Ronald Reagan’s 1986 Thanksgiving Address

Thursday, November 28th, 2013

Expect slow blogging the rest of the week while I’m giving thanks by stuffing my face, so here’s Ronald Reagan’s 1986 Thanksgiving address.

A Quick Pre-Thanksgiving LinkSwarm

Wednesday, November 21st, 2012

Lots of larger pieces in various stage of construction, but rather than put them up when everyone is getting ready for Thanksgiving, here’s a quick LinkSwarm:

  • Ted Cruz named National Republican Senatorial Committee Vice-Chairman. Maybe he can prevent Todd Akins from ensuing.
  • Former Sen. Warren Rudman dead at age 82. Gramm-Rudman-Hollings really worked at controlling the deficit. That’s why Democrats had to kill it.
  • Israel and Hamas agree to a ceasefire. Pretty much ensuring that we’ll go through this whole charade again a year or two down the road.
  • The Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco and Grain Millers Union, having been given a second chance by a federal judge, decided that the first hole in their foot just wasn’t big enough and decided to shoot again. Hostess is still dead.
  • Two weeks after wining reelection, and facing an FBI probe for corruption, Jesse Jackson, Jr. resigns. Like father like son.
  • William Shatner would like you to remember not to set yourself on fire frying a turkey.
  • And the Mythbusters would like you to avoid dropping a frozen turkey on your foot, or on your pets.
  • Happy Thanksgiving!
