    In reply to Obama Sends Turkey to Die in California
    I'm sad to hear about what happens to these turkeys. Shame on Disney... I hope they take better care of their other animals. But on a much happier note, Happy (Healthy) Turkey Day, everybody!!

    Something delightfully Chamber of Commercey about the way most powerful man in the world, the President of the United States, gives a plug to "thank Jaindl's Turkey Farm in Orefield, Pennsylvania, for donating those dressed birds for dinner."
    Happy Thanksgiving, to all!

    Is it wrong that I love this? It's ridiculous, but I really enjoy a completely unpolitical moment in stupid American tradition.

    And Obama is funny. On purpose. I love that too.

    "I don't know about the haircut," he says to the turkey, and somewhere in America Maureen Dowd lets out a tiny squeal of delight.

    One question - why haven't we heard this about the turkeys before? I already knew they were too fat to mate on their own, but heart attacks? While it wouldn't surprise me that factory-farmed anything wouldn't live much longer than originally intended when "pardoned," it still kind of disgusts me. We really ought to get over this once a year obsession with turkeys. I bet most people don't even like to eat the damn things as much as they like, say, pork chops, and I also read once that pork is about the most cost-efficient meat you can raise on a farm, factory or otherwise.

    FWIW, we're having Cornish game hens with the other usual Thanksgiving crap. We're just too small a group for your average Wal-Mart turkey which, unlike the other stuff one usually cooks, cannot be scaled to minimize leftovers.

    @HurtsSoGood: I'm just going to break this down point by point.

    1) Turkeys are delicious, any time of the year. So I kind of agree with you, in that it shouldn't be a once a year thing.

    2) Pork comes from pigs, which are not turkeys, and therefore does not taste the same. It is also delicious, but not the same thing.

    3) The point of thanksgiving is to maximize, not minimize leftovers. Stuffing sandwiches in early december are the entire point of the exercise.

    @m4ximusprim3: 4) Some of us really just enjoy eating dead animals.

    Not everyone is allowed pork.

    As soon as you name them, you can't eat them. "Courage" and "Carolina" should be very happy they were given monikers because it bumped them into "pet" animal class.

    @PaisleyPajamas: Ha! So the runner up turkey is named Carolina, which brings to mind that other runner-up - "Carrie".

    Just a couple of enhanced-breasted turkeys.

    In reply to Andrea Peyser Hopes Ugly Fat Lady Just Dies
    I told you all last time, Andrea Peyser is such a closet feeder! She totally loves the fatties, especially Lynne Stewart. There's just too much protest going on to not think Andrea goes to bed every night fantasizing she's feeding Lynne pastries with one hand and finger fucking her with the other. Someday, she'll admit her desires.

    and fuck her for wishing death on someone dealing with breast cancer, or for any fucking reason.

    When you look like Andrea, you really shouldn't be commenting on the looks of others. Thin doesn't always equal attractive and it doesn't in Ms. Peyser's case.
