News, but not the serious kind
A goofy Thanksgiving to all!
Happy Thanksgiving, Blog Guy!
Thanks, and the same to you and to all my readers.
So what are you thankful for This Thanksgiving?
Me? I’m feeling very blessed to be surrounded by my dear family and great friends.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course you have to say that, but specifically, what are you thankful for right now, this minute?
Oh. Well, I’m thankful that I live in a country where nobody can force me to watch Charlie Sheen or listen to accordion music or eat Brussels sprouts.
That’s good. And what else?
I’m thankful for bountiful gaffes, such as “Oops,” and the “Happy Birthday” to Elvis and “I got all this stuff twirling around in my head.”
Come back, Sarah, it’s not too late!
Blog Guy, you look pretty upset. What’s wrong?
Are you kidding me? It’s the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination. All the potential fun is evaporating before my eyes!
What do you mean?
I still can’t believe it. Sarah Palin now says she’s not running!
Two days ago, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie opted not to run. Donald Trump flirted with a bid, then dropped out.
Abe! How’s life at your Gettysburg address?
Blog Guy, is it just me, or am I seeing lots of photos of Abraham Lincoln in the news these days?
Yes, I’ve noticed it, too. Most recently with presidential candidate Michele Bachmann greeting a Lincoln lookalike at a Republican dinner in Iowa a couple of days ago.
Eat it off the stick, Rick!
Blog Guy, when Michele Bachmann came out ahead in that Iowa straw poll thing you did a pithy analysis attributing the success to eating a corn dog in public. So where does that leave the newest candidate, Texas Governor Rick Perry, who didn’t compete in the Iowa event? Is he home free?
Hardly. He had to race to Iowa yesterday for some serious catch-up.
Heh, heh, heh. You mean Ketchup?
Stop punning with my punditry. The fact remains, no candidate has ever not won the nomination without not eating an Iowa State Fair corn dog.
Michele Bachmann, the wurst winner ever?
“I am Ioway born and bred, and on Ioway corn I’m fed…” **
Hey Blog Guy, so Michele Bachmann won that Iowa thing. What do you think swung it her way?
Sometimes the blog just writes itself…
Okay, these numbers just make no sense to me. The latest New York Times/CBS News Poll shows that 82 percent of Americans now disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job.
So wait. You’re telling me that 18 percent of Americans DO approve of how they’re doing? Seriously?
