Aahhh, isn't this perfect?
Look at how those nice English colonists are
taking good care of those hungry, heathen, brown people.
Kara posted the real story over at her place last year.
She also has a wonderful post up THIS year.

I've always had a hard time with this holiday...mostly because I feel like if I participate in any celebrations then I am somehow also complicit in the mythology of the history of Thanksgiving. Pottersville provides us with brilliant, articulate commentary on Cowboys and Iranians. (h/t Undeniable Liberalism), and Here's a great list of things to be thankful for this year, courtesy of Think Progress.
Happy, peaceful day, everyone.

For me, at my advanced age, I'm just grateful to gather with my family and my grandkids...
Hope you had a wonderful day!

I agree that the way it is presented is a crock, but I have no problem with the holiday itself. Happy belated Thanksgiving to all here.
i got my ass handed to me over on myspace for my thoughts this year. *sigh*
I'm finally doing some blogging.
Do ya think that's a plastic turkey she's holding in the picture like GW did in Iraq?
