  • Freedom of speech is still alive and well in this country as long as you’re not a college student.
  • Obama promises not to kill grandma, and I think he’s at least half sincere.
  • The Islamic Republic of Iran has gone thirty years without nuking anybody (here’s hoping they make it to thirty-one!).
  • All signs point to this generation’s children being the most adept ever at playing fake, plastic musical instruments.
  • Global warming has apparently been on break for like a decade (I guess it got shy after all the hype).
  • Almost 90% of people have employment.
  • Even after the recent liberal takeover, Democrats are far too scared to even bring up gun control nationally anymore.
  • The U.S. military continues to reduce the number of bad people in the world by significant quantities each year.
  • Soon poor people will get free room and board and free meals when they’re imprisoned for not buying health insurance.
  • Sparkly vampires aren’t real and therefore won’t be stealing our women.
  • Having completely squandered public support, the worst of the Democrats being in charge is already over.
  • The sun continues to be a cheap and free source of heating and light with no signs of stopping (thought it is the single greatest contributor to global warming).
  • Even in the worst of times, kitties and puppies are still fluffy.
  • The rest of the world finally likes our president, and that and five dollars gets you a cup of coffee.
  • Thanks to Twitter, we no longer have to speculate what inane thoughts are going through a given celebrity’s head at this very moment.
  • Whenever we’re feeling down, we can just listen to the last thing Joe Biden said to get a good laugh.
  • Glenn Beck is on the TV every day, allowing us all to keep an eye on him in case he tries to do anything crazy.
  • Though some things may have been better back in the day, we have one important thing our forefathers lacked: TiVo.
  • Hollywood continues to produce one or two good films a year.
  • Thanks to our efforts against militant Islam, we are still free to eat all the bacon we want.
  • Due to Sarah Palin’s aerial patrols, wolf attacks are down 30%.
  • Conservatives have one whole channel that isn’t left-leaning.
  • Even bankrupted under massive debt and with a ninny as president, America is still like a million times better than any other country.
  • Happy Thanksgiving!

      Perhaps, if you are ever suffering writer’s block, you could do an article detailing all of Biden’s gaffes. No need to embellish them at all. Heck, his gaffes deserve his own website keeping track of them.

      Better, keep track of everyone in the Obama administration, and detail all their stupidity in one place. Really watch the approval rates decline, then!

    2. 2. John Norton

      Turkeys aren’t stupid.

    3. 3. moho

      I’m glad you let me know last time around that this is a humor column, because I would have simply chided you here for awful writing.

    4. 4. Zack Lee!

      Moho, I’ve figured it out! You’re Charles Johnson!

    5. 5. daddyquatro

      Moho, since you can’t seem to pass up an opportunity to piss in everyone’s cornflakes, I won’t chide you for being a dick.
      Happy Thanksgiving!

    6. 6. programmer

      Turkeys are too stupid, are too, are too. By applying the inverted global warming correction factors to the yearly average of turkey IQs, it has been demonstrated in a peer reviewed fashion that they are actually getting stupider. (By the way, could someone explain to me what peer review really is? Does it have something to do with body funtions?)

    7. 7. MochaLite

      Good list! I would add: “Thanks to email hackers, we no longer have to worry about the polar ice cap ending up in our living room!”

      There’s always Joe Biden Said That?

      Someone had to let you know this was a humor column?

      Happy Thanksgiving to all!

      For me, this is a day when I think about my paternal grandparents, who immigrated here from Poland early in the twentieth century (my mother’s ancestors came earlier, and I never knew the ones who came here). The United States was the promised land for them, and they were grateful for it. I think of how much better my life is than theirs was, even after they came here. I can’t imagine how bad their lives must have been to make them leave their home country and travel thousands of miles to another. And I give thanks for how good my life is, and for the courage that my ancestors had.

      Already done, although in a satiric style that is hard to penetrate – it’s called the New York Times.

      Or the MSM.

    12. 12. Sebastian Shaw

      I’m thankful Congress for going home.

