Thank goodness we can be truly thankful on Thanksgiving!!


On this day before the traditional Thanksgiving Holiday of parades, football games and overstuffed bellies, there are a long list of things for which all thinking people should be heartily thankful.

1. George Bush cannot run for a third term.
2. We are not at war with Iran - yet.
3. We are not at war with Syria - yet.
4. We are not at war with North Korea - yet.
5. The media, after the horror of Katrina, finally started asking questions.
6. The majority of American people are finally questioning Bush's honesty.
7. The majority of American people are finally questioning Bush's competence.
8. The majority of American people finally want us out of Iraq.
9. The American people are seeing Dick Cheney for the slime he is.
10. The Democratic Party is finally showing signs of life.
11. Results of 2005 elections put Republicans on notice.
12. The White House is running scared.
13. Patrick Fitzgerald is reconvening the Grand Jury.
14. Tom DeLay has been indicted.
15. Scooter Libby has been indicted.
16. Carl Rove may yet be indicted.
17. Judith Miller is finally out of the news.
18. No drilling has yet occurred in the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge.
19. No suicide bombing has occurred in the United States - yet.
20. Although injured by 5 years of incompetent leadership, the United States is still alive.

Now, if the American people will consciously avoid putting more precocious adolescent brats in Congress in 2006 and another strutting turkey in the White House in 2008, we might survive to shovel our way out of this hole that's been dug for us.
