First of all, I'd like to thank Bernie for serving up such a fantastic Thanksgiving Dinner for us. As a community we are happy to embrace people of all cultures and none. And who would have thought we had so much pumpkin left over from Halloween?.And normally on this day we give thanks for all the people without a sense of irony having left these shores in the 17th century.
But this year, our thanksgiving was constrained by the evidence from a number of directions that Good King Charles's Dad, the Martyr, didn't scare them all off.
So today we remembered all the people with no sense of humour that still populate this green and pleasant land. And we started to build a little boat that we like to call "Mayflower II". I'm sure you can all think of someone you'd like to put in it.
And in these humourless times, I would like to make it quite clear that if you're an American, we're not necessarily saying you're all without a sense of irony. While reflecting that, if you're the kind of American that has a sense of irony, you'll know that already.
Enough already. I'm off to go through Harriet Harman's Little Book of Terms you Shouldn't Use. I notice that "ginger" isn't in there, though. Who would have thought?
And to say a little prayer that, when Sarah Palin becomes president, somebody else is actually looking after the missiles.

Sarah Palin is exactly the type of humorless person to be an American Politician. No sense of Irony, no sympathy for Native Americans or wildlife (Hunts them to destruction) and a great supporter of Guns for all.
ReplyDeleteLately, she has taken to supporting 'Tea Party' types (sorry, this term always reminds me of a group of old ladies sitting down with tea and scones, waiting for the Vicar to call). Which appears to be a sign of desperation, without a Republican agenda of her own.
What the USA needs is another FDR, someone committed to the democratic process, with a heart for people - unfortunately, he and perhaps Kennedy were the last of their kind.
Perhaps they should bring back Bill Clinton - someone who everyone was comfortable with, who did not do much, but was considered successful due to that.
