Happy Thanksgiving…..and Welcome to Consumer Season

Today, we (in the spirit of inclusion “we” pertains to the whole of the United States and not as usual to denote only the Red States) all (strike “should” insert “will”, this is in keeping with getting behind our President) be thankful for the Lord’s (Lord is defined as the free-market system, or, is interchangeable with the Republican Party which can be CSpan shorthanded to Supports President Bush) bounty.

Remember (caution: “Remember” is usually followed with 9/11, this article is about Thanksgiving, so proof copy so that knee-jerk error of inserting 9/11 is corrected) Thanksgiving is a time when we all look back to all those wonderful things provided by our country and look forward to making our country all that it can be (subliminal--Join the Army). So gather your family around you today, hold them close and by all that is holy get out to the shopping centers tomorrow.

Thank God for a capital market system in which we can faithfully and without any social conscious or sense of shame watch people die of starvation and exposure from homelessness while we put more trinkets and tchotchkes in our shopping carts, and load our larders up with food that we will fail to eat and then throw away with a shrug and a smile of thankfulness for the bounty that God gave us, while denying it to those lazy pieces of shit out there sleeping in the snow.

My wife and I quit doing Christmas about 15 years ago. We tend to spend more money on birthdays and anniversary's. Life has been so much simpler and stress free since.
