Well, while the turkey may be around for a while longer, I’m sure the pies and cakes have disappeared by now. The family has gone home, some to disappear into screaming mobs of shoppers, and others to watch football, and yet others who are waiting for the crowds to die down.
Personally, I did some yard work yesterday morning, before the weather changes this weekend. I gathered a whole cart full of thistles. I went to visit my sister to deliver her sampler platter of Thanksgiving dinner, since she and her husband could not attend due to his illness. While there, we took our usual tour of the garden and chickens, and I asked the chickens could have eaten the thistles I had pulled up. That led me to an internet search which revealed, that yes indeedy, thistles ARE edible! I found a good site on foraging here, which I found interesting.
The shopping will happen later. Possibly online. But I have to figure out when to pull out the Christmas decorations. Traditionally, Lovely Daughter and Handsome Son take over the decorating, but Handsome is working a lot, and Lovely has her own home to care for this year.
PS: I thought I had this scheduled to be up in the wee hours of this morning. Sorry for the delay.

The video, which graphically shows the process of human progression, begins by showing an egg being fertilized and ends by illustrating a baby’s actual birth. Throughout the clip, viewers see the full fetal development, with explanations about what, exactly, is happening at each phase. But the imagery is spellbinding.
Watch the astounding video, below. The actual sequence of a fetus’ development begins at 2:05, with Tsiaras explaining the development process both before and after the clip:I liked the very end of the birth depiction. You see the baby’s real head and torso outside his mommny but the rest of his body computerized and still struggling to get out. This is really neat.

He polls well below 1%. He may get the stoner vote…if they remember to go vote.
Yup, that about sums up Gary Johnson’s candidacy.

Am I living in Bizzaro Land or what? Up is down, in is out, right is wrong, the LEFT is now the RIGHT?
The payroll tax holiday hasn’t done anything to stimulate job growth, so Republicans may not support extending the tax cut favored by President Obama and Democrats — at least in its current formula — a key GOP senator said Sunday.
and then this?
Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate, said not extending the payroll tax holiday will amount to a tax increase of $1,500 for the average family.
But what burns me most:
But, he (John Kyl) said, even though Republicans backed tax breaks under George W. Bush that were not paid for, the payroll tax holiday is a different ball of wax.
WHAT IS THIS PAID FOR CRAP????? Yeah yeah I already know……………………….

Saw Gary Johnson on Fox News Channel’s Special Report, Center Seat (individual interviews with the GOP nominee wannabes) several weeks ago. For all the world it looked like a takeoff on a sketch that could have been on the Carol Burnet show or Laugh-In. The panelists showed remarkable creativity in keeping straight faces in between posing their questions and hearing his-ahem-replies. Charles Krauthammer deserved an Emmy for his performance in holding it together; the other three deserve a best supporting Emmy.
Anyone who is adept at finding it and posting it, please do so. That’s above my pay grade….
I dare say the Libertarians need to worry if he wants to run under their banner. How he was ever elected Gov. of New Mexico is a mystery. Unless of course the Area 51 crowd turned out in force. 🙂 -

I’ve been down on professional sports for a long time. Their demands for newer and newer stadiums, at the taxpayer’s expense, for them to get rich was way too much for me. I can’t remember the last time I watched a pro game in it’s entirety.
Ditto times 10. Professional team-sport players are a bunch of way over paid, crybabys, who have been coddled for their entire lives – because they were good at a wissin game. The owners are a bunch of treasury raiding thieves. With few exceptions, they all suck!

