmington, Del. “Looking back over our history, you will see that it’s been in the most difficult of circumstances that the soul of our nation has been forged.”

Drinking and cooking may sound like a pleasant pastime. Until you dump the scalding saucepan in your lap. Or better yet overflow the deep fryer on to a flaming gas stove. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby is all I’m sayin. Spoken from experience.
I know what you want right now, friend.
You want this to all be over.
You want your home to be full again.
You want to hear the sounds of your grandchildren running upstairs.
You want to show off to your neighbors how tall and beautiful your kids have gotten.
You want to use the table settings you bought 11 months ago that still haven’t been touched.
You want to fiercely embrace people you love and have gone so long without.
You want to get out of the few rooms that have been your entire world for nearly a year.
You want to pack a suitcase and get on a plane and be able to wake up surrounded by those you’ve been missing.
You want to smell your mom’s apple pie when you open a front door that you know like the back of your hand, and feel the beautiful deja vu of being home.
You want a joyful holiday to interrupt this sad repetition.
You want a vacation from the lingering loneliness.
You want to exhale deeply surrounded by your tribe.
You want to feel normal again.
I know you want these things because I want them, too.
I feel it all: the homesickness, the isolation, the incessant grieving over a year you’ve lost, the disbelief at every moment and milestone you’ve been robbed of, the volcanic anger because you want it to be over now.
But it isn’t over now.
It is far worse than it has ever been.
Of all the times not to give in to the exhaustion, it’s now.
Of all the seasons not to abandon diligence, it’s this one.
Of all the days not to lose patience, it’s today.
This virus wants that.
It wants you to say to hell with it all, to give in to the seasonal muscle memory that pulls you toward your people; to think that you can sidestep it simply by wishing it away; to imagine that the familiar faces or the greeting card surroundings or the momentary lightness make you immune to the danger—but they can’t.
Life and death are in your hands and in your plans right now.
The only way this virus does its violent, destructive, deadly work, is by getting the proximity to other people that only you can give it. It cannot have access to human bodies unless you escort it there upon your breath and through your laughter and in your stories—and into the lungs of your grandmother, your children, your best friends, your new grandchild, the person standing next to you at the grocery store, the people they know and love.
And in this way, this vile and unrelenting killer is relying upon you right now—and so are the people you share this place with.
And right now, the painful, counterintuitive but redemptive choice, is to show people how much you love them all by staying away from them.
I know how badly you want this gathering on this year, how much you need a respite from the grieving—but I hope you’ll want more than that.
I hope you’ll want years or even decades to make plans and go on vacations and celebrate birthdays and attend graduations and make memories and share meals, and do all the living you can. I hope that all those future possibilities and the multitude of lives you are tethered to—are worth more than a few hours this week.