    13. 13. twolaneflash

      Burtterball turkeys is stupid. Wild turkeys is smart. Not street smart, but hide-n-seek in the woods smart.

      Don’t buy health insurance. Go to jail. Get three hots and a cot free, AND FREE HEALTH CARE. To buy or not to buy. That is the question.

      About those one or two decent Hollywood movies. They would be which ones, exactly? Gone With The Wind was a long time ago.

      Mmmm, bacon.

      Re: secular vs religious Thanksgiving.

      Aside from bowing with forehead to ground and saying a prayer of thanks to moho’s god Obama, just who (or what) are secularists thankful to?

    16. 16. john from cinncinatti

      i am thankful for moho whom i think is one funny guy. seriously i am thankful for the pilgrims who came to this land and moved all the furniture around, but not so much when i stub my big toe when i get up in the middle of the night.

    17. 17. Koblog

      And Frank, you’re wrong: reptilian is a perfect description of our Lizard-In-Chief.

      Domestic turkeys are dumb
      Wild turkeys are smart

      It is commonly said that if wild turkeys had a sense of smell you could never bag one.

      I grateful turkeys can’t smell

    19. 19. Marc Malone

      I worked on a turkey ranch as a teen. Domestic turkeys are so dumb, they drown in the rain. They stare up at it in wonder. “What’s that?” They then proceed to drown.

      We used to pardon one every year. moho was one of them.

      “So far, the Large Hadron Collider hasn’t destroyed the universe.”

      You know what a Hadron is? It´s what happens when a Gril touches your… sorry, couldn´t help myself.

    21. 21. jeffro

      “peer review” would be the missing word there. When a girl…etc.

      In regards to your wish for less Palin exposure in the news, bear in mind that it is her fans giving her the exposure. Without them, she would just be a poor version of Frank Flemming, a guy who has everything but fans and exposure.

      programmer,

      Definition of Peer Review.

      Several (minimum three) nobles gather to examine something. (When three or more nobles, preferably Britist, sit down in a pub to look at the latest Shariah court ruling, go out to a windy field to listen to a bagpipe band, or have the servants count the number of grouse taken in the weekly hunt are all examples of Peer Review.)

    24. 24. BigRichardSmall

      I’m thankful for my beautiful wife, My children who I will live off of in my old age, This wonderful country, and the fact that Aerosmith will put out good music for years to come. Yep, that sums it up.

    25. 25. JFM

      I’m thankful that thanks to Obama Moho will lose is job and will no longer be able to afford an Internet connection.

    26. 26. JFM

      I’m also thankful for my tiny penis, which has taught me humility.

    27. 27. No HyphenAmerican!

      mmm mmm mmm Barack Husein Obama mmm mmm mmm tryin’ to make a chocolate nation…mmm mmmm mmmmm full full full o nutcakes mmm mmm mmm we killed all the indians mmm mmm mmm now we have a day to party because of them mmm mmm mmm chocolate nation mmm mmm mmmm

      26..yeah, a lot of guys have to face the same humility….or buy big cars.

      Thanksgiving was grand!!! Visited with many relatives and friends!! and
      lotsa good food, pray that we could share with others that need it.
      On a planet with such great abundance there should not be one person that does not have all the food they want.

    28. 28. Robert Speirs

      “On a planet with such great abundance there should not be one person that does not have all the food they want.” An impossible dream, as long as Michael Moore is alive.

      Those who keep Palin in the news are journalists trying to tell you how irrelevant she is.

      6. Programmer: We’ve been looking at the term “peer review” (pr) all wrong. A definition of “peer” is “to peep out or appear slightly.” and a meaning of “review” is “to repeat and summarize all bids made by a [bridge] players“.  From that we clearly see that “pr” is simply a brief glimpse at the summary of bids made during a game.  So it’s all a game.  That’s good to know.  Chill out.  We’ve been taking this way too seriously. Even if turkeys are, too, stupid. Even the wild ones will “gobble” back at you, giving themselves away.