In a surprising and possibly game changing developement in the New Hampshire primary, the Manchester Union Leader has endorsed Newt Gingrich for President in a front page editorial of thier Sunday paper that is also available online outside thier normal printe edition firewall.
This newspaper endorses Newt Gingrich in the New Hampshire Presidential Primary.
America is at a crucial crossroads. It is not going to be enough to merely replace Barack Obama next year. We are in critical need of the innovative, forward-looking strategy and positive leadership that Gingrich has shown he is capable of providing.
He did so with the Contract with America. He did it in bringing in the first Republican House in 40 years and by forging balanced budgets and even a surplus despite the political challenge of dealing with a Democratic President. A lot of candidates say they’re going to improve Washington. Newt Gingrich has actually done that, and in this race he offers the best shot of doing it again.The American Spectator notes the significance of this endorsement:
New Hampshire’s largest newspaper, the Union Leader, endorsed Newt Gingrich today in a front-page editorial signed by publisher Joseph W. McQuaid. The paper’s contrarian conservatism — they rarely endorse frontrunners — has a history of shaping the New Hampshire Republican primary. The Union Leader endorsement helped propel Pat Buchanan to a surprisingly strong (given that he faced a sitting president) 40% of the vote in 1992, and to an upset victory over Bob Dole in 1996. Their endorsement of John McCain (a striking departure from the UL’s hostility to McCain eight years earlier) was a key factor in his New Hampshire victory in 2008, a remarkable comeback given that for much of 2007 McCain’s campaign was left for dead by many observers.

I thought we had decided the whole civility thing was a fad that had faded.
But here’s what I find incredibly disappointing. In the interview with Piers, Mark Kelly expressed his disappointment that Sarah Palin didn’t call them after the shooting. He was “surprised” by the lack of contact, apparently.
Piers, naturally, egged on this angle of the conversation, saying about Palin, “In her haste to take no responsibility, [she] didn’t even bother to pick the phone up, to write, to do anything. I find that extraordinary.” -

Good morning, Hamsterville. My little part of Houston went black at 7 pm last night. We heard one transformer blow that sounded fairly close, then a few seconds later, a more distant pop. We walked a short distance to the corner and could not see lighted houses in any direction. Got power back at 7:30 this morning.
It was 67 degrees in the house when I got up, not too bad. Haven’t heard a word what might have caused this power outage, but my guess is drought-weakened tree branches coming down in the high winds. -

This will tear the Republican vote into two and ensure an Obama victory.
Nope, what is going to insure an Obammy victory in 2012 is the REPUBLICAN party period end of story.
Y’all really need to read the article, digest it and understand what Caddell is trying to say, and realize that if the REPUBLICANS do not take advantage of this limp wristed weak president and tear him a new one and differentiate themselves they are going to lose. -

Islamabad (CNN) — A Pakistani woman is being held on suspicion of killing her husband, cutting him up and trying to cook the pieces, Karachi police said Friday.
Zainab Bibi, 32, was arrested in connection with the murder Tuesday of her husband Ahmad Abbas, police said.
Her 22-year-old nephew, Zaheer Ahmed, is accused of helping Bibi stab Abbas to death and carve his body into small pieces.I thought this woman seemed insane until…
In an interview broadcast late Thursday, she claimed to have killed her husband because he wanted a physical relationship with their daughter — and said she did not regret her actions.
“I killed my husband before he dared to touch my daughter,” she told ARY News.What else was she to do in hert society?

Shabbat Shalom y’all. It has been raining here in Glorious Copperfield since before sun up and it has been alternating twixt a light mist to a medium rain. THANK YOU ABBA FOR THE RAIN! Yesterday was a great day and it really hit me: my two chirrenses aint little kids anymore, they are young adults. I am quite confident that they will be pillars of the community -any in which they choose to live- and will lead happy and productive lives. Yes, I am quite proud of them.

