    In reply to How to Talk to Your Conservative Relatives
    At my Thanksgiving dinner we had, among others: my quasi-aunt who loves Jesus so much she writes Bible verses on everything, like wrapping paper and grocery lists, my cadre of Jewish relatives, some so observant they show up after dinner because we don't keep kosher, my aunt from Mali, who just loves Obama, as well as my Lebanese aunt who is happy to tell anyone who will listen that Hezbollah gets a bad rap.

    And nobody fought about politics! Probably because despite all our differences, we are all pinko fags at heart.

    It's not that Sarah Palin belongs in the kitchen. It's that she belongs in any room where I don't need to see/hear her.

    In reply to Shut Up PETA
    Wasn't there already a thread about this?

    Anyway, yeah. I eat ground up pork stuffed into intestines. I don't think that telling me my turkey has poop in it (what animal hasn't, at one point or another, had poop in it?) is going to dissuade me from eating it if I'm already inclined to do so.

    I think Ravi hits it right on the head. PETA is sending out too many messages (reform factory farming, everybody stop eating meat, etc) for any of them to be effective, and it doesn't help that 95% of the time they are absolutely obnoxious. They seem to have taken sanctimoniousness to extremes not because it works, but because they know it's what people already think of them and they're too lazy to move beyond sophomoric, rabblerousing activism.

    I'd venture that most of the regional differences could be attributable to people moving into an area, who want to cook what's plentiful.

    As for the brussel sprouts from the piece... my wife and daughter did a GS cookie booth at a local market the other day and after watching so many people buying stalks of sprouts, they figured there must be a bumper crop this year.

    My family found out my mom had brain cancer on thanskgiving- she had her first seizure on that morning. Nothing like a death sentence to put a damper on the mood.

    It sounds to me that he says "every time my name brand is brought up". I can't tell for sure and they're obviously having some shock-jock fun, but it sounds like he may not want her besmirching his brand.

    On Thanksgiving days of yore, the officers would wear their dress blues and bring their families to the mess hall to eat with the troops. Politics were not discussed, but the various attributes of the officers' daughters were debated at length and with vigor among we young enlisted men.

    Then, I became an officer, wore my dress blues and ate at the mess hall where the various attributes of the senior officers' daughters were debated at length and with vigor among the young lieutenants. And then we would ship out and kill people.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    "I don't think things are hoots.."
    This totally makes we want to employ the word "hoot" ad nauseaum.

    Have your relatives over to your house and cook them a vegan Thanksgiving dinner. They'll be bitching about the food so much they won't have the time or the energy to talk about politics.
