A request for all DUmmies

And Amber dearest, it just won't be Thanksgiving without the heartwarming fish fry at your ripped Indian boyfriend's wigwam.

This is the first Thanksgiving bouncy I came across. They're gonna have to do better than this:

I ate dinner alone. My family ostracized me years ago because I won't stop talking politics.

That's Atman.

<<<knows Atman like the back of hand.

What the "RW mother-in-law" asked, right at the end of the meal, was "was the pumpkin pie okay?"

Trust me.

<<<knows.

Conservative families be dull.....

Not a "bluestateguy" in the bunch to liven things up.

Had Thanksgiving dinner in Smallville today. Family and friends. Near 30 of us- white, black, Mexican, and Indian (woo-woo, not red-dot). Without a doubt, a broader racial demographic than any DUmmy's Thanskgiving.

Not a racist, sexist, or homophobic work spoken.

By DUmmy standards, we were doing it wrong.

I always use "casino" vs. "call center" Indian to make the distinction.

I always use Injun Indian and Indian Indian. I suppose one of us will be called more racist than the other, but I don't which of us it would be.

I kept my opinions to myself all during dinner, until...


RW mother in law asks, right at the end of the meal, "So, what do y'all think of what happened with the policeman shooting the black boy?"

Uh oh. Take another bite of pie.  Or, a Louisville Slugger to the skull.

We actually had a pretty civil conversation for a bit. For my part, to attempt to stay clear of controversy, I indicted the media and they've whipped us into a frenzy for ratings. Who's us, dipshit? That worked out well until I mentioned Fox. The in-laws, avid Fox watchers, were totally taken aback at my suggestion that Fox was not an impartial source. I pointed out the history of Fox, and their lack of an actual news division. It got hotter than a fresh scoop of stuffing, but we managed to change the subject after mother in law says she'd like to learn more about Fox and Roger Ailles. Shocker! Wow!

Thanksgiving surprise. But I guarantee we'll awaken to "Fox & Friends" again tomorrow morning...at 110 decibels.

Wow......no fervent conversions?  Surely, there was a cop out in the backyard, clapping, that he missed.
