Hi Margaret. Thanksgiving went better than expected. Please tell your nephew that I want another visit soon. It was so good to have him with us this year. He and Harold had a good time talking about the game, and his friend was such a help in the kitchen. I am so sorry to hear that your sister-in-law’s turkey was not as tender and moist as mine. Did she try the brine this year like I suggested? And the butter and bacon in the dressing instead of nuts? Butter and bacon. Remember that. You can make almost anything taste better with one or the other. Honestly, Margaret, I have never understood her insistence on cornbread stuffing with nuts in it. That combination would suck the moisture out of a Kleenex. I just don’t know about you Yankees sometimes. Stubborn as the day is long. Nuts in your dressing. I never…
Speaking of nuts, that dumb ass son-in-law of mine really did give me Sarah Palin’s book to review just like he said he would. The very idea that somehow a gift to me actually put money in her pocket… well I just don’t know how I feel about that. The only way I can stomach it at all is knowing that maybe my reviewing it here might prevent a few of our visitors from deciding to buy it to read themselves.
I’ll start reading it this week after I get my holiday cards out. Surely it couldn’t be as bad as that Coulter crap I read a few months ago. After all, it has all the makings of a fine novel: a rags to riches story filled with heartwarming musings about drilling for oil, raising your children’s children, and getting even with the world. I even hear the main character is really a vampire. A page turner for sure…
Tell Howard not to bother buying a copy for himself. I’ll send him this one when I am done. Maybe your sister-in-law could use it to stuff her turkey at Christmas! I mean it. Really.
Thank you for the information provided really good day, happy day

Are you OK Helen? I’m worried we haven’t heard from you for so long. It’s not precisely apt, but you and your readership might enjoy this blast from the past which makes me think about what you might be struggling through while trying to read The Mouth that Bored…

Hope to hear from you soon, as I’m sure your loyal readership would agree.

“I Wouldn’t Know” – The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan
“I Wouldn’t Know”
John McCain ran one of the most cynical and – surprise! – doomed presidential campaigns in memory. His soul is now on eBay somewhere (Mark Salter got a cut of the proceeds). He foisted on the country a person whom he had barely met and whom his campaign had barely vetted as presidential material if he, a 72 year-old survivor of torture and cancer, were to kick the bucket in office. And when asked perfectly legitimate questions about how he committed this act of supreme recklessness, he won’t say. Matt Lauer asked the obvious question and McCain bridled:
Lauer: From page 363, it says, and I’m combining two quotes here, in judging Palin, ‘was relying on vetting so hasty and haphazard it barely merited the name.’ ‘No one had interviewed her husband, no one had spoken to her political enemies, no vetters had descended on Alaska.’ Is it a fair assessment?
McCain: I wouldn’t know.
The fact is that I’m proud of Sarah Palin, I’m proud of the campaign we waged, she energized our party, she will be a major factor in American politics in the future, and I’m proud of our campaign–
This crap is a formula he has adopted to avoid taking responsibility for his criminal negligence as a presidential candidate and contempt for the office of the presidency. Lauer, to his enormous credit, kept pushing:

and a PS…here, realy HAD tried hard to fanthom an respectful explanation regarding Mac and his decision to latch on with Palin (who , was clear early on, was NOT a dream team-maker and it did indeed showed , just like that ridiculous embrace of Mac and Bush in 2004–that showed he was doing “duty” to promote an agenda as well, most figured it was for a future Presidential bidding but thought too, he would in meantime wonk for THE PEOPLE, NOT just GOPheads/etc–, there remained “hope” which proved errant at best…Think the float of he and Kerry is what prompted he and Lieberman and that actually could have been a game changer for the country as “independents” proved to be crucial to deciding a winner in ’08..that actually was far more viable than the Palin pick which was tragic , she was(and remains) an incompetentent in far too many critical areas and had NO PLACE on a “proper” ticket that WOULD serve OUR best intersts…It is frightenting that Mac allowed such to arise and at best , did attempt to figure perhaps it was his way of scuttling the GOP “chance” for the GOP clearing was not fully embracing him despite him being their nominee. Tried to figure it was his way of showing what dirty deeds/deeder’s were out and a out ma ipulating the strings of power/powerful and hard to fight and let it play out in our faces for all to grasp –the surprise was that due to other , yes indeed , innate and racist factorings, the race was closer than most reasonable folks would imagine -ossible …In all the aftermathing, even realizing he is in a fierce struggle to hold onto his Senate seat , think it abominible and contemptible of Mac to have been so evidently reckless with the nations well being at stake. Imagine for a moment IF Mac and P HAD succeeded…, even imagine if Mac and Joe had…any who think things are not all THAT with Obama and his crew, think how truly wretched things would have become with the “others” helming at this juncture–give it serious thought for we are heading into another election for later this year and the tenuous balance the Dems have as a majority does indeed need BOLSTERING in order to get much of anything done –60 in the Senate is NOT sufficient. Think truly that if there was indeed a greater “majority” in Dem numbers, there would be debate as well as effort to reach more across the aisle with the those on that other side perhaps grasping it would wonk best for all to truly wonk together FOR THE GOOD OF THE NATION and benefit from such all the way around. The present situation SUCKS BIGTIME and thensome with the fracturous obstructionismaticals damaging to us all. Am torn to whether Mac SHOULD lose or not his latest bid…his opponent is not a hidden gem for sure so am inclined to suppoirt Mac’s re-election , just find pitiful the groveling and etc’s he IS willing to do to hold onto it all–sure hope it is for a good reason, not just ego based/etc’d !)

Anon: Merry Christmas!
Michele Bachmann – WELFARE QUEEN!!
Anon: Please ask Michelle about her $250,000 check from the government. Ask her why it is OK to accept that money but then vote NO on unemployment compensation for those out of work. Ask her why it is OK to accept her wellfare but deny poor folks health care.
I would love for Helen or Margaret to be my grandma. Helen is like my mother actually. (Wish my mom were still with us.)

Not necessarily in the spirit of the day, but I thought it so sensible and humorous, I have to share it with you guys.
If you believe the massive snowstorm proves that global warming isn’t real, then by your logic, you are immortal because you didn’t die last weekend. So, I’m calling all wingnuts to prove that theory and jump off a tall building. (Ref: August J. Pollack).

Palin did come to Minnesota and had a book signing at the Mall of America. 1500 fools showed up and 1 normal person. The normal person threw 2 tomatoes at the bitch and got arrested. The fools continued to mindlessly stand in line to bow to their princess and had never noticed that tomato’s were lobbed at their goddess.
