Random Thanksgiving Day posts

First, happy Thanksgiving - I hope that you're all eating till you can't eat and are surrounded by friends and family. Special Thanksgiving wishes out to Outlaw 13, who's out there protecting our sorry asses while the rest of us are sitting fat and happy watching football and visiting with our respective clans.

In this excellent article, we are reminded that we are indeed involved in a world war. And unless we wake up and pull our heads out of our collective asses, we're in for trouble.

This is the nature of our times. We are at war and those who warn of its dangers are being systematically silenced by our enemies who demand that nothing get in the way of our complacency with our own destruction.
If journalists, intellectuals, social critics, authors and concerned citizens throughout the world do not rise up and demand that their governments protect their right to
free expression and arrest and punish those who intimidate and trounce that right, one day, years from now, when students of history ask how it came to pass that the Free World willingly enabled its own destruction, they will have to look no further than the contrasting fortunes of Al-Jazeera and Dyab Abou Jahjah on the one hand and Le Figaro and Robert Redeker on the other.

Read it all, and then send it to your Congress critters.

World Net Daily tells us that at least one of the "humiliated" imams kicked off that flight in Detroit has ties to Bin Laden and Hamas. I'm sure that any relation is merely anecdotal and unimportant. Or at least I'd bet that's what CAIR would have us believe.

On the SKY IS FALLING front, the global warming quacks are going to have a hard time explaining how Florida is recording unseasonably cold temperatures, and has even seen snow fall in Orlando. Speaking of, just how WAS that hurricane season?

Finally, my lovely wife and I went to the new Bond flick last night and I've gotta say - especially after we've been busting the new Bond's balls here at the Tattler - this was one of the best Bond flicks I've ever seen. A good return to the action and adventure without all the fluff of computer animated graphics or special effects. The new Bond stays in touch with all the previous Bonds - there's a hot 1964 Aston Martin that makes an appearance; we learn where James gets his penchant for martinis "shaken, not stirred"; learn why he's always aloof with the women he conquers; see how Bond and Felix Lighter meet for the first time, etc etc etc. Good stuff for that holiday escapism...

Now, back to football, family and food. Have a safe Thanksgiving everyone.