Good morning Hamsters. The warmish 68 at 6 shall give way to the cold front later this morning after a wee bit of rain overnight–at least 5/100″ here is a wee bit. Looks like everything of more consequence is passing north of us, and only the NW corner of Fort Bend County is getting it. Oops, wrote too soon, an nice shower just rolled by. Thank you, Lord. Every drop counts.
Yesterday was pleasant because I avoided retail stores and areas where they are found in abundance. A trip to the local Randall’s was uneventful and delightfully quiet. Same goes for the nursery a couple of miles away. Both places had customers but none of the stark raving nuttly ones we keep reading/hearing about on the news. Might venture forth bundled up this afternoon to Brookwood Community in Brookshire to their greenhouse and gift shop. That will likewise be civilized. -

Yesterday was pleasant because I avoided retail stores and areas where they are found in abundance. A trip to the local Randall’s was uneventful and delightfully quiet. Same goes for the nursery a couple of miles away. Both places had customers but none of the stark raving nuttly ones we keep reading/hearing about on the news. Might venture forth bundled up this afternoon to Brookwood Community in Brookshire to their greenhouse and gift shop. That will likewise be civilized.

I am also dragging over a Thanksgiving post. Maybe it was a “you had to be there” kind of moment, but if you knew my aunt, you would understand just how funny this was.
****************************
Normally, those of us who go to my eldest sister’s house partake in a post prandial game of Pictionary, but there just weren’t that many of us this year. Eldest and her hubby pulled out their Wii and we set up my Aunt C and my father in their Wii system. Aunt C is one of those most wonderful and entertaining favorite aunts, elderly now, but always a fluttery type of personality and just cute as a button and funny as all get-out. Aunt C can’t really stand up straight anymore, and uses two canes for walking, and my dad has some back and health issues, so it was decided to set up the bowling game on the Wii, which is a game that they could play sitting down. Her reaction was typical. In her high pitched voice, she kept saying “Oh, Lord, I cain’t play this game!” and “I just know I’ll make a fool of myself!” and more “Oh, Lord!”s.
Well, Aunt C really never quite got the rhythm down of how to push the button and release it on her stroke, and she kept bending so far over that for a while we thought the sensor was losing sight of her. Her figure kept freezing before the bowling ball could release, but she kept trying. We were patient and kept encouraging her, and she ended up kicking my father’s butt and won the game. I was sitting next to her and high-fived her every time she scored a strike or a spare, which just tickled her pink. When she won, we all cheered, and then my brother-in-law picked up the controller and said he was playing the winner. “Oh, Lord,” Aunt C moaned, “I cain’t play against these professionals!” Well, BIL bowled on a different type of game, and for some reason couldn’t get the feel of the Wii. Aunt C continued freezing her figure and dropping very slow strikes. “I’m getting a workout!” she kept saying, swinging that arm and trying to release her button on time. She kicked BIL’s butt on the bowling game, with an even higher score than before.
About the eighth frame I leaned over and asked how old she was. “Eighty-four,” she replied, “why do you ask?” “Because I want to know how BIL is going to explain how he lost a bowling game to an eighty-four old woman!” I said. Aunt C just laughed and laughed, along with everyone else.
It was a good night. -

Well, Occupy Indianapolis goes more public than the other Occuliars regarding their protest by proxy. At least the homeless have tents, now.

I’m dragging this over from the Thanksgiving thread;
Well it looks like King Nicolas of Montenegro was a fan of the second amendment.What is a Montenegrin revolver? Basically it is a large-frame double action revolver chambered for the 11.25x36mm cartridge. These guns were made in Austria, Belgium and Spain. Oddly, none were made in Montenegro. The reason they became associated with Montenegro is that the king of that country ordered his citizens to own these revolvers. I think this is the only case in history where a national leader ordered the general population to arm themselves with a specific firearm.
“Every male citizen of Montenegro is a member of the Militia, and therefore not only justified but also obliged to possess at least one Gasser Pattern revolver.” That proclamation was issued by King Nicolas, who ruled Montenegro from 1910-1918. The Gasser Pattern revolver he was talking about was the Austrian Gasser Model 1870 revolver. This was the issued sidearm of Austria from 1870-1878. When they were replaced by the Gasser M1878, some of the earlier 1870s were sold to Montenegro. These became very popular with the military officers.
