The Daily News
2 Ah, I hear President Bush gave a pardon to two turkeys.
3 I remember the days when a President pardoned a whole ton of turkeys.
4 I must say though that for once, Bush was somewhat amusing.
5 He said that the names of the turkeys he pardoned were "May" and "Flower".
6 And he said that the vice-president wanted to name them "Lunch" and "Dinner".
7 Okay I'll give the guy that one.
8 It's a holiday anyway, and a darned good one.
9 Anybody working or doing schoolwork after 12 noon today must at least PRETEND they are doing those things, because the rest of us are already goofing off.
10 It wasn't really fair for me personally though, because I have been down with a cold the past few days. I didn't even go in yesterday.
11 I won't waste precious time telling you about this nasty cold because NOBODY really wants to hear about someone's cold during the cold season. Hey, you got a cold. And?
12 Once again, you might as well be pouring air out of a Dixie cup.
13 Moving on: Okay, I SWEAR to you I have not been watching teevee AND that I have cut my driving down by at least two-thirds, sort of a solo protest to the strike and to the RIDICULOUS gas-price gouging going on. I've stepped up riding my bike, and it's been awesome. WHEN the teevee is on for OTHERS, I have ignored it unless it's a DVD.
14 But I somehow wound up watching the last episode of The Bachelor the other night, completing an entire season of watching a show I absolutely have disdained from the beginning.
15 Did ANYONE take a gander at that one? That creampuff imbecile got down to the last two girls who he was going to go down the aisle with, and proceeded to wuss out on BOTH.
16 I think this guy may have just played everyone, or that the entire thing was scripted.
17 Scandalous.
18 I threw a lamp through my teevee. I hope I killed the bastard.
19 Ah, what's it matter? It's Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The day is sunny and blustery; families and friends are gathering; glasses are being raised, hugs are happening all over, kids are smiling and dogs are wagging their tales in joy.
20 Somewhere, some stoners are in the park skateboarding and enjoying the fallen leaves.
21 Some kid is doing criss-cross steps to a huge radio while his friends are grinning.
22 Someone's flying a kite.
23 And everywhere there is a sense of smiling and reacquainting.
24 And you know, May and Flower now have a new lease on life.
25 Don't we all this time of year.
26 You guys have a lovely Thanksgiving.
27 Count your blessings, not your calories.
28 See ya Monday.
29 Peace.
