I have a lot of Thanksgiving themed clips (reruns!) below, but I've saved the best for last.One of the best episodes of the always-classic WKRP in Cincinnati has to be the Thanksgiving episode, "Turkeys Away!"

Thanksgiving Frivolity Break: Politicians Who Look Like Turkeys
As a double-chin sufferer myself, I have a little compassion for these politicians. After all, as the years take their toll, I'm sure to have that chin turn into wattles too (unless the plastic surgery fairy visits). Meanwhile, there is still some fun to be had here. As a graphic artist and sometime cartoonist, nature's unkindest cuts are a caricaturist's dream. And, to be fair, I think Mitch McConnell looks more like a constipated turtle than a turkey.Politicians Who Look Like Turkeys Is it ... Read Full Story
A Decade in Seven Minutes
The decade is almost over, and we still don't know what the hell to call it. The two-thousandsees? The oooos? The ots? The 0s? I don't know. And I don't know that the decade is almost over yet, either. After all, if 2000 was the last year of the twentieth century, and 2001 was the beginning of the new decade/century/millennium, we still have a year to go.But pop culture doesn't work that way.

One More Bit on Sarah Palin - Andrew Sullivan
Image from CabalamatBack when we were first introduced to Sarah Palin (lo those many. . .months ago), there wasn't much known about her. She never gave a press conference, and was late in giving interviews (and what fun those eventually were!). So, outside a few tidbits, the media and bloggers didn't have much to go on. Very shortly though, came a flood of rumors and innuendo, originating from Alaska.It was during this short time period where the myth was born that Palin's family was savaged.... Read Full Story
Sarah Palin Fans Love Her, Don't Know Much About Her
President Barack Obama took a lot of heat for his celebrity status, his "cult of personality." Some of it is deserved, of course. He did seem to come out of nowhere. And many of his supporters went overboard. Still, it could be argued that after eight years of the Bush Administration, some enthusiasm for someone totally and utterly different was warranted. But the McCain-Palin campaign tried to turn "celebrity" into a bad thing. The right-wing radio yakkers, FOX "News" and their followers pla... Read Full Story
