We went up to my mom’s house for Thanksgiving today and the boys got to come along because it was a beautiful day (in the high seventies) and they could romp in the backyard and ‘rassle’ and poop and pee anywhere they wanted to (Grandmas let you do that). After hours of running and mindless barking they are now home and crashed out on the couches upstairs and it is entirely likely that I will have to carry them down to bed tonight because they both look dead.

As always, Fenway posed for many beautiful pictures (enough to last me the rest of the year). Beckham just looks grumpy in all of them so I said screw it and  included one where he is playfully trying to rip Fenway’s throat out.

They are truly God’s playful little homicidal clowns….

This is such a simple and great post by John Cole and, if there is something to be thankful for today, it is a moment like the one he describes.

It reminds me of one of my all time favorites:

Back later with TNBB.

Andrew Malcolm, the Wilford Brimley of Wingnuttia, sets the ball on the tee and waits for others who swing from the right to take a whack at it:

On Thanksgiving eve, Obama issues special Hajj message to world’s Muslims

And swing they do:

Obama’s Happy Thanksgiving Hajj Message

Whilst spying on the Jewish people in Israel ……….. Obama does dawah. For all those leftists and Islamic apologists who accuse me of saying Obama is a crypto-Muslim (which I have not), I respond, what difference would it make if he were? What would he do differently if he were a crypto-Muslim? Nothing.

George W. Bush, crypto-Muslim:

Expect more about Obama’s Secret Coded Thanksgiving Muslin Message as the day goes on…
