Let’s get into the Thanksgiving swing of things.

In other news, the Pinedale Shopping Mall has just been bombed with live turkeys.

Film at 11:00.

Anyone know of other videos that have that special Thanksgiving spirit?

#147 Squawk, over the years we’ve had service with AT&T, Nextel, Sprint, T-Mobile, and currently Verizon. I don’t use it much, but my daughters tell me that the coverage is best with Verizon.

Considering that you’re on the edge of the coverage area, and that effective radiated power increases with altitude, you might give this idea a try.

Have y’all seen the tv spot for Uloric gout medicine? It features a middle-aged man carrying around a 4-liter flask of green liquid wherever he goes. One place looks like a bus terminal. Now let’s see him show up at an airport and have an encounter with the TSA pat-down squad.

From Bryan Fischer’s original post: The Medal of Honor will be awarded this afternoon to Army Staff Sgt. Salvatore Giunta for his heroism in Afghanistan, and deservedly so. He took a bullet in his protective vest as he pulled one soldier to safety, and then rescued the sergeant who was walking point and had been taken captive by two Taliban,… Read more »

Giunta wasn’t being nice to the enemy (Afghan/Taliban insurgents) — he went in against their weapons and rescued a fellow American soldier. A wounded soldier who died, but whose body was returned to his family — not lost to the enemy who were dragging him away when Giunta and another American intervened.

And then there’s GJT who does a fine job of illustrating the conspiracy theory by insisting, with no evidence whatsoever, that sexual orientation alone is Parker’s motivation in selecting appointees.

Good grief, mharper. Need I again mention the gay couple that lives at the end of the cul-de-sac who everybody likes and noone harrasses? Don’t heterosexuals get harrassed by gays?

Such a pointless base of argument.
