I always knew the Doug at Hey Jenny Slater was a liberal-- in fact his blog started out a political one-- but his recent Maher Quotes and Miller diss have made his politics inignorable.  Is there anyone out there, with a developed sense of humor, who finds Maher to be Funny?  Much less funnier than Miller?

I wish I would have had time to do a thanksgiving roundup. Thanksgiving is my Favorite Holliday for practical and pincipled reasons. The Practical part if it is that I tend to have a great time doing nothing except being close to my family.  The principled part of it is that I think we all have so much to be thankful for, that a weekend based on that premise is well met.    I had  a bunch of links to post, to lileks, and Steyn, and  ring-magazine, and Orson Swindle, that would have offered a buffet of things to be thankful for. Things you might not have considered.    But since two of my friends have lost friends or family withen the last week, it seems best to stick to basics:   I am thankful for my Friends and Family, and for all the health and happiness that they might enjoy.
