Frying a turkey on Thanksgiving became a tradition about the same time that America turned into a cultural Chernobyl.

Nuke the party from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

I call bullshit on your "lawyer friend" story. My Wife has been practicing for over 20 years and has worked in practices ranging from legal aid to a childrens law center to solo practice all the way up to a big firm. Nobody is ever in their offices on Thanksgiving. None of them. Her partner who handles capital murder…

I bet that Thanksgiving is a pretty lonely day for you, isn't it? And it's not because of having to work.

Bollocks. My Wife is a litigation partner at one of the largest and oldest law firms in our City. Neither she nor any other lawyer she knows works on Thanksgiving. None of the paralegals or support staff works on Thanksgiving. If your fellow grad students choose to do school work over the holiday that is their choice,…

Let me break the news to you : the vast majority of Americans have Thanksgiving off. If we allow our corporate overlords to change that reality without a fight, then before you know it we will all be working on major holidays.

So because you have to work holidays, EVERYONE should have to work holidays, right? Just a few years ago these retailers were not open on Thanksgiving. Pure corporate greed is the sole reason they are now opening on Thanksgiving. Enough is enough.

Good point, the disgust might be the only way that we can rid ourselves of this plague of reality television. Then again, to quote HL Menchen: "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public"

HEAR!! HEAR!! I would also add "Frank Sinatra Sings for Only the Lonely". So much sad emotion in that album.

"a post-apocalyptic thriller"

Ah, Bach

OUTSTANDING!!!

An electrified border fence as well as a crocodile and shark field mote surrounding the border with the Confederacy should take care of any potential refugees trying to reenter the north

Florida has to go, needless to say. Finally the dream can be realized:

Refugees wouldn't be a problem. There would be plenty of wingers who would be moving South, as well as liberals moving North. A house/property exchange could be set up where those in the north could swap homes, businesses and property with those in the south. Give 12 months for everyone to move. Problem solved.

Amen! Build a border fence and put a 10,000% tariff on imports from Reaganland.

We've got a rare chance for a do-over so let's get it right and send the South packing this time.

Well done. You win the internets today.

Did you see the police photos of Bristol barefoot and wearing a camouflage pattern thong dress? Very, umm, classy.
