Blood Is Thicker Than Gravy
By MAUREEN DOWD

ASHINGTON — I've been surprised, out on the road, how often I get asked about my family. They're beyond red - more like crimson. My sister flew to West Virginia in October to work a phone bank for W.

People often wonder what our Thanksgiving is like.

It's lovely - if you enjoy hearing about how brilliant Ann Coulter is, how misguided The New York Times's editorial page is, and how valiant the president is as he tries to stop America's slide into paganism.

This year, my brothers were on the warpath about news reports that Maryland public schools did not teach about Thanksgiving from a religious perspective. "Who do they think the Pilgrims thanked?" demanded Martin. "God."

There are moments - when my brothers are sharing some snarky thing Rush Limbaugh said about me, or the latest bon mot from Pat Buchanan, with whom they grew up - that I'm tempted to stuff my ears with my mom's potato stuffing, or go off and read a book by David Sedaris about normal family life.

1. Ah, did the family forget the genocide practiced on the Indians?

Or the slavery of the Blacks? Greed is the legacy of many Americans. Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy while practicing social cuts for the needy is proof.

3. One book written for adult children of alcoholics
had a great chapter titled "Merry Christmas and Other Disasters."

I suppose it would apply to any holiday with a Freeper extended family.

5. I can't believe this story.
Maureen "I Hate Everybody" Dowd wasn't born into a human family. She was brought by a crow.

6. She's every bit the bigot her brothers are!
ESPECIALLY when it comes to trashing the Clintons.

Whoreen should just do us a favor and shut up.
